Connect the unit to your Dante AV network using the primary Ethernet port. The transmitter features one 12G-SDI input and one HDMI 2.0 input capable of supporting signals up to 4K60. 8-channel, 48 kHz embedded PCM audio from those sources can be distributed across the network via TCP/IP protocols.

The transmitter is compatible with Dante Controller software, which allows you to route the video, audio, KVM, VISCA, and IR connections via your network to the destination of your choice. Two USB-A ports connect peripheral devices, while a mini-USB port inputs your Windows or macOS computer. IR communication is facilitated using the 3.5mm input and output ports and the included emitter and receiver units. The transmitter supports HDCP 2.2 and has a DB-9 port for RS-422 serial control. Five LED indicators on the front panel of the unit display power, codec, system, sync, and HDCP status.
