DiGiCo X-D2-DI-M D2-RACK: The Ultimate Connectivity Solution for Ambitious Projects
Delivering 96KHz on BNC
Get ready to take your projects to the next level with the D2-Rack! This powerful device leads DiGiCo's digital connectivity with its expandable channel count and high sample rates, providing the firepower you need to succeed.
The compact 9U rack is a workhorse, featuring 48 inputs and 16 outputs as standard. Expand your outputs to 32 by populating the two spare eight-channel output slots with one or more of three available module options: Line out, AES, or Aviom.
Flexibility is key with the D2-Rack. Choose between 48 mic inputs or 24 mic/24 AES/EBU inputs to suit your project's needs.
Dual MADI ports, available in BNC or DiGiCo Cat5e connections, offer incredible possibilities. Share racks at 48kHz between any two SD Series consoles or create digital splits for recording. Combine them for a single high-definition 96kHz MADI connection with no I/O reduction.
Rest easy knowing the D2-Rack comes with dual redundant power supplies as standard, ensuring ultimate reliability.
- • 9U MADI connected high-performance rack
