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 Core can be equipped with a AES67 RAVENNA Interface (52-7567A). Also a Dante™ Audio-over-IP interface (52-7580A or 52-7585A) is available. With the AES67 RAVENNA interface you can use up to 128 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. The Dante interfaces supports up to 512×512 channels.

And by the way – all XC3 cores can be equipped with a 16x16ch AES67 interface, which can be enabled just by license (52-8546).

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.
