Riedel Communications Presents MADI Card for Artist Digital Matrix at AES 2007

Riedel
Communications, manufacturer of the most advanced fiber-based intercom systems
available, showcased a MADI card for its Artist digital matrix intercom
platform at AES 2007.

MADI
Client Card for Artist Digital Matrix Intercoms

Riedel’s
new MADI Client Card underscores the company’s strategy to advance
communications to a higher degree of integration in the broadcast studio
environment. The new card provides a MADI interface that allows the tight
integration of the Artist intercom platform with digital audio router systems. All
Artist intercom control panels are connected to the matrix via standard AES3
signals.
So instead of laying additional
cables, it is now possible to connect intercom panels to the audio router using
the router’s infrastructure for panel distribution. The MADI card also
furnishes a convenient solution for connecting multichannel audio between the
audio router and the intercom system, saving a significant amount of cabling
and interfacing costs. The MADI-108 G2 client card is cascadable, with each
card adding 8 audio channels to the MADI signal up to a maximum of 64 channels.
The MADI connection from the client card to the audio router occurs via COAX or
fiber cabling.
