Description
The DiGiCo X-OB-C-D2 is an Orange Box configured with a D2 Interface Card C (DMI-MADI-C), providing connectivity for devices that use the RJ45 CAT5e MADI interface. The installed DMI-MADI-C card enables seamless integration with compatible DiGiCo racks and consoles while allowing a second DMI card to convert the audio stream into another professional format. This modular design offers outstanding flexibility for modern digital audio systems.
Flexible Audio Format Conversion
The Orange Box utilizes two interchangeable DMI card slots to convert audio between a wide variety of professional formats. With the D2 Interface Card C installed, users can pair it with Dante, Waves SoundGrid, Optocore, Hydra2, AES, Analogue, Aviom, or other compatible DMI cards to create the required signal path. This eliminates the need for multiple dedicated format converters. Engineers can build custom workflows using the same compact hardware platform.
Seamless DiGiCo Integration
Designed specifically for DiGiCo environments, the X-OB-C-D2 integrates effortlessly with compatible SD Series and Quantum consoles as well as supported stage rack systems. The DMI-MADI-C interface supports high-channel-count MADI communication over CAT5e while maintaining reliable low-latency performance. Genuine DiGiCo hardware ensures complete compatibility and dependable operation. Engineers can expand existing infrastructures without changing established workflows.
Reliable Professional Design
The Orange Box is housed in a durable 2U rackmount enclosure engineered for continuous professional operation. Dual redundant internal power supplies provide uninterrupted performance if one power source fails. This redundancy is essential for live events, broadcast facilities, and mission-critical installations where reliability is paramount. The rugged chassis is designed to withstand the demands of touring and fixed installations alike.
Expandable Audio Networking
The modular DMI platform allows the Orange Box to expand as system requirements evolve. Users can replace or add compatible DMI cards to support emerging audio networking standards without changing the core hardware. This scalable design protects existing investments while extending connectivity options. Engineers can integrate multiple audio protocols using a single compact interface.
Built for Professional Productions
The DiGiCo X-OB-C-D2 is ideal for touring companies, broadcast facilities, theaters, houses of worship, recording studios, and corporate AV installations. Combining the Orange Box platform with the D2 Interface Card C configuration provides dependable CAT5e MADI connectivity, flexible protocol conversion, and reliable system operation. Its compact design, redundant power supplies, and modular architecture make it an excellent addition to professional digital audio networks..
