BBC Northern Ireland (BBCNI) has recently taken a 4HM Madi-Mon to enable it to audition embedded Madi channels while monitoring its new Madi audio router and communications systems.
Madi-Mon operates without the need to connect to external routers or audio consoles – the only Madi monitor that makes all 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.’
The unit was supplied by Aspen Media.
