RME ADI-6432R BNC Bidirectional 64-Channel MADI/AES-3id Converter
Description
The ADI-6432R BNC from RME is 64-channel format converter, that features conversion from MADI to AES, and vice versa. MADI handles 64 channels of 24-bit audio at sampling frequencies up to 48kHz, 32 channels up to 96kHz and 16 at 192kHz. Dual redundant power supplies offer fail-safe operation.
All channels are transferred across a single cable, using either a coaxial (BNC) or optical network cable. Typical applications could include two units for use as a digital multi-core, or a single unit used as AES/EBU front end for the Hammerfall DSP MADI PCI card.
The BNC version targets broadcasters and other professionals who require AES-3id connections with up to 300 meter lengths. AES-3id is an extension to the AES/EBU standard, and carries the exact same data as the latter, but uses a different cable (75O unbalanced instead of 110O balanced), BNC connectors, and lower voltages.
The unit features RME's SteadyClock, which provides very low jitter operation. Intelligent Clock Control retains the last valid sample frequency in case of a loss of the input signal. The front panel contains almost 100 LEDs for accurate and exact display of signal status. Errors can be spotted instantly and corrected, and the control keys can be locked to prevent accidental changing of settings.
