Lectrosonics SPNDNT DIGITAL MATRIX ROUTER FOR DANTE AND AVB

Lectrosonics SPNDNT DIGITAL MATRIX ROUTER FOR DANTE AND AVB

In essence, the Lectrosonics SPNDNT is a professionally designed full function DSP mixer and processor like other ASPEN models except that instead of analog I/O ports, it comes using the digital network Dante ports. The processor comes combining the Dante networked digital audio that comes along with the ASPEN digital matrix for expanding the signal routing options. The on-board Audinate® Brooklyn II module functions as a native Dante device with the use of standard ethernet or AVB compliant switches.

The processor also comes capable of handling the clock synchronization for the ASPEN equipment and the Dante network. If the processor is the Dante master, it is capable of generating the clock signal for the network and the ASPEN rack. If the processor is a Dante slave, it is capable of picking up the network clock and is passing it on to the ASPEN system below it. Multiple Dante equipped devices will automatically discover one another and configure the Master/Slave relationship.

Redundancy, which is required in some applications, is accomplished by connecting to a secondary network that is capable of duplicating the real-time audio traffic. If the primary network fails for any reason, the secondary network’s audio continues without losing even a single sample.

• Connects Dante™ networked audio with ASPEN processors
• Up to 32 inputs and 32 outputs from the Dante network operate as native inputs and outputs in the
  ASPEN digital matrix
• Low latency, tightly synchronized transport of uncompressed audio over IP networks using
  off the shelf switches
• Simplified configuration management includes easy to use Dante features like automatic device discovery
  and plug and play networking
• Gigabit Ethernet transport
• AVB Support
• Redundancy via secondary network
