Product Overview
DNT Series processors operate as native DanteTM devices to integrate analog and digital network signals in a seamless manner. Analog audio signals are converted to digital signals that are then processed and assigned to Dante network channels. Digital signals from the Dante network are processed in the same manner as analog signals, then sent back into the Dante network or converted to analog for mic/line outputs. The result is seamless integration of analog and digital audio signals into a common network where any signal assigned to a Dante transmit channel is then available at any receiving device connected to the network.
The DNT0212 processor subscribes to channels on a Dante network and delivers them to an internal digital matrix for automatic mixing and processing, and to Dante network transmit channels. In addition, two analog line level inputs are provided for use with local sources audio sources such as voice evacuation announcements. The outputs of the matrix can be assigned to a Dante transmit channel, an analog output and/or routed back to an input to be further mixed and processed with another input channel or matrix mix.
