DirectOut has released Madi4.SRC.IO and Madi4.IO modules for the Prodigy.MX system, extending audio processing and connectivity.
Following the first major upgrade to the Prodigy.MX released earlier in 2024, this upgrade adds a number of new features to the functionality of the current Prodigy mainframe, available under the Advanced and Unlimited system licences. These include a 64x64 matrix mixer (MatMix), 64 flex channels with 64 IIR filters, 64 dynamics and delay plug-ins, and 64 input managers and EARS for all input channels, giving the system an improved levels of redundancy and reliability. These enhancements enable cost-effective solutions as all features can be purchased either as single software plug-ins or in combination as part of the system licence bundles.
The Madi4.SRC.IO and Madi4.IO modules provide four Madi ports each, enabling an channel count of 256 inputs and 256 outputs at 1FS (48kHz) per module. This increased capacity provides higher performance for professional audio applications, while both modules support a variety of Madi formats for increased flexibility, including BNC coaxial, single mode and multi-mode optical, thanks to SFP slots.
The Madi4.SRC.IO module is being offered as a ‘breakthrough innovation’, providing art sample rate conversion (HD SRC) for all Madi inputs and outputs onboard. Both modules also offer automatic redundancy switching between Madi ports and EARS, providing seamless audio switching for uninterrupted operation.
The Madi4.IO module is a cost-effective option for synchronous Madi set-ups without the requirement for SRCs, making it an attractive choice for customers looking for competitive prices and powerful solutions. Future plans include the introduction of FastSRCs as a licensed feature.
‘With these new developments, we continue on our path of offering innovative and flexible solutions for professional audio applications,’ says DirectOut CTO, Claudio Becker-Foss. ‘This upgrade extends the possibilities of the Prodigy.MX far beyond of what you typically expect from an infrastructure device. We believe these enhancements will raise the industry standards and help our customers realise their creative visions.’
