RAVENNA and AES67
Using RAVENNA/AES67 audio over IP, the MkIII provides flexible connectivity of audio streams across any network. This makes it compatible with previously available off-the-shelf networking equipment.
Broadcast Standard Compliance
Merging follows the latest in AoIP developments, participating in international showcases and standardisation events. HAPI MkIII complies with the key broadcast requirements for network redundancy and discovery making it a rock-solid choice for your system.
Compatible with standards:
Total remote control
The MkIII can be controlled from any web browser on MAC or PC, giving full access to all interface parameters and complete remote-control of its mic pre-amps.
Synchronise your Network
The MkIII can be synchronized to video input (black burst or trilevel HD), word clock, network (PTP), AES-EBU, ADAT, SPDIF, MADI or internal clock. It can also serve as an AoIP grandmaster (PTP).
MAD and VAD
With the HAPI MkIII users get access to the MAD (Merging Audio Device) and VAD (Virtual Audio Device) drivers. MAD is an all-in-one package that includes an updated multi-ASIO driver that allows different applications to run simultaneously sharing ASIO inputs and outputs. This is combined with compatibility for the official Microsoft WDM (Windows Driver Model) driver, allowing playback from applications such as Spotify, Tidal or YouTube at the same time as the DAW.
Analogue Expansion Cards
Hapi MkIII has space for two world class analogue input and output cards, fitted in blocks of 8, the unit can be customized to suit any studio application. Choose from Standard, 192kHz capable or Premium DXD/DSD capable cards to capture every sound in high quality detail and accuracy.
Both AD cards feature a direct output, which allows analogue mic/line signals to be routed directly after the mic preamp and sent to other devices, effectively functioning as a splitter. Ideal for sending feeds to monitor desks or secondary recording devices.
Note* The Hapi MkIII is only compatible with V3 cards.
The Ultimate Atmos 7.1.4 monitor controller
For Atmos or Spatial mixing combine the HAPI MkIII with Merging’s Anubis for seamless and flexible monitoring of 7.1.4 surround sound systems.
AV Installation with Ovation
Place HAPI MKIII units strategically around any AV installation to harness the flexibility and creativity of Merging’s industry standard multichannel show sequencer.
