Description

The Dual MADI I/O card is designed for use with the Avid Pro Tools | MTRX – Call 323-845-1145 to learn more about what MTRX can do for your workflow.

Add 128 channels of MADI inputs and outputs to the Pro Tools | MTRX with Dual MADI I/O PCIe option card

The MTRX Dual MADI I/O option is a full-length PCIe card with two latching SFP cages for MADI optical SFP (small form-factor plug-able) transceivers. The Dual MADI I/O card enables the Pro Tools | MTRX to transmit up to 128 channels of MADI audio. Unlike the MADI Module daughter board, the Dual MADI I/O PCIe card fits into the I/O option slots on the MTRX. With eight Dual MADI PCIe cards, plus the MADI Module daughter board, you can configure the MTRX as a 19 x 19 MADI router.

Avid Pro Tools | MTRX Dual MADI I/O card in one take:

  • Adds up to 128 channels of MADI I/O per each MTRX option slot
  • Accepts two 64-channel, bi-directional small form-factor plug-able (SFP) transceivers
  • Add optical I/O via Lucent Connectors (LC) or mini-BNC for compatibility with Pro Tools | HD MADI interface

MADI Module and Dual MADI I/O option card—what’s the difference?

The MTRX MADI Module is a small-form daughter board that fits underneath the motherboard, becoming integral to the MTRX base unit. The MADI Module connectors appear in the MTRX base unit in the optical I/O slot above the DigiLink connectors. The Dual MADI I/O option card is a full-length PCIe card that fits into one or more of the eight expansion slots on the MTRX rear panel.

Which should I use, 850nm or 1300nm, LED or laser?

 Wavelength—850nm, 1300nm, and 1500nm are the three common wavelengths used for optical fiber transmissions. Multi-mode MADI cards commonly use 850nm and 1300nm. 850nm is a lower cost alternative to the 1300nm transceivers due to the use of short wavelength optics. Maximum cable runs for 850nm wavelength are approximately 1,000 ft., whereas 1300nm wavelength allows cable runs up to 6,600 ft.

Digital live sound consoles, such as those by Soundcraft, Studer, and Yamaha have MADI cards that use the 1300nm wavelength. Consult your owners manual or manufacturer for your system’s optical wavelength.

Light source: LEDs are a more cost-effective light source, whereas laser is more powerful, operate at faster speeds, capable of transmitting light more accurately over longer distances. Naturally, laser light sources are more expensive.

The following SFP transceivers are available for the MTRX MADI Module:

  • MTRX SFP/LC – 1300nm, Laser (optical module multi-mode)
  • MTRX SFP/LC – 1300nm, low output LED (optical module multi-mode)
  • MTRX SFP/LC –850nm, low output LED (optical module multi-mode)
  • MTRX SFP Coax — Coaxial MADI transceiver HD/mini-BNC
