The Ferrofish VERTOpro MX is a highly flexible format converter and routing hub designed for demanding studio, broadcast, and live environments. Thanks to its extensive range of interfaces, intuitive front-panel operation via a crystal-clear color display, and modern network audio connectivity, the system integrates seamlessly into professional digital setups.

The system offers maximum digital connectivity with up to 128 × 128 MADI channels at 48 kHz and 64 × 64 Dante channels, including AES67 support. It also supports secure redundant or switched network operation. The two MADI ports enable dual MADI streams, redundant connections, and direct cross-routing between MADI and Dante at sample rates of up to 192 kHz.

Control is direct and intuitive via the 3-inch IPS color display on the front panel. It displays level meters, routing, clocking, and device status in real time. A flexible routing matrix is available for signal management, allowing both fast 8-channel block routing and precise single-channel routing. The front-panel headphone monitoring allows any digital input or output signal to be monitored directly without affecting the existing routing.

Practical features such as eight internal preset slots, a device lock to prevent accidental changes, and comprehensive remote control via the RemoteFish software (Windows/macOS) using USB-C or MIDI Control Change commands are also included.

The VERTOpro can be configured directly via the front panel. The high-resolution, 3-inch, IPS color display shows level meters, time, interface status, routing information, and device configuration access.

The internal routing matrix allows signals to be freely routed between Dante, ADAT, and, when the optional MADI function is enabled, MADI. Routing can be performed quickly in blocks of eight channels or individually per channel.
