new MADI-3 - Blade interface WHEATSTONE

The MADI BLADE-3 is a high-density multichannel I/O BLADE for converting a 64-channel MADI input to data streams on the WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network, and converting data streams to 64-channel MADI outputs. With this, you can now ingest into WheatNet-IP audio from any system that utilizes MADI. You don’t need a full blown control surface to use the MADI BLADE-3, either. With WheatNet-IP NAVIGATOR, you can control routing all of your MADI gear in ways that can breathe new life into your existing infrastructure. Or, use our SideBoard control surface to take advantage of the MADI BLADE-3’s built-in utility mixers.

As a bridge to the WheatNet-IP audio network, this 1RU box interfaces to intercom systems, TDM routers, ProTools systems and DAWS that are MADI-capable. It provides 64 bidirectional channels (AES 10) between the WheatNet-IP audio network and a TDM or intercom system over one coaxial cable.

The MADI BLADE-3 uses BNC connectors for coaxial MADI inputs and outputs (1 each), and an SFP (small form-factor pluggable) transceiver slot for fiber connectivity. It has a 1000-base-T (Gigabit) network interface for optimum network QoS and reliability, and includes logic control, onboard utility functions and the dedicated controller that is at the core of its intelligence.

Like all BLADE-3s, the MADI BLADE-3 has its own CPU and operating system, is AES67 compatible, and has two built-in 8x2 stereo mixers as well as a stereo multiband processor with 4-band parametric equalizer, 3-way crossovers, 3 compressors, 3 limiters, and a final, look-ahead limiter. It comes with 12 universal logic (GPIO) ports for interfacing various external switches, indicators and devices for control purposes – as well as 128 software logic ports for routing and controlling devices anywhere on the network.

WheatNet-IP can now put to use audio from any system that utilizes MADI. You don’t need a full blown control surface to use the MADI BLADE-3. With WheatNet-IP NAVIGATOR, you can control routing all of your MADI gear in ways that can breathe new life into your existing infrastructure.
