Applications: |
| Designed to create multiple party-line (PL) circuits in Dante audio-over-IP environments. Also provides functions for use in Remote Integration (REMI) and At-Home production applications. This includes summing (mixing) of audio channels, IFB (talent cueing) creation, and audio switching functions for general-purpose applications. Special Dante pass-thru mode allows flow-limited and non-AES67-compliant Dante devices to participate in more advanced applications. Auto Mix capability can be selected for use in party-line and summing operating modes. |
