Datasheet

MADI is widely used for large-scale digital audio systems such as audio consoles and
conversion systems, allowing multiple channels to be carried along a single interface.
RedNet D64R provides the link between a Dante Ethernet-based audio system and any
MADI / AES10 setup. D64R supports up to 64 channels of both coaxial and optical MADI
interfaces and is completely bi-directional, allowing the use of any Dante components
including RedNet’s high quality interface products with a MADI system – or MADI
components with a Dante system.
D64R features a sample rate converter (SRC) on each input and output allowing
interfacing between MADI and Dante irrespective of the sample rate at which either
system is operating. Connect a Dante network to MADI-based digital consoles, computer
cards, converters and much more. In addition to both coax and optical MADI interfaces,
RedNet D64R provides Word Clock in and out.
PSU and Ethernet redundancy
Dual Ethernet ports are provided, with locking etherCON connectors and several
operating modes including daisy-chaining and redundancy confi rmed by front-panel
indicators. Two separate power supplies with fault detection capability are included,
with separate power input sockets (including retaining clips) on the rear of the unit.
Power status is indicated both remotely and on the front panel. The D64R features
a rugged, roadworthy exterior and high internal build quality. In addition, it offers
a compact 1U rack-mount form factor for a full 64 channels of I/O.
About RedNet
Launched in 2012, Focusrite's RedNet range was one of the fi rst to adopt the Dante
audio-over-IP network as the infrastructure for a new and versatile range of products.
Since then, RedNet has become increasingly popular for a diverse range of audio
applications, from theme parks to opera, from studio to major live events.
RedNet has become known for its quality and reliability – the latter a feature that is
brought even more to the fore by the inclusion of redundancy capabilities – as well as
proving exceptionally simple to operate and offering the best-sounding audio-over-IP
solution availablend full operability with other Dante devices.
Key Features
• Connects a MADI system and
a Dante network seamlessly
together. Connect Dante to digital
mixing consoles, interfaces and
cards that use MADI; or extend
a MADI system with RedNet’s
versatile, superb-quality audio
interfaces and connectivity – or any
other Dante compatible devices.
• Built-in redundancy with dual locking
power and etherCON network
connectors.
• Supports both coax and optical
interfaces – connect simply to any
MADI equipment
• Slave either the Dante system or
MADI streams to an external clock
• Supports up to 64 channels of
digital audio I/O at standard sample
rates (44.1/48kHz) from a MADI
system, 32 channels at 96kHz and
16 at 192kHz.
• Sample rate conversion (SRC)
on each input and output, allowing
MADI and Dante systems to operate
simultaneously at different
sample rates.
• Simple 1U rack-mount module with
the classic red aluminium faceplate.
• RedNet Control and Dante software
allow remote routing and control
from the audio computer system
via a software control panel – no
hardware patching required.
