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
