DirectOut Adds Three New Products To MADI Line Up

Following the success of the recently launched Andiamo.XT, analogue, MADI and AES converter and the EXBOX.64, active MADI format converter and range extender, the busy DirectOut development team impressed at IBC 2011 with the launch of three new products.
The Andiamo.XT SRC extends the functionality of the Andiamo.XT with the addition of sample rate converters to all 16 AES inputs (32 channels), switchable in groups of eight channels. The XT SRC will prove invaluable where there is a need to connect to asynchronous signals.
DirectOut Technologies Breakout has been designed to extend the use of the Andiamo series in XLR environments. Built with XLR connectors on the front panel and D-Sub connectors on the back, audio signals are passed passively between the two.
There will be two versions in the Breakout series, Breakout.AN8 with 8 channel analogue I/O and Breakout.AES with 16 channel/ 8 port AES3 I/O.
Both of these products are due to ship at the end of the year.
The MA2CHBOX.XT has four MADI and one AES ports and provides two channel monitoring of 258 channels, embedding and de-embedding AES3 in the MADI stream and signal conversion between optical and coaxial signals.
Aspen Media distributes DirectOut in the UK and its Director, Chris Collings, said: “The DirectOut range has been one of the stars of our dedicated MADI website www.aspen-madi.com and these new products will undoubtedly further enhance the brand.”
Aspen Media has been supplying audio equipment to the broadcast industry for over fifteen years under the leadership of its Director Chris Collings.
