MDMax Studio Infrastructure Switch from Media Links
3.2 Terabit High-Capacity, Non-Blocking Video/Audio/Data Switch
The MDMax™ offers enormous switching capacity for any type of studio infrastructure. By allowing all types of signals to share a single common infrastructure, the MDMax can provide a stable, unified platform for all the many types of signals used in a modern studio – video, audio, voice, real-time data and file transfer. The use of common 10Gbit Ethernet interfaces provides easy adaptation for all of today’s major media signal, and provides a smooth migration path to future types.
Each port on the MDMax supports multiple simultaneous signals, unlike other broadcast switches. Each of these signals can be routed independently and multicast to any combination of outputs through the switch fabric. Capacity of the switch is limited only by bandwidth, not by the total number of signals. This allows a single port to handle up to 5 uncompressed HD signals, or a much larger number of SD, DVB/ASI and other signals. Literally thousands of signals can be controlled and switched through a fully configured MDMax system, far exceeding the capacity of even the largest crosspoint router.
The MDMax connects directly to the MD8000 using either short-reach or long-reach optical transmitters and receivers. Interface cards for HD, SD, DVB/ASI, AES Audio and T1/E1 signals have already been developed, with more to come in the future. Data sources and destinations that are already equipped with 10Gbit Ethernet interfaces can be connected directly to the MDMax.
