Usage Cases

N.B. The following diagrams omit secondary network connections for clarity.

MADI Connectivity for a System T Network

This provides MADI connectivity available to all networked System T consoles. The MADI Bridge can

also be used as a clock master for the Dante network or to provide external TDM devices with a

clock source.

Dante Network I/O Integration for MADI Consoles

This allows the addition of Dante networked devices to existing MADI infrastructure.

Leveraging Existing Network Infrastructure

Up to 8 MADI streams can be transmitted through 1Gb bandwidth - 512 channels at 48 kHz in each

direction.
