UTAH 100/3 MADI Terminal

The UTAH-100/3 MADI Terminal Multiple Audio Digital Interface (MADI, or AES-10) offers a simple and reliable means of audio signal transport for high-density installations in studio and mobile production applications. The terminal functions as a compact, flexible, and cost-effective means of converting audio signals, both analog and digital, to and from the MADI signal format.

 

Each 2-RU frame can house one or two MADI channels, and each channel can carry up to 64 individual audio signals (32 AES or stereo pairs) with full 24-bit, 48KHz resolution.

 

The UTAH-100/3 MADI Terminal frame includes internal power supplies and optional redundancy, with a controller card that accepts a DARS reference signal for synchronizing the audio elements. The frame includes two bays for the installation of MADI card sets. Each card set consists of four cards that provide connection for one MADI stream (in coax or optical format) and 32 AES signals (balanced or unbalanced). Analog card sets are also available, providing A-to-D or D-to-A conversion for 64 mono signals or 32 stereo pairs.

What Our Customers Have To Say About Us

“As a well-known provider of dependable, worry-free routers with the world’s best warranty, Utah Scientific was an easy choice to supply the routers for this value-added solution.”
– Peter Schut, Senior Vice President, Media Infrastructure, EVS
“Based on our ongoing and successful partnership with Utah Scientific, we already have firsthand experience with the company’s engineering excellence, product reliability, and first-rate service and support.”
– Todd Mason, Founder and CEO, BMG (Broadcast Media Group)
“Utah Scientific has outstanding brand recognition in the studio and mobile broadcast markets and a stellar reputation for reliability, longevity, and customer service.”
– Michel Suissa, Managing Director of Professional Solutions, The Studio-B&H
“The new Utah Scientific system has made a huge difference in our production capabilities, allowing us to handle five times the programming output of the old facility.”
– David Finer, Manager, City Channel Pittsburgh
“The first and most important element in our decision to renew with Utah Scientific was our current router's dependability. It ran 24/7, 365 for nine years, with no failures: whether power supply failures or control failures. There was never a need to reboot the router.”
– Craig Jutson, City of San José
“The UTAH-400 was a great choice for the upgrade. Not only does the router come with Utah Scientific’s no-fee, 10-year warranty — unheard of in the broadcast industry — but it’s based on a unique hybrid signal architecture that offers a single platform for all types of signals, including those used in IP networks.”
– Chuck Heffner, Digital Video Group
