Description
The DiGiCo Orange Box is a versatile 2U rackmount interface designed to bridge multiple professional audio formats using DiGiCo Multichannel Interface (DMI) cards. It provides an efficient way to create audio paths between different protocols without replacing existing equipment. Whether integrating new systems or expanding current infrastructures, the Orange Box delivers exceptional flexibility. Its modular design allows users to tailor connectivity to their exact requirements.
Dual DMI Expansion Architecture
The Orange Box features two DMI card slots that allow users to install compatible DiGiCo interface modules. Each slot can accommodate a different DMI card, enabling direct conversion from one audio protocol to another. For example, MADI can be converted to Dante, or Optocore to Hydra2, simply by selecting the appropriate interfaces. This modular architecture eliminates the need for multiple standalone converters.
Broad Format Compatibility
Compatible DMI cards support a wide range of professional audio formats, including Dante, MADI, Optocore, Hydra2, AES, Analogue, Aviom, and additional network protocols. This broad compatibility allows the Orange Box to integrate seamlessly into existing production systems regardless of the underlying audio infrastructure. Users can connect different platforms without compromising audio quality or performance.
Reliable Redundant Power
To ensure uninterrupted operation during critical productions, the Orange Box includes dual redundant power supplies as standard. If one power source becomes unavailable, the second supply automatically maintains continuous operation. This redundancy minimizes the risk of system downtime during live events, broadcasts, and installations. Engineers gain greater confidence when deploying the unit in mission-critical environments.
Compact and Scalable Design
The Orange Box is housed in a durable 2U rackmount chassis that integrates easily into mobile racks and permanent installations. Its compact footprint conserves valuable rack space while providing extensive connectivity options. As new DMI cards become available, the platform can be expanded to support additional audio formats and technologies. This future-ready design protects existing investments while allowing systems to evolve. Engineers can scale their infrastructure without replacing core hardware.
Built for Professional Productions
The DiGiCo Orange Box is engineered for touring companies, broadcast facilities, theaters, houses of worship, recording studios, and corporate production environments. Its modular DMI architecture, broad format compatibility, redundant power supplies, and compact design make it an essential tool for professional audio networking. The system enables seamless communication between multiple audio protocols while maintaining outstanding reliability and performance. Built with genuine DiGiCo engineering, it supports demanding applications with ease.
