ADI-6432R BNC

The ADI-6432R BNC provides 64 channels of format conversion from MADI to AES-3id and vice versa.

Based on RME's highly successful bidirectional MADI-AES/AES-MADI converter ADI-6432, the newly developed ADI-6432R BNC offers broadcasters ease of integration and fail-safe operation through the utilization of industry standard BNC connectors and dual redundant power supplies, while offering 64 channels of I/O capability. The BNC version targets broadcast and professional users who require AES-3id connections - coaxial 75 Ohm cables with up to 300m length.

Typical applications include two ADI-6432R used as digital multicore, or one unit used as AES-3id frontend for the HDSPe MADI card. Up to 192 kHz at 24 bits is supported. Built in 2 height units the ADI-6432R BNC provides enough space for all connectors and control elements. Of course the unit includes lots of typical RME features:

• Support for up to 192 kHz with MADI and AES
• Unique status displays for MADI and AES
• SteadyClock for maximum jitter reduction and clock regeneration
• Completely remote controlable via MIDI
• Transfer of MIDI data via MADI
• Transfer of RS232 data via MADI
• Redundant power supply

AES-3id, an extension to the AES-3 standard also known as AES/EBU, carries the exact same data as the latter, but uses a different cable (75 Ohm unbalanced instead of 110 Ohm balanced) with different connectors (BNC instead of XLR) and lower voltage (1 Vpp instead of 4 Vpp). Therefore, the ADI-6432R BNC has 64 BNC connectors on its back.
