Hi,

At the present time only one option card can be used at a time in Mix Rack. Now that the MADI card has been released the option to support two simultaneous cards in Mix Rack has become a popular request, so we'll consider this feature for a future release.

Is that the same for the FOH rack as well?

Hi Bill,

The answer depends on what's trying to be achieved. If you want to send the exact same signals simultaneously via both MADI and HDx, this is not supported.

However, FOH Rack does support other cofigs using two option cards, with the signals from Stage 1 (inputs 1-48, plus 16 assignables) available to the first option card, and the signals from Stage 2 (inputs 49-96, plus 16 assignables) available to the second option card. It's just not possible to have Stage 1 signals available to both cards simultaneously at this time.

It would be great if you could figure out a way to offer a redundant tracking option with any card combination!

That is possible, using the Madi card. You need to add an RME madi bridge and use that to split the signal. You can then either use two recorders with madi inputs or if you want to use Pro Tools you can get a couple of SSL madi to TDM boxes. Yes this involves additional expense, but can be relatively cost effective. If Pro Tools is a must but you only want a safety back-up, using a PC running reaper on a RME madi card would save the cost of two SSL convertor boxes.

Regards

Roland

Yep, that's a cool idea. Two HDx cards, two MADI cards, one HDx plus one MADI....lots of possibilities.

Hi everyone,

This is an old thread, so I'm posting an update just so there's no confusion.

With the release of VENUE 2.9 software it is now possible to use an HDx and MADI card at the same time in a Mix Rack, in a mirrored output configuration (i.e., sending the same signals from Mix Rack to HDx or MADI). More details on the software page.
