Bridging REAC with MADI

S-MADI is bi-directional format converter between REAC and MADI. Up to 40x40 channels of digital audio
transmission is possible between MADI equipment and RE AC products such as the Digital Snake series,
V-Mixers, and M-48 Live Personal Mixers. Both BNC and Optical I/O ports are included along with support for
56/64Ch mode. Clock source can be selected from REAC, MADI or Word Clock.

REAC SPLIT OUT

The REAC SPLIT OUT por t provides audio signal from REAC or MADI enabling a separate monitoring or
recording audio signal from the main stream. The SPLIT OUT supports REAC Embedded Power which supplies
both the audio stream as well as power to a M-48 Live Personal Mixer or S-0808 Digital Snake.

Remote Control

A connected Digital Snake can be controlled using the S-4000R Remote Controller. Using the S-4000RCS
dedicated software also enables control of Digital Snake and M-48 Personal Mixing setup and monitoring
parameters.
