SFP.IO is a single-port MADI module for the PRODIGY Series.
The MADI port connects 64 audio channels of digital input and output signals via an SFP transceiver.
The transceiver is pluggable to the SFP cage and can be exchanged to match the required connection type. E.g. LC optical multi-mode or single mode for optical transmission or HD-BNC for coaxial transmission.
The amount of audio channels is reduced at higher sample rates - 32 channels @ 2 FS or 16 channels @ 4 FS.
The transmission via fibre cable typically allows for long distance connections depending on the fibre mode (up to 2000 m, multi-mode or 10000 m, single mode) and the sender / receiver device.
The fibre modes of transceiver and cabling are required to match.
The transmission via coaxial cable typically allows connections of up to 100 m depending on the quality of the cabling and the sender / receiver device.
Transceiver for optical and coaxial transmission are available from DirectOut as accessory.
The PRODIGY Series offers low latency sample rate conversion (FastSRC™) for input and output.

FAQ
What does the SFP.IO module provide?
The SFP.IO module uses an SFP cage for flexible optical or coaxial MADI connectivity. This allows users to select different SFP transceivers depending on transmission distance and infrastructure requirements.
Which DIRECTOUT platforms support B Slot modules?
B Slot modules are supported by several DIRECTOUT platforms including:
- PRODIGY.MP
- PRODIGY.MC
- PRODIGY.MX
The number of available B Slots depends on the hardware model.
How many channels do DIRECTOUT B Slot modules support?
All DIRECTOUT B Slot modules support up to 64 channels of MADI audio per module, compliant with the AES10 MADI standard.
What is the difference between A Slot and B Slot modules?
A Slot modules support audio networking, USB, and multi-port MADI with higher channel capacities, while B Slot modules are dedicated single-port MADI interfaces with 64-channel operation. B Slot modules are optimized for compact and reliable MADI expansion.
Can B Slot modules be combined with audio network modules?
Yes. DIRECTOUT smart audio platforms allow users to combine B Slot MADI modules with A Slot network audio modules such as Dante, RAVENNA, Milan, and SoundGrid for hybrid audio workflows.
