PatchNet

PatchNet is a digital patching system that uses a MADI routing hub to connect sources
to destinations.

The following Euphonix devices provide a robust and complete I/O interface:
•
The DM714 (AES/EBU-to-MADI) and MD704 (MADI-to-AES/EBU) converters
provide 26 channel inputs and outputs.
•
The AM713 (analog-to-MADI) and MA703 (MADI-to-analog) converters
provide 26 fixed-gain channel inputs and outputs.
•
The ML530 provides 24 remote, variable gain, analog, mic/line preamps that
can be controlled from the Strip.
•
The FC726 provides 56 channels of digital format conversion.
Some equipment, such as the Euphonix R-1, the Sony 3348HR recorder, and some
mid-to-high-end consoles, offer a MADI interface. DAWs can now have a MADI inter-
face installed. Most equipment, however, (i.e., mics, speakers, DAWs that support
AES/EBU vintage gear) must convert to and from MADI using the appropriate Eupho-
nix converter.
PatchNet allows connections between the console and external devices in exactly the
same way as a conventional analog patchbay. The crucial difference is that once a patch
is made it can be saved and recalled with the Title.
