M8-OPT

4 Optical MADI Ports MADI Matrix with 2 x Optocore, 2 x SANE Ports and dual PSU

M8-OPT is a standalone optical MADI switch with single-channel routing and bridging capabilities. M8-OPT can be networked and integrated with the optical OPTOCORE® and Cat5 SANE digital network systems. The unit provides four optical duplex MADI ports, offering 256 input and 256 output digital audio channels.

Product Details
The audio engine is equipped with a single channel router, enabling routing from/to any MADI stream, either within the same device or between the remote devices. M8-OPT can be used either as an extremely powerful standalone MADI router or as multi-channel MADI interface for the Optocore fiber ring network. The M8-OPT is additionally equipped with two SANE ports, which enables sending and receiving up to 256 audio channels via standard CAT5 cable (MADI over Cat5). SANE ports together with two LAN interfaces can be used to route Ethernet data as well.

The M8-OPT is the perfect main MADI hub unit for a wide range of professional audio devices with MADI inputs and outputs such as digital consoles, DAW, playback devices and professional broadcast units. The huge amount of channels exchanged by one M8-OPT makes it the ideal and the most cost effective interface for digital console systems as well as a perfect central device offering individual channel routing feature.
