SSL Launches XLogic Delta-Link HD MADI to ProTools|HD Digital Converter (7/11/2006)

The XLogic Delta Link MADI HD is a professional MADI Converter for Studio, Live and Broadcast Applications. Delta Link MADI HD facilitates direct interconnectivity between Digidesign ProTools|HD(r) systems and MADI enabled audio equipment.

With XLogic Delta Link MADI HD Multichannel Audio Digital Interface based audio equipment like routers, digital mixing consoles and converters can now be directly interfaced with ProTools|HD(r), providing simplified interconnectivity, significant cost reductions and eliminating the need for complicated format conversion workarounds.

Delta Link MADI HD offers systems integrators significant cost savings. Multiple Digi 192 I/O and additional AES/EBU to MADI converters are no longer needed because one Delta Link MADI HD replaces up to 8 Digi 192 Digital I/O's, delivering 256 channels of digital audio interconnection from a single hardware interface. MADI HD further reduces cost by using an efficient single cable interconnect system and occupies less physical rack space than equivalent systems. Single cable connectivity between ProTools(r) DSP cards and MADI cards also means efficient simple system configuration. Fiber Optic MADI allows distances up to 1000m between the ProTools(r) system and other MADI equipment. Remote audio routing to and from ProTools(r) is also possible in conjunction with MADI routing equipment.

Main Features

* 2 Primary port interfaces (32 channel each) to a Digidesign ProTools|HD(r) card * 2 optical MADI ports * Each MADI port offers 56 or 64 MADI digital inputs & outputs at up to 48kHz, 28 or 32 MADI digital inputs and outputs at up to 96kHz, 14 or 16 MADI digital inputs and outputs at up to 192kHz * Word/SuperClock input * All input and output channels can be used simultaneously in any configuration. For instance, when combining the Delta Link MADI HD with the Alpha Link MADI SX converter unit, it is possible to route the analog and AES/EBU inputs to the MADI outputs, and at the same time the MADI inputs to the analog and AES/EBU outputs. * The latency generated by the Delta Link MADI HD itself is limited to 1 sample (MADI Out) and 1-2 samples (MADI In). Furthermore the unit allows to set a user definable latency compensation per channel * A USB interface is provided for user control and/or future firmware updates

Availability

Delta Link MADI HD will be shipping worldwide in November. Delta Link MADI HD is priced at $4,995.00.
