As the first device to provide studio engineers with the tools necessary to interrogate the MADI stream in order to view the status of embedded channels, MADI-MON is a suitable monitor for the commissioning and maintenance of MADI-based audio systems. It is the only MADI monitor that makes all of the audio signals visible and accessible as a breakout simultaneously, with the status bits of the MADI stream also available for diagnostic use.
BBCNI chose the MADI-MON because of its ease of use and functionality. One of the unit's key advantages for broadcasters is that if something unexpected occurs within a MADI system, the unit makes diagnostics - and therefore rectification - as fast as possible.
"'Dead air' is the biggest enemy of all broadcasters, so fast and reliable diagnostics are a vital part of the system," says 4HM's Barry Revels. "We are really pleased that an organisation as prestigious as the BBC has put its faith in the MADI-MON, which will help ensure that its audience always enjoys continuous, high quality output."
