NTP Technology at IBC2015

Two new plug-in cards for the Penta 720 will be introduced at the show. These comprise an eight-channel line level AES3 (AES/EBU) input/output interface (with optional sampling rate conversion) plus a dual MADI input/output. Support for a full 64 channel analogue input/output configuration will be demonstrated.

NTP Technology has also expanded the range of control options available for the Penta 720 which can now be operated via Pro-Bel SW-P and Avid (R) EUCON protocols.

Designed for use in television or radio studios, outside broadcast vehicles and public-event venues, the Penta 720 incorporates a wide range of inputs and outputs to match the various signal distribution protocols currently in use. Standard features include eight AES3 input/output channels, MADI, redundant Dante IP Audio Ethernet in/outs and an interface for Avid Pro Tools (TM). Up to eight optional cards can be incorporated to match specific operational requirements. All cards are hot-swappable. A mini-module slot is available to accommodate a dual SFP MADI optical input/output module. This module is also compliant with the NTP HotLink/Dual MADI format. A dual redundant power supply is available.

Existing plug-in cards for the Penta 720 include an eight-input line-level analogue to digital converter with optional microphone preamplifier; eight output digital to analog converter; and a 3 gigabit/s SDI embedder/de-embedder.
