Studio Technologies, renowned for its premium audio, video, and fiber-optic solutions, has launched the Model 5682 ST 2110 to Dante Bridge at this year’s NAB show.
This cutting-edge device offers an efficient method for linking SMPTE ST 2110 audio streams with Dante audio-over-Ethernet systems.
Two Variants for Diverse Audio Channel Needs
The Model 5682 is released in two models to accommodate different audio channel requirements: the Model 5682-01 for up to 32 channels and the Model 5682-02 for up to 64 audio channels. Adhering to the SMPTE ST 2110-30 standard for PCM audio and ST 2110-10 for timing, alongside compatibility with Dante Domain Manager™ and AES67 standards, the Model 5682 ensures wide application across various audio network environments.
Bridging Independent Audio Networks Effortlessly
Designed primarily for integrating audio streams between ST 2110 and Dante networks, the Model 5682 caters to a range of equipment including mixers, switchers, and digital audio processors. With capabilities to operate within the same LAN, it guarantees minimal performance degradation through its sample rate conversion (SRC) feature, while ensuring secure, isolated network interfaces for uncompromised audio transmission.
Addressing the Connectivity Challenges in Modern Broadcast Environments
Gordon Kapes, President of Studio Technologies, emphasizes the increasing adoption of ST 2110 and Dante in professional settings, highlighting the Model 5682’s role in simplifying connectivity and configuration between these prevalent standards. The introduction of the Model 5682 reflects the growing need for seamless interconnectivity in facilities employing both ST 2110 and Dante technologies.
Robust Connectivity Options and Redundant Streaming Support The Model 5682 boasts three Gigabit Ethernet connections per interface, with support for redundant streaming according to the SMPTE 2022-7 standard, and offers versatile operation modes through the Dante Controller software. Its design facilitates both secure configuration and robust performance in networked audio applications.
User-Friendly Operation and Continuous Reliability Featuring an intuitive front panel with LED indicators, LCD display, and pushbutton controls for easy operation, the Model 5682 supports NMOS, ANEMAN, and JSON for ST 2110 configurations, with the Dante Controller software handling Dante network adjustments. Powered by AC or DC sources with redundancy options, its rack-mountable design and professional-grade construction ensure reliable, round-the-clock operation for broadcast and audio professionals.
