MADI Bridge Patchbay / Distributor / Signal Buffer and Input Selector description:
Developed as the optimal missing link between MADI devices of any manufacturer, RME's MADI Bridge is patchbay, distributor, signal buffer and input selector, all at the same time - and thus mandatory for every MADI user. Up to 16 devices can be freely connected with each other by 6 coaxial (BNC) and 2 optical in- and output pairs. Thanks to an intuitive and easy to navigate user surface, the device is easy to understand and to operate. The MADI Bridge adds to RME's MADI series as a comfortable, even MIDI controlled device management solution.
All input signals are routed unaltered to the desired outputs. Like this, the MADI Bridge supports any format, no matter if it is 56 or 64 channels or includes special invisible control commands, any sample rates and even out-of-spec data rates or violations of the MADI protocol. Thanks to a highly sensitive input stage, coaxial cable lengths of 100 m can be used - even between several devices.
On the front panel, 8 alpha-numeric LED displays show the current signal source for every output separately. With two push buttons per channel, any signal source can be changed quickly. Besides input 1 to 8, input 0 (no input) can be chosen as well. An output can be fed by any input, several outputs also by the same input, so that the device can additionally be used as a distributor.
