Pivitec, based in Bethlehem, PA, says its new e64i/o-MADI 64-channel AVB network interface might be the world’s first AVB to MADI bridge. The Pivitec e64i/o-MADI is a bi-directional interface that utilizes both BNC and SC Multi-Mode Fiber Optic connectors to interface with mixing consoles or any other MADI devices.
More details from Pivitec (www.pivitec.com):
The e64i/o-MADI is compatible with other AVB network interfaces such as Pivitec’s own analog, ADAT & Yamaha MY Card products. The e64i/o-MADI can also be used as a network-recording interface for AVB enabled computers.
“We are really excited about the e64i/o-MADI’s potential for applications in broadcast, live sound and recording” says Pivitec President, Tom Knesel. “For live and studio recording applications, Ethernet AVB provides for a more cost effective interface than Thunderbolt and is plug-and-play with recent Mac computers using the new OS X Mavericks.”
When combined with Pivitec’s e32 Personal Mixer and the visually intuitive V2Mix® Pro control application for iOS, the e64i/o-MADI creates a powerful and flexible networked Personal Monitor System, providing wireless control of 32 discrete channels of audio at the musician’s fingertips.
The e64i/o-MADI is currently available from Pivitec’s worldwide network of authorized distributors and dealers.
