Introduction
The Model 207 eSports Console offers a unique combination of
analog and digital audio resources specifically intended to sup
-
port eSports-related live event, entertainment, and streaming
broadcast applications. The unit is housed in a compact, rugged
steel enclosure that’s intended for table-top use. Its diminutive
size also makes it ideal for use in space-constrained locations.
Blue LED lights cast a distinctive “underglow” from the bottom
of the enclosure. The Model 207 supports Dante® audio-over-
Ethernet digital media technology with AES67 compatibility for
integration into contemporary applications. The unit is extremely
simple to deploy, is “pro” quality throughout, and provides an
intuitive user experience. The Model 207’s audio quality is
excellent, with low distortion, low noise, and ample headroom.
Careful circuit design and rugged components ensure long,
reliable operation.
The Model 207 integrates directly into both Dante audio-over-
Ethernet and standard analog audio environments. With just a
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) connection, a broadcast or “gaming”
headset, and a connection to a stereo line-level audio source, a
complete player position can be created.
Model 207 operating features are configured using the STcon
-
troller software application. An extensive set of parameters al
-
lows the unit’s functions to be tailored to meet the needs of many
applications. STcontroller, compatible with version 7 and later of
the Windows® operating system, is a fast and simple means of
confirming and revising the unit’s operating parameters.
Applications
The Model 207 on its own can provide an “all-Dante” solution
for one game player location. The unit’s small size makes it ideal
for live applications where physical space for personnel is very
limited. Four Dante receiver (audio input) channels supply the
user with their talent cue (IFB) signals. Should the cue signal
be “mix-minus” an integrated sidetone function can provide
the user with a microphone confidence signal. Two Dante audio
output channels are associated with a connected headset’s
microphone, one designated as main and the other as talkback.
Two additional Dante outputs have signal sources derived from
the Model 207’s stereo line input. These two audio channels,
typically provided by a personal computer, can also be routed to
the headphone output. The four Dante output (transmitter) chan
-
nels are routed via an associated local area network (LAN) to
inputs on Dante-compatible devices. Two pushbutton switches,
main and talkback, provide the user with direct control over audio
routing. The audio switching is performed in the digital domain
and is virtually “click-free.” Three rotary controls allow the user
to create their own headphone audio mix.
