Directout M1K2 BNC I/O 16 Port MADI Router

Directout M1K2 BNC I/O 16 Port MADI Router

M.1K2 is a scalable 16-port MADI router that provides a powerful routing matrix for up to 1024 x 1024 audio channels that fills the gap between small scale routing devices and large cross bar solutions. The device features two I/O slots that can be fitted with BNC, SC optical or SFP 8-MADI-port I/O modules. It may be operated with one I/O 8-port module and upgraded to 16 ports as required.

Features:

• Safe, reliable operation - M.1K2 offer the highest reliability thanks to two phase-redundant power supplies with separate IEC inlets and AC power switches on the rear panel. Furthermore, two MADI ports may be configured as redundant pairs. In the event of a problem, an automatic, click-free changeover takes place between the modules and the user is informed via the software interface. 4 GPOs may be used for signaling events or integration in the studio. SNMP support provides network-based monitoring of the device state.
• Doppelgänger (Device Mirroring) - One (or more) M.1K2s can be configured to act as a slave to one master device. All configuration data (crosspoints, port configuration, labels etc.) is synchronized continuously.
• Automation - LUA Scripting Engine – Functions and predefined command sequences (e.g. salvos) can be configured via scripts that are triggered by definable hot-keys.
• Clocking - The M.1K2 may be clocked by any MADI input, word clock, video reference input or it can serve as a clock generator. The system clock is provided at two additional word clock outputs.
• PolySync - Each MADI port may have its own clock reference, extending the application of the M.1K2 in mixed clock environments.
• MADImatrix - All audio signals can be routed arbitrarily, either in groups or singly. Non-audio signals can also be routed. All input signals are refreshed, keeping the user bits unchanged at the output.
• Embedder / De-embedder Matrix - Serial data (MIDI, RS-232, RS-422/485) embedded in the MADI signal or from the hardware interfaces can be routed separately from the audio signal.
• Labelling - A powerful CSV import/export function is provided for I/O labelling. Switchable layers display either customized names or the port/channel number.
• Snapshot Management - Snapshots containing all routing, label, port and clock configuration settings in one single package can be grouped in projects and exchanged between different M.1K2 devices. Individual parts of a snapshot may be restored at any time.
• User Management - Individual function control based on definable permission classes can be setup for different users enabling these users to share device control in complex environments according to their level of permission.
• Remote Access - Remote operation is via a network connection and web browser interface. Concurrent access from other locations is possible and is not limited to a specific operating system. Firmware updates can be installed via Ethernet.
