Emagic Unitor8 MKII

"The Unitor8 is a multi‑port MIDI interface designed for use with either Macintosh or PC computers and combining an 8‑In, 8‑Out format with MIDI merging and patching capabilities, plus SMPTE reading and generation (both the usual LTC Linear Time Code and VITC Vertical Interval Time Code). There's also a Click input that allows the user to input tempo information or send MIDI messages using a footswitch. Multiple Unitor8s may be connected to a single port when more Ins and Outs are needed, and Mac users can connect up to eight units via the modem socket at any one time, and eight more via the printer socket if required."
