With over 3000 Dante-compatible products available from hundreds of manufacturers, Dante has become the de facto standard for transporting audio over IP networks. Pro Convert Audio DX can send and receive up to 8 channels of audio in unicast or multicast Dante “flows” (audio streams). In addition to Dante, the device also supports uncompressed audio using the popular NDI media over IP technology, or compressed AAC audio using the low-latency SRT protocol.
By enabling conversion between Dante, NDI, and SRT, Pro Convert Audio DX enables mixed technology local and remote production workflows combining best-of-breed products supporting a variety of standards and formats. It can also encode analog audio into Dante, NDI, or SRT streams as the “entrance” to IP networks, and decode IP audio streams in any of these formats and protocols for analog output. .
