German manufacturer and MADI specialist, DirectOut Technologies was pleased to
launch brand new remote software for their MADI analyzer and signal generator,
ANNA-LISA, at the recent IBC show in Amsterdam.
ANNA-LISA is a handheld device with a simple traffic light style LED Go/No Go
indication. It is equipped with two MADI I/Os; a coaxial BNC port and an SFP cage
for single mode or multimode transceivers. It is compatible with all MADI formats
and checks for AES10 conformity, sample rate, format, signal amplitude and jitter.
The onboard generator has three presets for different test signals.
The newly-launched remote software, which is available as an app for ANDROID™
devices and connected via Bluetooth, offers a significantly enhanced feature set for
ANNA-LISA users. Functions include advanced analysis of signal parameters
including amplitude and jitter measurement; monitoring of AES3 channel state; bit
scope for monitoring audio and subframe data; 128 channel level meter and output
gain adjustment; and finally, a channel-based routing matrix for both MADI I/Os and
all signal generator presets.
DirectOut managing director Stephan Flock remarked, “I’m delighted with the
extremely positive feedback that we’re getting for the ANNA-LISA remote app. Our
only regret is that we weren’t able to bring it out sooner, but our users all agree
that the even more comprehensive analysis tools provided by the software were
worth the wait.’
The app is downloadable either from www.directout.eu or the Google Play store.
The development of an app for iOS has already started.
