Weaving audio formats and sample rates into a coherent feed can induce headaches, but the MVR-64 Mk2 Multiverter Digital Format Converter streamlines those conversions with do-it-all tools and new timely mk2 perks. The Multiverter’s core 64-in/64-out converter interfaces your recording gear with virtually any signal source, all with super-low latency for a world-class experience. Broadcast engineers have found the MVR-64 Mk2 to be invaluable, providing instant compatibility for their production truck or OB van, even when using grab bags of seemingly incompatible gear. Appsys designed the MVR-64 Mk2 Multiverter Digital Format Converter to perform under pressure, and pro engineers love how built-in triple-redundant power supplies ensure your backup power has backup power. Additionally, 4-pin XLR-equipped battery packs can also be used as a power source in mobile settings. Extensive remote control options let you steer the MVR-64 Mk2 Multiverter Digital Format Converter via web, USB, Dante, and Telenet — it can even bridge separate Dante networks while performing simultaneous bidirectional sample rate conversions (up to 128 channels using the SRC-64 plug-in module) or serve as a 64-channel Dante interface using the I/O panel’s Ethernet port. Formidable clocking options up the utility and reliability even more with clock dropout protection and ways to use internal or external clocks as your master. You also get an integrated headphone amplifier and a test tone generator for simplified monitoring and troubleshooting. Should you need extended format functionality, there are a myriad of breakout boxes available (sold separately, boasting up to 192 additional channels).

New to Mk2

• Improved routing matrix now offers muscular channel-wise routing/splitting up to 704 x 704
• Enhanced sample rate handling of 44.1kHz to 192kHz
• More preset storage — design and save up to 16 configurations
• Expanded Dante connectivity, including network-to-network bridging

Supported formats

• AES3 (16-channel x 16-channel)
• ADAT (4 channels), SPDIF/AES3 optical
• MADI SFP (up to 2 ports)
• MADI coaxial
• AES50 (up to 2 ports)
• MADI-TP (up to 2 ports)
• Dante
• Up to 192 extra channels (requires Flexiverter breakout boxes connected to the FlexLink port)

Flexible clocking options

The MVR-64 Multiverter Mk2 was designed to work across an endless range of applications, and flexible clocking options keep everything synced and tight. For starters, the unit supports sample rates from 41.1kHz to 192kHz. It accepts both word clock input and output via BNC jacks. You can designate any incoming audio signal, incoming word clock, or the MVR-64's own high-quality internal clock as master. And MADI and ADAT 96k frame and S/MIX operation are supported.

Teeming with useful features

The MVR-64 Multiverter Mk2 is packed with flexible functions that let you speed past common hiccups in record time. You can store and recall presets for 16 different setups. A built-in headphone amplifier facilitates easy monitoring, while a test tone generator simplifies troubleshooting — a must-have for complex rigs. Triple-redundant power supplies provide the extra reliability professional engineers demand. You can power the MVR-64 alone using industry-standard 4-pin XLR-equipped battery packs. You get RME-compliant MIDI embedding/de-embedding from MIDI jacks into MADI streams and transparent forwarding of MADI control data. You're also equipped for HA remote control of your Behringer or Midas stage boxes and have a jumperable pinout for Tascam/Yamaha AES3 and AES50/MADI-TP ports.
