ADTECHNO - 12G-SDI / HDMI to Dante AV Ultra Encoder

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Brings SDI and HDMI sources onto a Colibri-based Dante AV Ultra network. Suitable for broadcast and installed AV workflows, it supports video up to 4K60 with visually lossless compression and subframe latency over 1GbE. SDI and HDMI loop outputs permit local signal verification. A 2-inch IPS display offers video preview, audio metering and configuration access, complemented by headphone monitoring. The SDI interface supports 12G, 6G, 3G and 1.5G signals; the selected source is encoded for network distribution.

The Dante environment allows audio, video and supported control signals to be routed independently, helping integrators distribute a programme to the required endpoints without duplicating the physical source. Matching Colibri-based Dante AV Ultra endpoints are required for video interoperability.

Local preview and audio monitoring help technicians check signals during commissioning and operation. The front-panel rotary control provides access to Dante settings such as sampling rate and latency. This combination suits installed AV and production environments where signal visibility at the device is useful.
