Connect everything
We translate our approach of maximum flexibility and modularity to the I/O side of the DHD system. We support the latest industry standards for audio signal exchange – everthing from standard analogue and digital interfaces over different multichannel solutions to completely IP-based audio networks.
Together with our well-established control signal interfaces you have all options to integrate the DHD products into your preferred infrastructure. You are not limited to a fixed amount of connections, but can add as many I/O boxes to the DHD system as required.
Audio-over-IP versatility
For advanced flexibility in device connectivity, each DHD Series 52 Core can be equipped with a XC2 AES67 RAVENNA Interface (52-7067A). Also Dante™ Audio-over-IP interfaces (52-7080A, 52-7180A) are available. With those you can use up to 64 channels of uncompressed bidirectional audio to connect to almost any other Audio-over-IP device like codecs or signal processors via a standard ethernet network.
And by the way – all 52/XC2 and 52/XS2 cores already include a 4ch-in and 4ch-out Dante™ interface.
Multichannel audio
Transmit dozens of signals over one single cable with the following solutions:
- MADI/AES10 with 56/64 channels over fibre-optic cable
- 3G/HD/SD SDI with 2×8 channels over coaxial cable
- DHD APC with 48 channels over standard CAT5 cable
- DHD Gigabit Audio with 512 channels over fibre-optic cable
Analogue and digital audio I/Os
Our high-quality digital and analogue modules allow you to connect your devices with classical I/Os:
- Digital AES3/EBU XLR input/output with sample rate converters
- Analogue line XLR input/output with up to 24 dBu
- Microphone inputs, supporting individual switchable 48V phantom power
- Headphone outputs
Control and logic exchange
There are several possibilities to get signals and logics in and out of the DHD system by means of
- GPI and GPO (General Purpose Input/Output) via D-Sub
- Ember+ Protocol via network
- DHD External Protocol via network.
