Linea Research – Dante Bridge

The Dante Bridge allows several different classes of audio product to be seamlessly integrated into Dante systems with the minimum of fuss. Analogue outputs allow the Bridge to be used with products which have analogue inputs. 

The Dante Bridge allows several different classes of audio product to be seamlessly integrated into Dante systems with the minimum of fuss. Analogue outputs allow the Bridge to be used with products which have analogue inputs. The AES3 output allows the Bridge to be used with products which have an AES3 input. The BvNet connection also allows equipment which has a BvNet control interface to be controlled over an Ethernet network, to which the PodWare application will connect directly.

• Two analog outputs
• AES3 output
• Ethernet control for BvNet products
• Rugged steel enclosure
• Free-standing or rack-mount options
• Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
• Optional power by companion PSU

The control data within Dante is bidirectional, and can flow from the Dante network to a BvNet device and vice-versa. Similarly, digital audio channels within the Dante network can be routed to the BvNet socket, so that the AES3 signal is conveniently available on the BvNet network, where it can be brokenout using a special cable for use as an AES3 feed. The same audio channels are also available on analog outputs for use with any devices with analogue inputs.
