MADI
(Multi-channel Audio Digital Interface) is an
established standardised audio format that can carry up
to 64 channels of audio in a single cable connection.
MADI is available in two different cable/connection
formats; MADI Optical (Optical Fibre cable with SC type
connectors) or MADI Coaxial (Coax’ cable with BNC
connectors).
The SSL
‘MADI Opti-Coax’ is a handy format converter box
designed to convert up to 64 audio channels
bi-directionally (64 IN & 64 OUT) between the MADI
Optical and MADI Coaxial formats. Its front panel is
equipped with one set of MADI SC type optical input &
output connectors and one set of MADI BNC coaxial input
& output connectors.
Conversion takes place in real time with no latency and
no audio degradation. In addition to simple format
conversion MADI Opti Coax can be used to extend cable
distance coverage from 50m for the MADI Coax format to
2km for the MADI Optical format. MADI Opti-Coax is
housed within a rugged all metal case and is extremely
simple to use.
