SSL Releases New MADI-Bridge Features

Solid State Logic released new features for MADI-Bridge, the company’s MADI to Dante IP Audio Network interface, at IBC2014

Part of the company’s 'Network I/O' Range, MADI-Bridge is the industry’s first fully broadcast-ready interface between MADI and Dante. The new features for the MADI-Bridge include bi-directional Sample Rate Conversion and a unique and powerful new 'Split Mode'.
'MADI-Bridge' provides an interface between a Dante IP Audio Network and MADI. With 64 channels per Bridge at 48kHz, or 32 channels at 96kHz, redundant MADI, IP Network ports and PSU, the Bridge is built for uninterrupted fully-redundant operation.
It includes a pair of sync inputs for use as a self-redundant Dante Grand Master clock. The unit can synchronise to Video sync, tri-level or black and burst, Word clock, MADI or PTP Network sync. MADI-Bridge also features a front panel headphone socket with rotary level control and built-in headphone monitor routing.
MADI-Bridge was shown for the first time at IBC and features bi-directional 44.1kHAz/48kHz/88.2kHz/96kHz Sample Rate Conversion functionality. Split Mode allows the pair of MADI connectors to be used independently for bi-directional split/combine operation. Two 32 channel 96kHz MADI feeds can be combined to form one 64 channel 48kHz Dante stream or an asynchronous, but same sample rate stage can be connected to multiple OB vehicles.
