It's a hybrid solution for systems where one device connects locally over copper while another sits farther away and needs an isolated fiber link.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo Different MADI Systems From One 3d Unit\u003c\/h3\u003e\nStudios working simultaneously with local MADI gear — a console in the same room, say — and a remote system connected over greater distance usually need two separate expansion cards or two intermediary devices. The 1x Copper\/1x Optical card solves this with a single EdgeBus slot — the copper port handles the nearby connection without needing optical conversion, while the fiber port simultaneously carries a second link over longer distance or to a system requiring galvanic isolation, both running independently and at the same time.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRouting Flexibility Without a Channel-Count Compromise\u003c\/h3\u003e\nDespite combining two different transmission media, the card retains the full 128 channels of I\/O found on the single-medium variants, so the hybrid choice doesn't mean giving up bandwidth. All EdgeCard channels are treated by the 3d unit's routing matrix just like built-in I\/O — available alongside the unit's mic and line channels — which lets a ULN-8 mkIV, for instance, function as a remote-controlled headamp or an additional tracking path for a digital console without routing limitations.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 MADI Copper port and 1 MADI Optical port on one card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e128 audio channels of I\/O total\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth ports operate independently and simultaneously\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTool-free installation into the EdgeBus slot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull access to the unit's audio clocks and power rails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel number: 000-50036\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMADI ports: 1x Copper (BNC), 1x Optical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio channel I\/O: 128 (128 in \/ 128 out)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: all 3d Core-based units (ULN-8, LIO-8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgrade type: field-swappable EdgeBus card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCard detection: automatic by the 3d hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Metric Halo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54336243204433,"sku":"42662","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/MetricHaloMHEdgeCard-MADI_1xCopper_1xOptical.jpg?v=1784569371","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/fr\/products\/metric-halo-mh-edgecard-madi-1x-copper-1x-optical","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
