T
he MADI-X8 is a versatile and cost-
effective 8-port MADI audio router/
splitter/aggregator system that was
a direct response to requests for an audio asset sharing
system that is affordable for small and mid scale installations.
Delivering a low-cost, 512 crosspoint router with eight MADI
I-O and clock distribution that can be controlled from cross-
platform browser software from anywhere on a network is a
significant achievement. In addition to offering simple point-to-
point bulk routing, MADI-X8 offers Source Distribution (one source to several
destinations), Device Splitting (any combination of individual channels to any
destination) and Source Aggregation (a single 64-channel output consisting
of any combination of channels from various inputs). It has applications in
broadcast production studios and OB vehicles, large scale film/game scoring,
multiroom studio complexes requiring real time asset sharing, and live sound.
MADI-X8 is a 1U with six MADI fibre and two coax I-Os. It provides a
512 x 512 point routing matrix controlled
by SSL Logictivity Browser software. The
browser interface makes creation of complex
routing configurations very straightforward. The MADI-X8
hardware can store 128 presets and continues to function when
the Logictivity Browser is disconnected.
MADI-X8 can act as a Master Clock source or as a clock
distribution system via its MADI and/or Word clock connections.
It has Intelligent Clock Sensing with Auto Failover, which
can monitor a Primary Master Clock and a Secondary Clock source, and
can switch automatically should the Master Clock source fail. Up to four
MADI-X8 units can be controlled by a single browser and multiple browsers
can control a single MADI-X8 over a wired or wireless network.
This kind of technology has not been available at this price before so it
lowers the barrier to what can be achieved with an intelligent audio network
in small- to mid-scale systems. n
