Focusrite AMS-REDNET-D64R
RedNet D64R provides the link between a Dante Ethernet-based audio system and any MADI / AES10 setup. D64R supports up to 64 channels of both coaxial and optical MADI interfaces and is completely bi-directional, allowing the use of any Dante components including RedNet’s high quality interface products with a MADI system – or MADI components with a Dante system. D64R features a sample rate converter (SRC) on each input and output allowing interfacing between MADI and Dante irrespective of the sample rate at which either system is operating. Connect a Dante network to MADI-based digital consoles, computer cards, converters and much more. In addition to both coax and optical MADI interfaces, RedNet D64R provides Word Clock in and out. The D64R features a rugged, roadworthy exterior and high internal build quality, with Ethernet and power supply redundancy. In addition, it offers a compact 1U rack-mount form factor for a full 64 channels of I/O.
Features
-
Connects a MADI system and a Dante network seamlessly together. Connect Dante to digital mixing consoles, interfaces and cards that use MADI; or extend a MADI system with RedNet’s versatile, superb-quality audio interfaces and connectivity – or any other Dante compatible devices.
-
Built-in redundancy with dual locking power and etherCON network connectors.
-
Supports both coax and optical interfaces – connect simply to any MADI equipment.
-
Slave either the Dante system or MADI streams to an external clock
-
Supports up to 64 channels of digital audio I/O at standard sample rates (44.1/48kHz) from a MADI system, 32 channels at 96kHz and 16 at 192kHz.
-
Sample rate conversion (SRC) on each input and output, allowing MADI and Dante systems to operate simultaneously at different sample rates.
-
Simple 1U rack-mount module with the classic red aluminium faceplate.
-
Comprehensive remote control software with powerful graphic user interface

Front Panel Indicators
|
|
| Primary PSU (A) | Green LED. Illuminates when an AC input is applied and all DC outputs are present. |
| Secondary PSU (B) | Green LED. Illuminates when an AC input is applied and all DC outputs are present. |
| Primary Network | Green LED. Indicates that a network connection is present on primary port when in redundant mode. When in Switched mode, a valid network connection at either Primary or Secondary network port will cause this LED to illuminate. |
