The Digigram LX-IP MADI is a PCIe card that allows DAWs and other software applications on Windows and Linux computers to interface with RAVENNA, AES67 AoIP, and MADI digital audio networks. Well suited for use in broadcast applications and studio installations, the ultralow-latency card supports up to 64 input and 64 output channels simultaneously via its pair of RJ45 ports and optical MADI connector. Word clock input and output is available via a single BNC connector and configurable via software.
