Calrec
Calrec introduces four new devices, including an AES67/Ravenna interface, an AVB interface, a Dante modular I/O card, with AES67 compatibility, and an SMPTE 2022-7 video interface.
A signal can be received via AES67 and then sent via SMPTE 2022, AVB, Ravenna, Dante or AES67. Processing is carried out through modular cards or 1U boxes.
Each element of the new Calrec range redundantly connects to Hydra2 and appears like any other I/O resource in the Hydra2 network, with a set of management tools that offers additional benefits.
The AES67/Ravenna and AVB interfaces are a 1U box that can carry 256 channels of audio in a single connection. A second expansion card can provide full redundancy or 512 channels of audio.
The modular SMPTE 2022 I/O card provides four HD-SDI streams with 16 channels of embedded audio in each, or a single UHD stream with 16 channels of embedded audio. This versatility allows for higher signal density per connection ensuring future-proof infrastructures as they migrate to UHD.
