AVPro Edge is launching a Dante encoder, decoder, and an encoder wall plate for the MXnet Evolution II Ecosystem, providing integrators with improved installation efficiency and flexible endpoint options.
With the MXnet Evolution II Encoder and Decoder, installations that do not systematically deploy Dante audio but segregate it to an independent network can now simplify long-haul transport cabling to a single endpoint. Dante streams are taken from the EV2 encoder to any EV2 decoder endpoint, bringing encoded signals closer to Dante devices. Dante-enabled amplifiers can be located physically closer to the speaker systems they will power, potentially overcoming Dante’s 100-meter Category cable distance threshold while also minimising the length required for analogue speaker wire. Dante-equipped self-amplified speakers may also take advantage of merged centralised stream routes.
The AC-MXNET-1G-EV2WP is an MXnet Evolution II encoder with selectable switching between HDMI and USB-C inputs packaged in a PoE-powered wall plate. This allows encoding to be placed where it is most convenient. AV signals are converted into precision multicast data packets, routed to any system decoder via Category 6A cable tethered to an MXnet PoE network switch
