PRODIGY.MCDirectOut‘s PRODIGY.MC is a modular audio converter, designed to address numerous applications in live sound, broadcast, installation and recording, using a single hardware frame.Fully modular, it can be confi gured to specifi c requirements, giving budget savings as well as the fl exibility to address changes in the global media environment through future upgrades.

Modular Approach, Maximum FlexibilityI/O includes eight local slots for analog line-level/mic input and AES3 modules. With eight channels per module, PRODIGY.MC provides up to 64 local inputs and outputs. The hardware additionally supports two MADI and one network audio option. MADI slots can be equipped with BNC, SC optical and SFP modules, while the network audio board adds Dante, RAVENNA/AES67 or SoundGrid. The channel capacity sums up to 320 inputs and 324 outputs which are managed with a channel-based routing matrix.

Networked Audio & Seamless Interoperability The network audio module is designed to accommodate different formats in order to meet present and future require-ments in various applications.

The newly designed RAVENNA module complies with AES67, ST 2110-30/31, and supports all ST 2022-7 classes. As a successful participant of the JT-NM Tested program PRODIGY.MC is listed in the JT-NM Tested Catalog as a device aligning with the SMPTE 2110 standards.

With the Dante option, the hardware can be a front-end for audio consoles, or a standalone converter and routing system. Waves Audio’s SoundGrid offers extremely low latency audio transport and allows Waves servers to be connected for plug-in inserts.

Virtual soundcards for macOS® and Windows® can directly interface with any DAW for multitrack recording and virtual sound-checking.

Safe Operation, MonitoringTwo headphone outputs provide local monitoring of any I/O.

Two phase-redundant power supplies grant seamless opera-tion of the device. An internal switch on the network module ensures redundancy for the network domain.

While the Dante module supports Dante redundancy, the RAVENNA module offers stream redundancy in accordance with ST 2022-7.

EARS (Enhanced Automatic Redundancy Switching) is availa-ble for several combinations of inputs. EARS is a system to prevent interruption of the output signal. It uses either the proven BLDS™ technology or pilot tone triggering.

The BLDS™ Generator can be patched as virtual source in the Matrix and provides monitoring of connections with auto-matic fail-over switching.

An internal LTC reader displays incoming linear timecode on the touchscreen or via the globcon control software where it can be used to trigger any action.

Control Is Key globcon* remote control, a browser-based GUI, and a front panel touch display ensure ultimate usability.globcon software offers full control of multiple pieces of equipment in Mac/PC/Linux-based systems and featu-res a comprehensive snapshot management with selec-tive recall scope-sets.It also supports trigger management which includes OSC and MIDI for control e.g. from a tablet device.Automated surveillance and red-light control are possible through GPIOs. A USB port on the rear panel offers connection and control of legacy devices via globcon bridge.
