DiGiCo Orange Box – MADI BNC to KLANG 2 RU Unit with Dual PSUs
DiGiCo Orange Box – MADI BNC to KLANG 2 RU Unit with Dual PSUs
The compact 2U Orange Box by DiGiCo is designed to facilitate the use of DMI (DiGiCo Multichannel Interface) cards for the creation of audio paths across various interfaces. The Orange Box is equipped with two power supply units (PSUs) for redundancy and features two slots that can accommodate any of the ten available interfaces, thus enabling seamless format conversion. This flexibility is also applicable to other formats, including Hydra 2, Optocore, Aviom, AES, and analog. This versatile “anything in, anything out” box provides a selection of multichannel user interfaces, allowing audio to be routed as needed in the desired format.
Features:
- Compact 2U design
- 2 PSUs for redundancy
- 2 slots for DMI cards
- Supports up to 10 different interfaces
- Allows format conversion between multiple interfaces like MADI, Dante, Hydra 2, Optocore, AES, Aviom, and Analogue
Specifications:
- 2U rack unit
- Redundant power supply: Yes
- Interface: DMI cards with support for multiple formats
- Compatibility: MADI, Dante, Hydra 2, Optocore, AES, Aviom, Analogue, and more
This version of the Orange Box unit includes the following interface cards:
*DiGiCo MOD-DMI-MADI-B 56/64-Channel 96 kilohertz MADI I/O Expansion Card with BNC Connectors
DMI-MADI-B
This card can be used to connect a Standard MADI stream (64 channels in and out) at 48KHz or 96KHz or an SD Series DiGiCo Rack with the appropriate connector (D2-Rack, SD-Rack, SD-MINIRack)
MADI (Multichannel Audio Digital Interface) is arguably one of the most popular protocols for transmitting high channel counts in professional audio. This is partially due to its ease of use, and the ability for cables to be run long lengths with minimal signal loss. Originally only capable of transmitting 56 channels, MADI is now capable of transmitting up to 64 channels.
DiGiCo offers two MADI DMI cards, each with different connector types. Both the MADI-B (BNC) and the MADI-C (RJ45) cards can be used to connect up to 64 channels of audio in and out at both 48kHz and 96kHz. At 96kHz, the B connection must be connected to provide the full channel count.
When making use of the SD/4REA4 integration, the DMI-MADI-B allows an SD console to control I/O that is connected to the 4REA4.
Main Features
- 75Ω Coaxial (BNC) connections
- 64 channels in and out and 48kHz and 96kHz
- For use with any standard BNC MADI audio device
- Allows DiGiCo I/O to be controlled via an SD console through a 4REA4
- Compatible with S-Series, Quantum Range, SD12, Orange Box and 4REA4
