BLACKBOX BBR64-MADI RECORDER
Capture live multi-channel audio for Performance,
Broadcast, Film & TV Sound applications
The JoeCo BLACKBOX BBR64-MADI RECORDER is based on the award-winning, tried and tested BlackBox Recorder design.
However, rather than being limited to recording 24 channels of audio, the BBR64-MADI is designed to record and replay up to
64 channels of MADI data.
Developed to solve the inherent problems of working with computer-based systems in a live performance environment, the BlackBox
Recorder provides engineers with a computer-free, high-quality solution for multi-channel live audio capture. The BlackBox BBR64-MADI
Recorder can capture the full 64 channels of MADI data at standard sample rates directly to Broadcast WAV files on an external USB2
drive, and yet only occupies one unit of rack space! Double sample rate MADI recording (up to 96kHz) is also accommodated.
The recorder sports both coaxial and optical MADI connections for interfacing with any MADI equipped console or other equipment.
Additionally, the BBR64-MADI caters for 56-channel legacy MADI and can record a further 8 channels of analogue (balanced line in) for
capturing the audience reaction or general ambience.
The BBR64-MADI will lock to the received MADI data stream, as well as locking to or generating word clock. The MADI input can be
echoed direct to the output to ease system integration. The headphone output can monitor the internal mix or PFL individual/pairs of
channels, which are also sent to the hi-resolution meters.
The recorder is designed to be supremely simple to use, requiring just the input and output connections, power and a USB drive before
pressing the RECORD button. A full colour LCD screen and striking LED displays show all the information the recording engineer needs
in order to know what’s happening. The recorder can also be remotely controlled and monitored via JoeCoRemote for iPad.
The BBR64-MADI includes numerous safety features, inherited from the original BlackBox Recorder, to keep your recording as secure as
possible. Safe’n’Sound Record Recovery will recover files even if the power fails in the middle of a recording.
An additional software add-on turns the BBR64-MADI Recorder into a BlackBox Player, enabling synchronous or instant playback of
audio material for various applications.
