Using MADI with ATEM Constellation 8K

ATEM Constellation 8K supports digital audio with the MADI protocol, also known as
Multichannel Audio Digital Interface. MADI is popular with most professional audio
manufacturers, broadcasters and high end recording facilities. MADI ports on
ATEM Constellation 8K have robust BNC connectors and transmit audio data over 75 ohm
coaxial cables up to 100 meters long.
ATEM Constellation 8K has BNC connectors for MADI audio, plus 1/4"
TRS connectors for analog audio in and out.
MADI In
MADI channels 1-64 receive digital audio at 24 bit depth with a sampling rate of 48 kHz. These
are connected to an extra 64 channels in the audio mixer that you can mix into the program
output with the same EQ and dynamics as the video input audio mixing channels. These
additional 64 audio inputs mean you can do very complex audio mixing all inside the ATEM
Constellation 8K switcher.
