Ferrofish Verto MX 64x64 MADI - Dante Converter

About: Ferrofish Verto MX 64x64 MADI - Dante Converter

The VERTO MX is a high-quality solution to connect a wide range of MADI equipment to a Dante/AES67 network with up to 192 kHz. The ultra-compact device is an easy way, to “dantify” an existing MADI live or studio setup with 64 x 64 channel operation. It can also simply turn MADI interfaces, like the RME MADIface series, into Audio-over-IP computer interfaces.

Connected to a Dante network, the VERTO MX is immediately detected with all 128 I/Os and automatically configured. This way every room with a LAN connection can be used for recording or mixing – simply plug the device into the network and start to work.

Besides the two Dante network ports with fail-safe redundancy, the VERTO MX provides two redundant MADI ports. If one line is failing, the other one takes over – automatically, without any noticeable sample or IP packet loss.

The VERTO MX provides an additional Word Clock I/O and MIDI I/O.

Thanks to the small footprint, any VERTO converter fits into mobile setups and can be easily carried for safety’s sake as Dante connection kit for stage boxes or OB Vans. In any case its a huge problem solver for studio and live sound applications: simply plug 64 I/Os to the network. With a common CAT5/6 cable – just like that.

Dante Plug & Play Eco System

The VERTOMX fits directly into scalable network infrastructures of the Dante Eco System. The fabulous Dante control software allows the routing of all channels freely within the network.

Redundant MADI I/O

The VERTOMX provides a coaxial MADI I/O via BNC and optical SFP module with LC connector. The default Multimode module can be exchanged with a Singlemode module (order here).

Remote Control via Network

The VERTOMX can be remotely controlled via the Dante Network. MADI and Dante audio streams can be used to send and receive MIDI messages – embedded in the Dante or MADI signals.

MADI I/O (redundant)

MADI SFP Optical + MADI Coaxial.
Channel count with higher samplerates:
32 channels with up to 96 kHz and 16 channel with up to 192 kHz.
The LC connector connects to SC via an included adapter cable.

MIDI I/O

MADI and Dante data streams can be used to send and receive embedded MIDI messages. A very useful feature, to remotely control MIDI equipment in the studio rack or on stage from the FOH.

WORD CLOCK I/O

BNC with 75 Ohm termination.
Set to on by default – can be changed with the remote software via the network connection.

Dante Network I/O (redundant)

Two RJ-45 ports connect to any Dante audio network. Simply connect a LAN Ethernet cable (CAT5/CAT6) to the primary port. The secondary port takes automatically over in case of a network error (Dante Port Redundancy).
