DirectOut has announced a new AVB/Milan module for its Prodigy Series of converters and processors.
The Milan.IO module supports up to 128 audio channels at 1FS, and marks DirectOut’s entry into the AVB/Milan community after joining the AVNU Alliance. The module features two redundant gigabit network interfaces with RJ45 or SFP options, managed via an internal AVB switch, and a sample rate support from 44.1Hz to 192kHz. Additionally, it supports an optional HD SRC technology, enabling sample rate conversion and providing an alternative to FastSRC.
DirectOut has expanded its range of supported audio network formats with the addition of AVB/Milan to its existing line-up, which includes Dante, Ravenna/AES67 and SoundGrid. With the Prodigy.MP Multifunction Audio Processor, equipped with two audio network slots, customers can now bridge AVB/Milan and Dante or any other supported audio network, as well as Madi, AES3, and analogue. The Prodigy.MP, with the addition of AVB/Milan and its filtering and DSP processing power, claims to offer ‘an unparalleled solution’ for FOH signal management and PA tuning.
‘Building bridges between different audio formats has been part of DirectOut’s DNA since the beginning,’ says DirectOut CEO/CTO, Claudio Becker-Foss. ‘Starting with Ravenna, we added SoundGrid and Dante as audio network formats to our portfolio, and an AVB/Milan solution is just the next step. Particularly the live sound industry embraced the advent of AVB/Milan and, with our new interface, we look forward to simplify and streamline audio processing and signal distribution in daily touring.’
