The Model 5482 Dante Bridge provides a high-performance means of interconnecting ("bridging") Dante® audio-over-Ethernet channels associated with two independent local-area-networks (LANs) or Dante domains. The unit is compatible with the Dante Domain Manager™ (DDM) software application and is complaint with the AES67 technical standard. The Model 5482 is available in two versions: the Model 5482-01 allows up to 32 audio channels to pass in each direction, while the Model 5482-02 allows up to 64 audio channels. Internal sample rate conversion (SRC) capability provides sample rate, bit-depth, and timing conversion to ensure that audio signal integrity is maintained.
Key Features
Dante audio-over-Ethernet technology with AES67 and DDM support
Two versions available: one with up to 32 channels and one with up to 64 channels in each direction
44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz sample rate support
Integrated Sample-Rate-Conversion (SRC) capability
Multiple Gigabit Ethernet interfaces allow Switched or Redundant Dante operation
AC mains and DC powering
Multiple status LEDs and graphics display
