PRODIGY.MX is a multiformat audio matrix with a capacity of 1664 x 1668 audio channels. Interfacing with the whole range of audio protocols offered by DirectOut and powerful DSP functions it addresses numerous applications in broadcast and installation. The hardware is modular and the available licenses are granular - offering to make the best choice to meet your requirements.

Modules - IO

PRODIGY.MX features six A slots and two B slots:

  • A slot - audio network, multi-port MADI or USB - up to 256 channels per module
  • B slot - single-port MADI - 64 channels per module

The channel capacity sums up to 1664 inputs and 1668 outputs which are managed with a channel-based routing matrix.

Multi Format

  • RAVENNA / AES67
  • Dante
  • SoundGrid
  • AVB / MILAN
  • MADI single-port, multi-port
  • USB

Seamless connecting

Bidirectional sample rate conversion connects across clock boundaries:

  • FastSRC operating on the mainframe for the B modules (single-port MADI)
  • HD SRC operating optionally on the corresponding A modules (audio network, multi-port MADI)*

Control is key

Globcon control manages all DirectOut devices via network - either on Mac or PC.
Local display and operation on a touch display facilitates the overview and grants basic control.
Third-party control protocols (Ember+, OSC, SNMP, JSON-API, Lawo HOME) are available as options.

DSP

Signal processing offers gain control of all inputs and outputs and channel groups for comfortable fading.

64 Flex Channels provide signal processing with excellent internal plugins:

  • IIR filter with six instances of selectable filter types
  • Dynamics with four different configurations
  • Delay of up to 262143 samples (= 5461 milliseconds @ 48 kHz)

64 x 64 Matrix Mixer to mix 64 freely assignable sources to 64 busses.

64 Summing Busses, each of which can sum any number of signal sources to a single feed.

AutoMix for automated mixing of different audio signals in up to 16 AutoMix groups to increase intelligibility or to reduce noise

Redundancy

64 Input Managers each managing the signal automatic switch-over between up to six physical inputs.
EARS™ (Enhanced Automatic Redundancy Switching) for automatic fail-over switching of an entire input port to a backup port.

MADI unlocked

New MADI modules for the A slots with two or four MADI ports add extra capacity to the single-port MADI slots (B slots) - Modules' ABC
