Studio Technologies, Inc. Model 5422A Dante Intercom Audio Engine, Issue 1, Page 5
Model 5422A Specifications
Applications:
Designed to create multiple party-line (PL) circuits in Dante audio-
over-IP environments. Also provides functions for use in Remote
Integration (REMI) and At-Home production applications. This
includes summing (mixing) of audio channels, IFB (talent cue-
ing) creation, and audio switching functions for general-purpose
applications. Special Dante pass-thru mode allows flow-limited
and non-AES67-compliant Dante devices to participate in more
advanced applications. Auto Mix capability can be selected for use
in party-line and summing operating modes.
Versions Available:
Model 5422A-01: one 32-channel Dante audio engine
Model 5422A-02: two 32-channel Dante audio engines
(64 channels total)
