Sonifex AVN-DIO10 Dante to SDI Embedder & De-Embedder is a Dante to 3G/HD/SD-SDI Embedder/De-Embedder with PoE (Power over Ethernet) and is the easiest way to connect legacy SDI equipment to a Dante or AES67 Audio-over-IP network. The AVN-DIO10 takes an SDI feed, de-embeds the 16 audio channels and places them on channels 1-16 of the Dante network, mapped using Dante Controller. It simultaneously takes 16 input channels mapped to the device on Dante Controller and re-embeds them onto the SDI output. With Primary and Secondary Dante ports, the DIO10 features both power and data redundancy.
Switches on the unit allow embedding of Dante channels onto the SDI output per channel pair and there are two modes of operation: Insert Mode enabled allows embedding to overwrite existing SDI audio selectively per channel pair. Insert Mode disabled clears any incoming audio channels on the SDI output and then allows selective embedding onto the SDI output per channel pair.
The unit also features a test tone mode, a web interface for configuration and detailed status checks.
