The Merging Technologies HAPI MADI128V3 is an advanced expansion card designed to double the MADI channel capacity of the HAPI MkIII, offering up to 128 inputs and 128 outputs at 1FS, equipped with two Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) cages for optical or coaxial transmission, delivering high-resolution audio with sampling rates up to 384 kHz, 24-bit resolution, and full compliance with the AES10-1991 MADI standard.

Enhanced Channel Capacity and Versatility

The MADI128V3 expansion card significantly enhances the audio interface capabilities of the HAPI MkIII by doubling its MADI channel count to a total of 128 discrete input and output channels at 1FS. This expansion allows for extensive connectivity and flexibility in demanding professional audio environments, where high-channel counts are essential for seamless integration and performance.

SFP Cage Integration for Flexible Transmission

Equipped with two SFP cage slots, the MADI128V3 supports modular connectivity through suitable SFP transceivers. These slots accommodate either optical transceivers (multi-mode or single-mode) for fibre-optic connections or mini BNC modules for coaxial transmission. However, users must acquire these SFP transceivers separately, ensuring they select the appropriate module for their specific application.

High-Quality Audio Performance

The MADI128V3 delivers pristine audio quality with support for sampling rates up to 384 kHz and 24-bit resolution. This level of precision guarantees exceptional sound clarity and dynamic range, meeting the highest standards required in professional recording, mixing, and broadcasting workflows.

Compliance with Industry Standards

Fully compliant with the AES10-1991 MADI standard, the MADI128V3 ensures reliable and consistent digital audio transmission across systems. This compliance enhances compatibility with a wide range of professional audio equipment, enabling seamless integration into existing workflows.

Robust Connectivity with Dual Coaxial I/O

The card features two pairs of MADI coaxial inputs and outputs, utilising four BNC connectors for robust and dependable signal transmission. This configuration offers flexibility for setups requiring coaxial connections while maintaining the integrity of high-bandwidth audio signals.

The Merging Technologies HAPI MADI128V3 stands as an essential upgrade for audio professionals seeking expanded channel capacity, exceptional sound quality, and versatile connectivity options for their HAPI MkIII systems.
