CHAPTER 1: Overview
How it works
All modules inserted into the mainframe offer a variety of inputs and outputs that
are managed by an internal routing matrix.
There are four converter slots equipped with eight channels per module and
interface direction for conversion of up to 32 audio channels. Combined with the
two audio network options, two MADI options and the headphones outputs the
maximum channel capacity of the device increases to 416 inputs and 420 outputs.
Signal processing is managed internally by a DSP routing matrix which connects
hardware I/Os with the DSP processing blocks - such as Flex Channels, Matrix
Mixer, Summing Busses and Plug-Ins (EQ, Delay, Dynamics).
Applications
PRODIGY.MP can be used for bidirectional conversion between analog and
digital signals, signal processing, signal distribution, conversion between network
audio formats, streaming audio, conversion between audio networks and MADI
environments, conversion of different MADI signals.
Typical applications include:
• Live PA measurements, tuning and control
• Centralised virtual sound-check-station (collecting feeds from stage racks
for multi-track recording, distribution of playback to different consoles with
different formats and sample rates)
• Enhanced playback-station (with EARS and LTC reader)
• Signal collection and processing in broadcast and fixed installation
(MicPres, EQs, Limiters, Delay, Summing Busses, Matrixes, Mixers, …)
• Format and sample rate conversions of network audio streams
• Signal distribution (routing matrix)
• Clock extractor/distributor with automatic redundancy and selectable priorities
• Enhancing the level of redundancy of complex live and realtime audio
environments
• Stream monitoring (headphones / hardware outputs)
