There are over 150 manufacturers that design Dante compatible
equipment. In this example, the broadcaster has an established
Dante® network. This is most likely to be an audio console, or an
intercom system.
The broadcaster needs to expand the network by adding an
existing commentary booth / voice over position. Using the
AoIP22, the commentary position can be added to the existing
Dante® network very cost effectively.
The AoIP22 is located in the commentary booth, and connected
into the broadcast network via a single CAT5/6 cable.
The Glensound GS-CU008A is a popular and widely used
commentary unit by broadcasters. It provides a programme
output, and has a talkback outputs These connect to the inputs
of the AoIP22 via XLR connections.
The AoIP22 outputs connect to the headphone monitoring
inputs on the GS-CU008A via XLR. This allows the commentator
to hear 2 audio channels. These are typically the programme
audio, and talkback return.
The audio routing can be configured via the Dante® Controller
software. Simply run Dante® Controller on any PC connected to
the network. All available sources and destinations will be shown
on the AoIP22, and all other Dante® compatible devices on the
network. Click the check boxes to route the audio in the desired
directions, and the system is now ready to be used.
Audio routing only needs to be configured by Dante® Controller
on the first time the AoIP22 is connected to the network as all
routes are stored locally on the device.
Any Dante audio network, with compatible
device from manufacturers like:
RTS
Stagetec
Calrec
Digico
SSL

and over 150 more.
