Description
The DiGiCo MOD-DMI-OP-STS is a DMI Optocore expansion card designed for single-mode optical audio networking through ST connectors. It allows compatible DiGiCo systems to transport high-capacity digital audio over an Optocore network. When connected to a DiGiCo Orange Box, the card allows the Orange Box to be added to an Optocore loop and interfaced with another DMI card. It supports up to 128 channels of I/O at 48 kHz or up to 64 channels at 96 kHz. The card is designed for professional live sound, touring, broadcast, and permanent installation applications.
Optocore Audio Networking
The MOD-DMI-OP-STS provides Optocore audio connectivity through ST optical connections. It enables reliable digital audio transport between compatible DiGiCo equipment over fiber. The optical network architecture provides flexible signal distribution for large-scale professional audio systems. Single-mode fiber is particularly suitable for applications requiring longer-distance optical transmission. The card provides a practical solution for expanding Optocore-based DiGiCo systems.
ST Single-Mode Connectivity
This version of the DMI-OPTO family uses ST connectors with single-mode optical technology. The ST interface provides a secure and established connection format for professional fiber installations. Single-mode operation allows the module to support long-distance optical audio networking. The card is designed specifically for the ST single-mode configuration. Other DMI-OPTO versions are available with HMA and OpticalCon connector formats.
Orange Box Integration
Connecting the MOD-DMI-OP-STS to a DiGiCo Orange Box allows the Orange Box to be integrated into an Optocore loop. The Orange Box can then interface with another compatible DMI card for expanded digital audio connectivity. This provides a flexible method for integrating different DiGiCo audio formats into an Optocore network. The system supports up to 128 channels of I/O at 48 kHz. At 96 kHz, the system supports up to 64 channels of I/O.
4REA4 System Integration
The MOD-DMI-OP-STS is also compatible with the DiGiCo 4REA4 system. With SD and 4REA4 integration, an SD console can control I/O connected to the 4REA4. This enables centralized control of distributed I/O within compatible DiGiCo systems. The integration provides additional flexibility for installations and professional audio networks. It makes the card suitable for systems requiring distributed digital audio connectivity and control.
Professional Optical Expansion
The card supports 1G and 2G fiber speeds for high-capacity Optocore audio networking. Its single-mode optical architecture is suitable for professional systems where extended fiber distances are required. The modular DMI format allows the card to be integrated into supported DiGiCo equipment. It is designed for demanding touring, live production, broadcast, theatre, and permanent installation environments. The MOD-DMI-OP-STS provides a scalable optical networking solution for compatible DiGiCo systems.
