status of the connected Ethernet signal. No pushbutton or
configuration switches are provided. The Studio Technolo-
gies’ STcontroller software application is used to configure
the unit’s operating parameters.
Ethernet Data and Power Source
The Model 5421 interconnects with a local-area-network
(LAN) using a standard Gigabit (1000 Mb/s) twisted-pair
Ethernet signal. The physical connection is made by way
of a RJ45 receptacle. The Model 5421’s operating power
is provided by a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)-compliant
Ethernet signal. For network management purposes the
unit’s Ethernet interface will report to the power sourcing
equipment (PSE) that it’s a class 2 (low power) powered
device (PD).
Simple Installation
The Model 5421 is housed in a rugged, lightweight alumi-
num enclosure that is designed to be “field tough.” It can
be used as a standalone portable unit, supporting what’s
known in the broadcast world as “throw-down” applications.

Or it also can be directly placed upon on a rack-shelf or
other flat surface. Optional rack-mount installation kits
are available to allow one or two units to be mounted in
one space (1U) of a standard 19-inch rack enclosure. As
previously mentioned, the Model 5421 uses a standard
RJ45 connector to allow fast and convenient intercon
-
nection. Operation will commence as soon as a Gigabit
Ethernet signal with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) capability
is connected.
Future Capabilities and Firmware
Updating
The Model 5421 was designed so that its performance and
capabilities can be enhanced in the future. A USB type A
connector, accessible on the unit’s back panel, allows the
main firmware (embedded software) to be updated using a
standard USB flash drive. To implement its Dante interface
the Model 5421 uses Audinate’s Broadway™ integrated cir
-
cuit. The firmware in this integrated circuit can be updated
via the unit’s Ethernet interface, helping to ensure that the
Dante performance remains up to date.
