Introduction
I
NTrODUCTION
Network I/O – SDI is a broadcast specification bidirectional bridge between Embedded SDI Audio, a Dante IP Audio
Network and industry standard MADI.
Includes eight 3G-SDI paths with embedders and de-embedders for 16 audio channels. The unit has dual Dante and triple
MADI connectivity (2 x optical, 1 x coax). In addition to SDI-Dante bridging, SDI allows direct bridging between SDI and
MADI infrastructure. Internal channel-by-channel routing enables flexible routing between all three domains, or can be
used as a standalone audio router. As you would expect redundant PSUs provide reassurance in a 24-hour Broadcast
environment.
