The CDC MC Router provides the routing capability for the MegaCOMMS network. This clever 2U unit currently allows up to 4 MegaCOMMS consoles to be linked to up to 8 MegaCOMMS units within the same audio network. The MC Router can be configured to give up to 3072 channels in one audio network.
It will allow a redundant console to run in parallel with the “live” console and should the “live” console be disabled, the redundant one will step in and ensure that control and audio continues uninterrupted for the remainder of the performance.
The router can also be connected to 8 MegaCOMMS units in the same network. These range from I/O stage boxes to audio network bridges. This means that a number of I/O stage boxes can be placed around a venue feeding the FoH and monitor positions – and redundant consoles – plus via the CDC MC MADI network bridge feed 128 channels to a broadcast truck as well as a DAW via the CDC MC Dante Bridge. All this on 150 meter (492 feet) runs from the CDC MC Router.
