DiGiCo CAT5

Purple Box is a CAT5/MADI to optical convertor. It is capable of taking either a CAT5 connection from a DiGiCo SD console or D-Rack, or a MADI connection from an SD console, SD-Rack or other MADI device and convert it for optical transmission, or vice versa. Purple Box allows two MADI or D-Rack streams, or combination of the two.
