DirectOut has announced the new EXBOX.SG interface and SG.IO module, both compatible with Waves SoundGrid audio networking technology and designed to serve applications ranging from live sound to recording to broadcast.
Housed in 1/3 of a 19-inch frame, EXBOX.SG allows up to 128 SoundGrid channels to be routed in blocks of 64 channels towards any of the three MADI ports of the device (coaxial BNC, optical SC and SFP). At the same time, it also works the other way around: two MADI ports can be routed towards SoundGrid for conversion of another 128 channels.
EXBOX.SG can be powered by up to two external power-supplies as well as PoE (Power over Ethernet). Four network ports are linked to an internal switch and can be used to connect directly to redundant recording systems and plugin servers without the need of an additional switch.
The SG.IO module is available for the company’s PRODIGY Series that’s designed to offer low0latency transport of up to 128 audio channels. It comes also with the optional HD SRC technology, enabling asynchronous operation between the module and the PRODIGY mainframe.
