Modular Approach, Maximum Flexibility
The PRODIGY.MP's I/O includes four local slots for analogue line-level/mic input and AES3 modules. With eight channels per module and interface direction, PRODIGY.MP provides up to 32 local inputs and outputs.
The hardware additionally supports two MADI and two network audio options. MADI slots can be equipped with BNC, SC optical and SFP modules, while network audio boards add Dante, RAVENNA/AES67 or SoundGrid, and increase channel capacity to 416 inputs/420 outputs.
DSP, SR & Sync management
With FPGA-based processing, user-definable processing paths and pick-off points, analog and digital inserts, outputs and summing matrices, PRODIGY.MP boasts very low latency DSP for EQ (FIR and IIR filters), Time Adjust/Delays and Limiters.
The internal DSP reference can be set to Word Clock or Video input, any network/digital input, or internally generated clock.
Sample Rate Converters on AES inputs and free-running MADI and network I/Os are available, allowing simultaneous Media/Format/Sample Rate and Sync conversion, DSP and full routing at up to 192 kHz.
Control Is Key, Multiple Access Locally & Remotely
GlobCon is DirectOut's customisable software platform, offering professional users a powerful and continually evolving tool able to manage any type or size of production environment in a contemporary, flexible, ergonomic and cost-effective way.
Specifically designed to support the professional entertainment and live music industries, GlobCon provides extensive management and control for both point-to-point (e.g. MADI) and audio-networked systems (Dante, Ravenna), with access to matrix mixers, summing busses, and effects like EQ, Dynamics and Delay.
Available for both Mac and PC, globcon is a ”plug and play” solution that allows multiple users to share control of devices using a standard Ethernet infrastructure, enabling large audio networks to be monitored from multiple positions within a venue, arena or any other large-scale production.
The software is available for download from the globCon website, providing integrated control and management of any number of DirectOut devices via an Ethernet network, USB and MIDI ports.
Networked Audio & Seamless Interoperability
PRODIGY.MP’s network audio modules accommodate audio formats including DirectOut’s AES67-compliant RAVENNA stack that supports SMPTE ST2110-30/31 and ST2022-7 for redundant streaming.
With the 64-channel Dante option, the hardware can be a front-end for audio consoles, or a standalone converter, DSP, SRC and routing system.
Waves Audio’s SoundGrid offers extremely low latency, and 128 channels of audio processing for live sound, studio and broadcast.
Waves servers can be connected via SoundGrid for plug-in inserts. Virtual soundcards for macOS and Windows can directly interface with any DAW for multitrack recording and virtual soundchecking.
Secure Operation, Monitoring
Two front panel headphone outputs provide monitoring of any I/O at the device. Two phase-redundant power supplies with separate IEC inlets and AC power switches support hardware redundancy.
An internal switch on the network module also ensures redundancy for the network domain.
While the Dante module supports Dante redundancy, the RAVENNA module offers stream redundancy in accordance with ST2022-7.
EARS (Enhanced Automatic Redundancy Switching) is available for several combinations of inputs.
