Lightware MX2M-AUX-DANTE-32CH
2 x 16-channel Dante Input and Output Board
MX2M-AUX-DANTE-32CH is a Dante and AES67 compatible input and output board for the MX2M modular matrix family. The hot-swappable IO board is seen as two distinct Dante devices from the Dante network.
Description
Each Dante card can simultaneously send and receive 16 mono audio channels from the Dante network it is connected to via its 1GbE connectors. This makes the board capable of sending and receiving 2 x 16 mono audio channels from the same or different Dante domains with the same or different sampling frequencies.
The received audio is made available to all video and audio outputs over the audio layer of the matrix as LPCM audio streams. Similarly, the audio sent to the Dante network can originate from any of the video or audio inputs of the matrix carrying LPCM audio.
The board supports redundant operation mode where the same stream is received or transmitted over a Primary and a Secondary Ethernet connector.
MX2M-AUX-DANTE-32CH Features
- LPCM audio support
- In-built high-quality ASRC for sampling frequency conversion (from 24-192 kHz to 44.1-96 kHz)
- Redundant operation with distinct Primary and Secondary 1GbE connectors for each Dante device
- The two Dante devices can be connected to the same or different Dante domains
- Simultaneous transmission and reception of 2 x 16 mono audio channels
- Seen as two Dante devices
- Dante Audio over IP and AES67 RTP compliant
- Hot-swap support
