RME Audio, RME-MADI-RT, 12 Port MADI Digital Patchbay Router and Format Converter
As MADI systems grow, they may require a central router to distribute and merge streams and individual channels. The MADI Router is a device that can be used to split MADI signals into several outputs, or combine audio channels from several inputs into one signal. The MADI Router is a compact device designed to link MADI devices of any manufacturer with unprecedented flexibility in signal routing. It provides this flexibility by serving as a format converter between optical and electrical signals, as a signal repeater, and as a distributor and merger of several MADI signals, all at the same time. The MADI Router combines many advantages of point-to-point audio connections, such as low latency and fast recovery time from signal line interruptions, with the flexibility of networked audio connections in which any device has access to any channel accessible on the network of connected devices. At the simplest level input signals are passed on to the desired output unaltered. This type of connection is beneficial when manufacturers have embedded additional status or remote control data information in the MADI stream.
