MXnet 1G Evolution II Encoder with Dante

AC-MXNET-1G-DANTE-EV2 adds Dante audio encoding capability to the enhanced video quality of MXnet Evolution II, providing system designers with flexible endpoint options while simultaneously consolidating wiring paths. Installations that systematically deploy Dante audio but segregate it to an independent network can now simplify long-haul transport cabling into single destination endpoint routes. Encoded Dante streams are ferried from the AC-MXNET-1G-DANTE-EV2 to MXnet EVO II Dante-equipped decoder endpoints, using these as break-out bridges to leapfrog encoded signals closer to Dante-enabled amplifiers and potentially aid in occasionally overcoming Audinate’s 100-meter Category cable distance threshold for Dante, while also helping to minimize analog speaker runs. Dante-equipped self-powered speakers may also take advantage of merged centralized stream routes. Imaginative creativity will quickly turn into material and labor savings. Identical to the non-Dante in baseline configuration and technical profile, the AC-MXNET-1G-DANTE-EV2 retains the cool-running, energy-efficient, chip-top fan-free design characteristics of AVPro Edge’s MXNET-1G-EV2 by incorporating Dante I/O software into the operating system chipset, which eliminates the thermal increase from the active device daughter board in previous implementations of Dante across the MXnet ecosystem. The AC-MXNET-1G-DANTE-EV2 and its companion decoder, the AC-MXNET-1G-DANTE-DV2, each securely fit into the same accessory rack holder as standard MXnet EVO II encoders and decoders.
