Metric Halo MH EdgeCard - MADI (4x Copper) — an EdgeBus expansion card adding four MADI Copper ports and 256 channels of I/O total to any 3d-based unit.
The card occupies the single EdgeBus slot present on every 3d-based unit and brings in four independent MADI links over copper cable, each carrying the standard 64 or 56 channels depending on operating mode. It suits systems that need to talk to a large number of external digital channels without routing through slower formats like ADAT or AES.
256 Channels Instead of Multiple Individual Digital Links
Large studio installations or live recording systems tying together several converter racks usually need either multiple AES/ADAT cards per unit or a separate MADI router sitting between devices. The 4x MADI Copper card concentrates that function into one EdgeBus slot, delivering 256 channels of input and output across four ports — enough to connect one 3d unit directly to several digital consoles, converter arrays, or other MADI-equipped gear without an intermediate router.Copper MADI Where Simple Cabling Matters
Unlike optical variants, MADI over copper on BNC connectors needs no fiber runs or optical-to-electrical converters, simplifying installation in racks where distances between devices are short and the priority is a fast, reliable connection without extra components that can fail. The card installs tool-free directly into the EdgeBus slot, and the hardware automatically detects the installed module type and exposes the channels in the 3d unit's routing matrix.KEY FEATURES
