    Additionally, a MIDI distributor copies one MIDI input signal to three MIDI outputs, removing the need for an external MIDI distributor. The MADI converter is an ideal companion to RME's MADI Bridge. The Bridge's six coaxial inputs and outputs can be converted to optical, a format which is advantageous in live and in- stalled setups, and for longer cable lengths.

    2 km. Single mode allows for much longer distances, but it uses a completely different fibre (8 µm). By the way, due to the wave-length of the light being used (1300 nm), the opti- cal signal is invisible to the human eye. User's Guide MADI Converter © RME...

    MADI Converter travels dou- ble the distance. RME's MADI Converter uses adapted termination and a special equalizing, to reach higher cable lengths despite its simpler design. The MADI Converter can even serve as cable buffer for the limited outpus of some manufacturers (90 meter coaxial instead of 30 meter...).
