A series of optional interface cards, designed to fit the Local Rack, Compact Stagebox, Vi1, Vi3000 and in some cases also the Vi Stagebox, enabling Vi Series™ consoles to interface directly with a wide range of other systems and audio networks using industry standard protocols. The Dante card allows 64 channels to be sent to/received from a Dante network. As well as providing audio exchange with other Dante-enabled equipment, the card also allows 64 channels of audio to be connected directly to a PC or Mac computer for recording or processing, by using a standard Ethernet connection*. Routing and setup of the network is done using an external computer running Dante Controller software (available FOC from the Audinate website). A BNC sync output connector on the card allows the console's wordclock input to be driven by the network clock, if required by the clocking setup. *Requires Dante Virtual Soundcard software to be installed on the computer - one licence token supplied with each card.
