Focusrite - RedNet A8R

Product Information

RedNet A8R expands Focusrite’s growing range of 1U Dante interfaces with network and power supply redundancy, providing eight channels of analogue input and output.

RedNet A8R expands Focusrite’s growing range of 1U Dante interfaces with network and power supply redundancy, providing eight channels of analogue input and output. RedNet A8R offers high quality 192kHz/24-bit A-D and D-A digital conversion with up to 119dB dynamic range, plus two channels of AES/EBU digital I/O, to and from the Dante network.

RedNet A8R provides 24-bit conversion at 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192kHz sample rates (remotely-selectable) and includes pull-up/down capability. Electronically-balanced analogue audio I/O is provided on DB25 connectors wired to AES59 specifications. Internal signals are balanced throughout. Inputs and outputs are remotely configurable for 0dBFS= +18dBu or +24dBu signal levels. In addition, two channels of AES/EBU I/O are provided on XLR connectors, with sample rate conversion on the input. The clock source for the unit may be internal, or external via Word Clock or DARS (via the XLR input). RedNet A8R also outputs Word Clock.

RedNet A8R features power and network redundancy, with two separate universal (100–240V) PSUs, which include IEC connectors with retaining clips, plus dual network interfaces on locking etherCON connectors. These ports can be configured remotely to Redundant or Switched (daisy-chain) mode.

Profitt

Profitt – PBX-xxD-(12G)

A pair of PBX series devices allows you to implement transmission over a single fiber:

up to 4 x 12 G /3G/HD-SD SDI, ASI signals

AoIP (4 channels of audio, two inputs and two outputs on each side), Dante / AES 67 protocol , Primary / Secondary ports

The Audio to IP Converter ( AoIP ) is designed to connect microphone or line analog audio signals to local Ethernet transmission networks using the Dante protocol or the AES67 standard , for intercom over IP networks and / or for switching audio signals in a network.

An additional Ethernet port provides connection to a secondary ( Secondary ) audio transmission network, and can also be used for cascading devices (Switched).

There are two versions of the device:

models with transport up to 3 G SDI

models with transport up to 12 G SDI ( index -12 G in device code)

To transmit signals over a single fiber, the principle of CWDM (wavelength division) is used in the range of 1470 nm :1570 nm or 1270nm:1410 nm (index ' H ' in the block code). This allows you to organize both one-way and two-way video transmission.

The optical expansion port UPGRADE (1310 nm ) allows the transmission of additional signals transmitted at wavelengths of 1260nm: 1450 nm .

Thus, by connecting through the UPGRADE expansion port the second body ' P roBox ', operating at wavelengths of 1270nm:1410 nm (index ' L' in the block code), it is possible to transmit 8 3G / HD-SD SDI, ASI signals plus implement two independent AoIP lines through one fiber.

Power is supplied from an external adapter 12 V@1000 mA.

Unika

Unika – NBB-0202

The NBB-0202 bi-directionally transmits 2x2 audio to and from Dante audio network. It accepts wide range of signal from MIC to LINE level while its output capability meets the industrial standard up to 24dBu. The NBB-0202 adopts Audinate Dante networking technology for audio transceiving, and is very network friendly with unlimited flexibility in topology of deployment. It supports up to Layer 3 of IEEE 802.3 network standard, enabling you to organize your audio network with the on-the shelf Ethernet switches or to immediately transport streaming audio by taking advantage of your existing installed network facility with no hassle. Even better, every NBB-0202 comes with two Ethernet ports which allow you to physically cascade several NBB-0202s in the same network link. Accompanying with Ethernet switches, this capability helps NBB-0202 gaining flexibility and expanding territory in device deployment in audio networking. Audio routing among each NBB-0202 and all the other Dante-enabled devices is configured via computer with dedicated Dante Controller software which is available free from Audinate website. With Dante Virtual Soundcard software, you are even able to have your DAW software direct record/play stereo streaming audio from/to NBB-0202. The audio input/output interfaces of NBB-0202 are fully met the requirement of professional audio industrial. Audio is encoded/decoded with the latest and uncompressed 24-bit PCM encoder/decoder with sample rate in 44.1KHz, 48KHz, or 96KHz. The NBB-0202 outputs are peculiarly buffered with amplifiers of high-rail-voltage which can drive the lines up to 24dBu. Besides the high-level of drive capability, the output of NBB-0202 can also be attenuated to meet the narrower reception range of inputs of some semi-professional devices. Both inputs of NBB-0202 accept signal of level from mic to line with individual gain and phantom power control. The NBB-0202 is also equipped with a pair of clip indicators for both the inputs to warn audio technician any signal overload on inputs. The NBB-0202 is assembled in a sturdy metal chassis with elegant style of front panel. A set of rackmount kit is included in the package so that you can mount the NBB-0202 in standard 19" rack.

WorkPro

WorkPro – DD4

DD4 devices are gateways used to convert DANTETM (Digital Audio Network Through Ethernet - developed by AUDINATE) protocol. These devices allow the extraction of analog audio signals from the DANTETM network as well as the introduction of analog channels within the same network. DD4 devices are gateways used to convert DANTETM (Digital Audio Network Through Ethernet - developed by AUDINATE) protocol. These devices allow the extraction of analog audio signals from the DANTETM network as well as the introduction of analog channels within the same network. DD4 is a device designed for use in installation, for which the analog inputs and outputs are made through Euroblock 3.5mm connectors. It has balanced inputs and outputs to provide greater immunity to noise that interferes with audio signal lines.
