LYNX Technik AG, provider of modular interfaces for broadcast and professional AV signal processing applications, announces the launch of its three new MADI fiber optical to MADI coaxial converters & transceivers at NAB 2016.
   

MADI (Multichannel Audio Digital Interface) is a bi-directional protocol that transmits multi-channel audio over coax or fiber optic lines. MADI is commonly used on today's digital multi-track recorders, digital live sound mixers, and digital performance systems that utilize multi-track technology.

LYNX Technik’s three new yellobriks for MADI allow for the transmission and extension of audio over long distances. They perform very long cable runs in real-time with zero degradation of signal quality – up to 10 Km (6.2 miles) with the standard fiber models, and up to 40 Km (24.8 miles) with the CWDM fiber model.

These compact and cost-effective modules are designed to convert up to 64 audio channels bi-directionally (64 IN and 64 OUT) between MADI Optical and MADI Coaxial (electrical) formats.

The three new models include: 

• Bi-Directional MADI Optical to Coax Converter / Transceiver Pair (Model No. OBD 1210)
• MADI Optical to Coax Converter Transceiver that combines a fiber transmitter and receiver in a single package (Model No. OTR 1210 / OTR 1210 MM - multi-mode)
• MADI Optical to Coax Converter / Transceiver for CWDM wavelengths (Model No. OTR 1240)
• As with all yellobrik’s these modules are hot swappable and rack mountable on the yellobrik RFR 1000 1RI rack frame.

The new yellobrik MADI fiber to coax converters are available now.
