1. Long transmission distances The fibre cable option for MADI allows for transmission distances of several kilometres There are many applications where long distance audio transmission can be useful outside broadcast venues multi room production facilities live venues etc MADI in modern surround sound production systems Surround sound productions demand large amounts of audio processing transmission and storage and MADI is a highly suitable technology for the modern surround sound studio The increase in the amount of processing and signal management 15 far beyond the need to triple the number of output channels from a two channel stereo master to the 6 channel 5 1 Master output Studios often need to simultaneously produce 5 1 LCRS and stereo outputs and classical film style product often specify multiple surround sound Stem outputs Sample accuracy is particularly important in matrixed surround sound production systems where any bit slip can cause serious audio problems with various surround encoders In particular MADI can be used to transmit one of the most demanding audio mastering formats specified for DVD V which is 5 1 surround sound sampled at 96kHz MADI is being used to transmit digitised microphone signals for a stage box to a theatre s mixing console multi channel link between a mixing console and multi track recorder transmission format in large scale digital audio routing systems The2.

16. pny MADI can be used to transmit higher sampling rate audio signals 96 kHz there are two alternate methods specified for higher sample rate In both methods the number of audio channels is reduced therefore 26 mono 96 kHz audio channels can be transmitted by MADI Why is MADI important There are many factors driving the importance of MADI in modern production systems These factors include the overall growth in the use of digital audio equipment the ever increasing demand for larger productions and the requirements of surround sound processing MADI is an attractive technology as it provides the simplest method of transmitting sample accurate audio channels over distances between a few metres and several kilometres Sound quality MADI has low jitter and is a sample accurate format thus ensuring the maximum sound quality is retained in a digital audio production system Low installation costs and rationalised system design provides a smart and low method of transmitting audio channels compared to the traditional method of using analogue multi cores The MADI user can benefit from cost savings and lower maintenance Some manufacturers provide MADI equipment with remote controlled microphone amplifiers and digital routing often controlled by a PC application These integrated systems often further rationalisation of audio routing system for example instant re call of patching 7 SE
