Roland Bi-Directional Signal Converter Between REAC And MADI

The S-MADI REAC Bridge is a bi-directional signal converter between REAC and MADI. This bridge enables connectivity between MADI-equipped digital audio mixers/systems to any REAC-based devices such as the popular M-48 Personal Mixing System, Digital Snakes, V-Mixer Consoles, and Multi-channel Live Recording.

Features:

Bi-directional format conversion between REAC and MADI

BNC and Optical MADI ports

Supports REAC Embedded Power and Split out for connecting and power additional devices (e.g., M-48 Personal Mixer, S-0808)

Support for 44.1/48kHz with WORD, MADI or REAC clocks

Preamp and personal mixing control with S-4000RCS (Remote Control Software)

Bridging REAC with MADI

S-MADI is bi-directional format converter between REAC and MADI. Up to 40x40 channels of digital audio transmission are possible between MADI equipment and REAC products such as the Digital Snake series, V-Mixers, and M-48 Live Personal Mixers. Both BNC and Optical I/O ports are included along with support for 56/64Ch mode. Clock source can be selected from REAC, MADI or Word Clock.

REAC Split Out

The REAC SPLIT OUT port provides an audio signal from REAC or MADI enabling separate monitoring or recording audio signal from the mainstream. The SPLIT OUT supports REAC Embedded Power which supplies both the audio stream as well as the power to an M-48 Live Personal Mixer or S-0808 Digital Snake.

Remote Control

A connected Digital Snake can be controlled using the S-4000R Remote Controller. Using the S-4000RCS dedicated software also enables control of Digital Snake and M-48 Personal Mixing setup and monitoring parameters.

REAC Technology

The REAC (Roland Ethernet Audio Communication) protocol is an industry-proven, low latency, high quality 24 bit/ 96 kHz audio transport protocol used by the S-1608 and S-0816. The REAC protocol allows the Digital Snake's signal to be "split" to as many positions as required such as monitor, broadcast and recording split using the S-4000-SP or any standard gigabit Ethernet switch.

MADI Consoles/Devices

The following is a list of digital consoles, interface and other devices that support MADI so can therefore be used with the S-MADI? opening up the world of REAC products includes M-48 Personal Mixing, Digital Snakes and Multi-channel recording.
