Product Description

Multiverter mkII -

MVR-64 MKII

What the Multiverter can do for you:

Interface your recording gear to any signal source
Make your production truck or OB van compatible to any incoming signal and clock
Sample-rate convert between any interfaces using the SRC-64 plugin module
Dante<>Dante bridging of different networks with optional sample rate conversion (up to 64ch 96k <> 48k bidirectional*)
Use your ethernet port as recording interface with the Dante® Virtual Soundcard technology
Record from any source, and directly from MIDAS®/Behringer® stageboxes with remote headamp control
Bring your legacy gear up to date
...and anything else you can imagine!

* Additional FLX-DANTE / AUX-DANTE required

Channel count

704x704 total (up to 64x64 per interface) in x1 modes
352x352 (up to 32x32 per interface) in x2 modes
176x176 (up to 16x16 per interface) in x4 modes
Multiple conversions (i.e. Dante ⬄ MADI and ADAT ⬄ AES50) with each using the full channel count can run simultaneously.

Sample rates

Latency

The table below shows the overall latency (receive+convert+transmit) between the various interfaces in number of samples.
For x1 modes (32/44.1/48kHz), n is 1.
For x2 modes (64/88.2/96kHz), n is 2.
For x4 modes (128/176.4/192kHz), n is 4.
The Dante latency d depends on the setting in the Dante controller which should be chosen according to the network topology, and can range from 150µs to 5ms.
