BELLINGHAM, WA – Roland Systems Group's S-MADI REAC Bridge, a bi-directional signal converter between MADI and REAC, enables connectivity between Roland's REAC products (M-48 Personal Mixing System) and MADI-equipped digital audio mixers/systems including DiGiCo's SD7, SD8 & SD9 and D Series consoles.
"We appreciate DiGiCo's enthusiasm and support of the S-MADI," said John Broadhead, vice president, Roland Systems Group, referring in part to the efforts of John Stadius, DiGiCo's technical director, who worked with Roland engineers to ensure functionality and interconnectivity with DiGiCo's mixing systems.
"We're pleased that the world of REAC products can now be interconnected with any MADI device," Broadhead added, calling the M-48 Personal Mixing System a "great pairing" with "digital mixing solutions such as what is offered from DiGiCo and their D and SD series consoles."
The Roland S-MADI REAC Bridge was introduced to meet increasing demand for a digital connection between large digital mixing consoles and the M-48 Personal Mixing System and Digital Snakes. It can also distribute or split audio from V-Mixing Systems or Digital Snake systems to outside broadcast trucks and other MADI-equipped locations.
The S-MADI REAC Bridge features include 40 channels of bi-directional conversion between REAC and MADI, MADI coaxial and optical I/O, support for REAC Embedded Power to power M-48 Personal Mixer and/or S-0808 I/O units, support for 44.1/48 kHz with locking to WORD, MADI or REAC clocks and 56 and 64 channel REAC/MADI offset support.
