16-channel Analog/Dante Converter

DESCRIZIONE

16-channel Analog/Dante Converter

1U size Dante converter with 16 channel analog line inputs/outputs.
Dante protocol is adopted. Supports building highly stable and flexible systems.

ML-16D
ML-16D

"ML-16D" is a compact 1U converter which can convert 16-channel analog line input/output signals into Dante signals. Dante also supports redundancy (primary/secondary). Equipped with D-sub connectors as analog line inputs and outputs. The line-up includes "ML-32D", which can convert 32-channel analog input/output signals to Dante signals, to meet a wide variety of needs.

 

Now compatible with SMPTE ST 2110-30

Dante module firmware V1.2.0.0 now supports SMPTE ST-2110-30, which will enable a smooth IP transmission of PCM digital audio for structuring broadcast systems.

* Audinate's provided Dante Domain Manager (DDM) v1.1 or higher is required for the operation of SMPTE ST 2110-30.
For more information about DDM, please visit Audinate's website.

SMTPE ST 2110
SMPTE ST-2110 is a video and audio IP network standard defined by SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers). SMPTE ST-2110 is designed to separately embed and transmit video, audio, and ancillary signals, reducing the de-embedding processing load and network load of each device, while also enabling users to de-embed only the packet data they desire for further edit. ST-2110-30 realizes IP transmission of PCM digital audio, enabling high-precision synchronization using PTP (IEEE1588-2008) and low-latency transmission. It is expected to become a network standard protocol in next-generation broadcasting systems.
About Dante
Dante is a transmission protocol developed by Audinate. It enables multi-channel transmission (512ch IN/512ch OUT) and word-clock sync with high accuracy via network with gigabit Ethernet standard.

Dante, a network audio protocol, enables building highly stable and flexible systems
Possible to transmit 16-channel analog line input/output signals
ML-16D

"ML-16D" is able to convert up to 16-channel analog line input and output signals into Dante signals.

 

Dante interfaces supporting redundancy (primary/secondary)
ML-16D

Primary and secondary connectors enable building a redundant system with a duplex network. Even when the main line, the primary network route fails, it automatically switches to the spare line, the secondary network route. It is possible to build a highly secure system which does not cause an interruption or noise at all at the time of switching the networks.

 

Flexible routing to connected Dante-compatible devices

Possible to interconnect with AES67 and Ravenna systems
ML-16D

Dante supports AES67, which enables audio connection with systems using AES67 and AES67-compatible protocols including Ravenna.

Equipped with a signal/overload indicator that enables level monitoring of analog input/output signals
ML-16D

The front panel is equipped with a signal/overload indicator that enables monitoring of analog input/output signals. The signal indicator turns on when a signal level becomes lower than -60dBFs.

5 selectable reference levels which can accommodate to a variety of scenes including professional usages, public addresses, and usages in broadcasting studios
ML-16D

It is possible to select a reference level setting from 5 maximum level options: +24dBu, +22dBu, +20dBu, and +18dBu (the standard level is +4dBu) and +15dBu (the standard level is +6dBu), which can accommodate to a variety of purposes including professional usages, usages in broadcasting studios, public addresses, and recording systems.

Breakout boxes that enable flexible choice of connectors according to purposes
ML-16D is equipped with D-sub 25-pin connectors as analog line input/output connectors, and combining with optional breakout boxes enables conversion to Euro Block and XLR.
