Optocore launches dedicated Madi switches

Designed to provide its A/V customers with a greater number of technical features and a low cost of ownership, Optocore GmbH has launched the first of a new range of dedicated Madi switches.

The new devices will eventually develop into a complete Madi series of 16-port and eight-port switches, offering 16 x RJ45 ports and eight RJ45 ports. The Madi switches are equipped with two redundant high-speed 2Gbit fibre uplinks, which can carry all 16 Madi streams.

Each Madi port enables 64 in/64 out point-to-point connection, as well as 100Mbit Ethernet — and on the same single Cat-5 cable there are 128 audio channels and 100Mbit Ethernet.

At the same time, the Madi switch enables routing of each individual channel, providing a 512 x 512 matrix for the eight-port switch and 1024 x 1024 for the 16-port.

The new switches are fully compatible with Optocore and Sane – and offer data connectivity to the same level as Optocore FX devices.
