Each E-Dante64-HX card provides Eclipse-HX with 64 channels of low latency, high-quality AoIP interconnect. The card supports all standard sample frequencies for professional use, including a 96kHz/32-channel option. Other features include:

  • Dante and AES67 compatibility
  • Primary and Secondary network connections (RJ-45 or fiber)
  • Dynamic update of intercom panel labels from network devices
  • Up to 64 channels per card with a maximum of 7 cards per matrix frame
  • Indicators showing channel quantity, health and sample rate

The E-Dante64-HX card delivers high audio quality interfacing for Eclipse-HX, routing audio to and from multiple sources over standard network infrastructure. It is typically employed to route IFB feeds to/from a mixing console to provide instruction to on-air talent. When needed, the card can be readily used in the broadcast chain offering a high quality and low latency transport.
