Page 8: Chapter 1: Overview Introduction
I/O, dual network audio, DSP functions, sample rate conversion and powerful hard- and software. PRODIGY.MP has been designed to address numerous applications in live sound, broadcast, installation and recording, and it’s hardware can be conﬁgured to speciﬁc requirements.
Page 9: Feature Summary
(84 V to 264 V AC / 47 Hz to 63 Hz / safety class 1) * see „Slots - Connecting Audio“ on page 31 for a comprehensive description of the different modules available. Prodigy.MP Manual - Version 2.0 page 9 of 130...
Page 10: How It Works
I/Os with the DSP processing blocks - such as Flex Channels, Matrix Mixer, Summing Busses and Plug-Ins (EQ, Delay, Dynamics). Applications PRODIGY.MP can be used for bidirectional conversion between analog and digital signals, signal processing, signal distribution, conversion between network audio formats, streaming audio, conversion between audio networks and MADI environments, conversion of different MADI signals.
