Any Signal Anywhere

The VADIS system is a versatile hardware routing system for
all audio applications

Processing - Routing - Distribution

For the most reliable audio engine for routing, processing and format conversion, choose a VADIS router from Qphonics. As proven by more than 2000 installations worldwide, VADIS router technology is the industry leader. It is the first choice for standard solutions as well as complex and customized audio networks.

 

• Optimized share technical resources
  between studios
• Powerful DSP technology
• Reduced wiring cost by using centralized wiring
  and fiber-optic technology
• Improved station efficiency and productivity
• Easy and effective updating and reconfiguration

 

The VADIS router family comes along with improved aesthetics, an enhanced front panel display to provide more information in a clearly arranged manner and a fan less power supply units (PSUs) for absolute silent operation.

VADIS at a Glance:

• TDM bus technology (linear audio)
• Simple operable user interfaces
• Loss-free signal transmission
• Optimum operational reliability
• Separate control and audio network
• Interfacing to 3rd party systems

VADIS 212

Digital Router and DSP Engine

The VADIS 212 is a multi-faceted digital audio router, which uses the VADIS technology of modular architecture and freely assignable slots. It also offers fiber-optic audio networking to reduce wiring costs.

The VADIS 212 can be easily adapted to each customer’s requirements and can grow with the user’s needs. There is simply no better solution for an application requiring any signal available anywhere.

Main Features

• 19” rack mount housing - 3RU
• Powered by an integrated fan less PSU
• Expandable with an additional PSU for redundancy
• 10 slots for VADIS plug-in cards
• Battery-buffered RAM
• Hot-swap function for the exchange of plug-in cards during operation
• 8 GPI inputs and outputs
• Ethernet interface for service and control purposes
• Connectors for clock signal input/output
• Connector for AES/EBU sync input
• 24 bit digital audio
• Internal Watchdog monitors system

Depending on router type:

• Internal controller 3 CMI interfaces for the connection of control modules
  (e.g. AEON console, router panels, etc.)
• Connector for VGA display

VADIS 888

The most reliable Audio Engine

Growing with your needs. If you think you will like the VADIS routers only for their conventional routing capabilities, think again. VADIS routers are the core of Qphonics’s audio media and control network and they are the most reliable digital audio engines for routing, processing and format conversion.
VADIS 888 offers a solution for even the most varied user requirements in terms of audio/video and other media.

• Modular design
• Easily expandable
• Open architecture
• Universal applications
• Capable features
• Optimum operation reliability

Main Features

• 19” rack mount housing (4RU)
• Powered by an integrated fan less PSU
• Expandable with an additional PSU for redundancy
• Expandable with an additional synchronization module for redundancy
• 21 slots for VADIS plug-in cards
• Hot-swap function for the exchange of the PSU and the plug-in cards during operation
• Display and LED's to indicate states, errors and annoyances concerning the frame,
  the PSU(s) and the plug-in cards
• Battery-buffered RAM
• 8 GPI inputs and outputs
• Ethernet interface for service and control purposes
• Connectors for clock signal input/output
• Connector for AES/EBU sync input
• 24 bit digital audio
• Video sync card [only VADIS 884]

 

GPI's

The general purpose interface (GPI) is a control signal interface between the VADIS system and external equipment.

The GPI has 2 functions:

• Control of external equipment by the VADIS system
• Control of the VADIS system by external equipment

 

General Purpose Interface Boxes

GPI 16

• 16 inputs and 16 outputs
• Daisy-chain connected via CMI Bus interface of VADIS Engine
• External PSU

GPI 32

• 32 inputs and 32 outputs
• Connected via Ethernet
• Integrated PSU

The configuration of the control signal in- and outputs of the GPI is made in the VADIS software to customer‘s specifications. This also includes the configuration of the trigger characteristics of the control signals. So input signals can be defined either edge positive or edge negative. Output signals can be latched or pulsed with a length between 110 ms and 800 ms.

Routing Panels

Qphonics’s RCP's (Routing Control Panels) are the ideal solution for fast and easy control of any VADIS router. They suit any type of router application, whether you need a single X-Y control panel or a more sophisticated multi panel control network. Qphonics has the RCP to fit your exact requirements.

A large variety of applications:

• Radio and TV broadcast studios, control rooms and equipment rooms
     - usage with Qphonics consoles such as XENON / AEON
     - usage with any 3rd party console
• Recording studios
• Multimedia and sound reinforcement
• Conference centers
• Theatres

The easy and intuitive design with clearly positioned control elements facilitates fast and
error-free operations.

RCP advantages:

• Ideally suited for audio source selection and routing
• Separate selection of sources and destinations (X-Y router)
• Single or multichannel (grouped) routing
• Routing status check function
• Clearly legible 12 character alphanumerical displays
• Individual push button labeling behind transparent lens cover
• Easy configuration through dedicated software, running on standard PC
• Easy cabling - standard CAT5 cable
• CMI Bus ( Digital Control Bus)
     - Allows power via bus
     - Allows daisy chain installation of up to 15 control units per bus
• No external power supply required, powering via CMI bus possible

Your benefits:

• Saves installation times and cost
• Easy to reconfigure / re-legend
• Easy remote control of router sources from anywhere
