How it works

All modules inserted into the mainframe offer a variety of inputs and outputs that
are managed by an internal routing matrix.
There are eight converter slots equipped with eight channels per module and
interface direction for conversion of up to 64 audio channels. Combined with the
audio network, two MADI options and the headphones outputs the maximum
channel capacity of the device increases to 320 inputs and 324 outputs.

Applications

PRODIGY.MC can be used for bidirectional conversion between analog and digital
signals, signal distribution, streaming audio, conversion between audio networks
and MADI environments, conversion of different MADI signals.
Typical applications include:
• stagebox for recording with 64 channels mic input, 64 returns
• stream generator
• stream monitoring (headphones)
• format conversion of a MADI signal (SFP <> SC <> BNC)
• signal distribution (routing matrix)
