Blackmagic Design Fairlight PCIe Audio MADI Upgrade Card

The Blackmagic Design BMD-DV/RFL/AUDAMADI is a MADI upgrade option for Fairlight PCIe audio cards, designed for post-production engineers and audio professionals working within DaVinci Resolve. MADI connectivity supports high-density digital audio routing across consoles, stagebox systems, and outboard gear, making this upgrade relevant for dubbing stages, broadcast facilities, and larger post suites that require more simultaneous audio channels than standard I/O configurations provide.

For integrators and facility engineers building out DaVinci Resolve-based audio workstations, the MADI upgrade extends the capability of existing Fairlight PCIe hardware without requiring a full card replacement. This makes it a practical path for studios scaling up to larger session sizes or consolidating routing from external MADI-equipped devices such as digital mixing consoles or multi-channel converters. The upgrade fits within professional workflows where precise channel management and low-latency digital transport are non-negotiable requirements.
