PENTA 721s-SDI is a Dual SDI embedder/de-embedder with onboard Samplerate Converter, MADI, AES and Dante, which provides a versatile and flexible solution for signal distribution of embedded audio via AES/EBU, MADI, as well as routing via IP Gigabit Ethernet and optical fibre networks.
Penta 721s-SDI is a compact 1U digital audio interface with a dual set of 3G SDI input/output ports, Pro|Mon and dual power supply. It provides embedding and de-embedding of 16 audio channels per port where samplerate conversion can be enabled if desired.
All embedded channel can be routed to and from any of the digital interfaces on the unit. It comes with eight channel AES/EBU input/output channels, MADI and Dante IP Audio Ethernet in/outs, as well as an optional mini-module slot with dual SFP MADI optical in/out connection.
PENTA 721s-DNT is a Dante to Dante converter with built-in Samplerate Converter, MADI and AES, which provides a versatile and flexible solution for signal distribution of Dante audio between two different networks as well as routing via AES/EBU and MADI and optical fibre networks.
It is a compact 1U digital audio interface with a dual set of Dante IP Audio network ports, Pro|Mon and dual power supply, providing routing and selection of sample rate between two separated Dante networks and individual domains. One of the domains has a capacity of 128 Dante channels and 128 audio flows, and the other domain has a capacity of 64 Dante channels and 32 audio flows.
All Dante channels can be routed to and from any of the digital interfaces of the unit. It comes with eight channel AES/EBU input/output channels, MADI and two IP Audio Ethernet in/outs, as well as an optional mini-module slot with dual SFP MADI optical in/out connection.
The PENTA 721s has 1 large user-configurable slot for one of the seven optional I/O cards including a 128 ch Dante interface. There is a slot for the optional Dual MADI Module labeled Optical I/O and includes as standard a Dante/AES67 Interface using the two Ethernet ports on the rear.
The large slot can be configured with any one of the seven available analog and digital cards, in addition to the digital interfaces provided on the base unit. Check out the features of each of the available Penta I/O cards here. Signal Routing PENTA 721s include a 512×512 multiplexer, enabling all analog and digital inputs and outputs to be routed in any combination; this enables the unit to also split signals for advanced signal distribution. The multiplexer can be used to establish the static connections of the signal inputs and outputs, and furthermore, it incorporates soft switching with a fade down and fade up the functionality of the signal level. Soft switching ensures that setting or changing a signal path can be made without any audible click or artifact.
