Studio Technologies, Inc. Page 7
The dual-channel monaural mode allows
the two Dante input audio channels to
be summed (mixed together) and sent
to both the left and right headphone out-
put channels. And lastly, a unique single-
channel monaural mode is provided for
on-air talent cue applications where a
single-channel earpiece or earbud is being
used. The two Dante audio input channels
are mixed and sent only to the left channel
of the headphone output. No audio signal
is present on the headphone output’s right
channel.
Ethernet Data and PoE
The Model 362 connects to an Ethernet
data network using a standard 100 Mb/s
twisted-pair Ethernet interface. The physi-
cal interconnection is made by way of a
Neutrik® etherCON RJ45 connector. While
compatible with standard RJ45 plugs,
etherCON allows a ruggedized and lock-
ing interconnection for harsh or high-
reliability environments. An LED displays
the status of the network connection.
The Model 362’s operating power is pro-
vided by way of the Ethernet interface us-
ing the 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
standard. This allows fast and efficient
interconnection with the associated data
network. To support PoE power man-
agement, the Model 362’s PoE interface
reports to the power sourcing equipment
(PSE) that it’s a class 1 (very low power)
device. If a PoE-enabled Ethernet port
can’t be provided by the associated Ether-
net switch a low-cost PoE midspan power
injector can be utilized.
Future Capabilities and
Firmware Updating
The Model 362 uses Audinate’s Ultimo™
integrated circuit to implement the Dante
interface. The firmware in this integrated
circuit can be updated via the Ethernet
connection, helping to ensure that its
capabilities remain up to date.
Getting Started
What’s Included
Included in the shipping carton are a
Model 362 Listen-Only Beltpack and a
printed copy of this guide. As a device that
is Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) powered, no
external power source is provided. Should
a PoE midspan power injector be required
it must be purchased separately.
Connections
In this section signal interconnections
will be made using the three connectors
located on the bottom of the Model 362’s
enclosure. An Ethernet data connection
with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) capability
will be made using either a standard RJ45
patch cable or an etherCON protected
RJ45 plug. A set of headphones, a head-
set, or an earpiece will be connected
by way of a ¼-inch or 3.5 mm 2- or
3-conductor plug.
Ethernet Connection with PoE
A 100BASE-TX Ethernet connection that
supports Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) is
required for Model 362 operation. This one
connection will provide both the Ethernet
data interface and power for the Model
