DiGiCo X-D2-DI-C D2-RACK with 24 XLR Channels/24 AES Channels and CAT6 MADI Connection

Delivering 96KHz on CAT6

The D2-Rack spearheads DiGiCo’s digital connectivity with an expandable channel count and high sample rates, providing more than enough firepower to meet the needs of the most ambitious projects.

The compact 9U rack sports 48 inputs and 16 outputs as standard; these can be increased to 32 outputs by populating the two spare eight channel output slots with one or more of three available module options: Line out, AES or Aviom.

For further flexibility, the D2-Rack’s inputs can be specified as either 48 mic in or 24 mic/24 AES/EBU in.

Dual MADI ports, available on either BNC or DiGiCo Cat5e connections, either allow rack sharing at 48kHz between any two SD Series consoles or provide digital splits for recording. When combined, these ports create a single high definition 96kHz MADI connection with absolutely no reduction in I/O.

To ensure ultimate reliability the D2-Rack is equipped with dual redundant power supplies as standard.

• 9U MADI connected high performance rack
• Option of 48 Mic In or 24 Mic/24 AES/EBU In
• Analogue and Digital output expansion
• Redundant power supplies as standard
