BRIO
Customised pristine audio delivery
Just as the console itself is scaled to match your precise requirements, the IO options for your C100 can be customised to give you exactly the audio connectivity that you need, with local IO provided by BRIO racks, and MORSE stageboxes supplying feeds from the studio floor.
The BRIO rack connects to the Blackrock processor using MADI over fibre-optic cable, protecting the audio from interference and degradation so that it reaches the console in pristine condition, even in the harshest environments. Control data embedded in the fibre-optic cabling enables remote control of IO parameters (such as analogue pre-amps) from the console, as well as SNMP diagnostics.
The BRIO rack has capacity for 5 audio cards, mixed and matched to provide the number of analogue and digital inputs and outputs you require, providing up to 256 channels of local IO, all via a tidy 7U chassis racked with your Blackrock. The three card formats available for the BRIO are:
- The mic/line input card, offering 12 inputs with high quality analogue pre-amps and 24 bit analogue conversion
- The line IO card, offering 24 analogue inputs and outputs, with high quality 24 bit analogue conversion
- The AES IO card, offering 64 digital inputs and outputs (32 pairs), with high quality 24 bit sample rate conversion
The BRIO comes with temperature-controlled fan cooling and redundant PSU as standard, with MADI links configurable to provide fibre-optic redundancy.
