Sonifex AVN-DIO20 Dante to MADI and AES3 Bidirectional 64-Channel I/O Converter

The AVN-DIO20 serves as a bridge between MADI and AES3 to Dante, enabling two-way connectivity between MADI and AoIP, along with eight stereo channels of AES3. This easy-to-use audio interface offers a straightforward solution for integrating traditional MADI equipment into the Dante AoIP audio network.

Sonifex AVN-DIO20 Features:

• 1 x AES10 MADI input and output, on either SFP or coaxial BNC (up to 64 channels of MADI I/O).
• 8 x stereo AES3 inputs and outputs on 2 x 25-way D-types, using AES59 digital pinout.
• Dual redundant Primary and Secondary Dante network ports using Neutrik EtherCON® Ethernet connectors.
• Powered via PoE (Power over Ethernet) with PoE dual redundancy.
• Fully Dante compliant device.
• AES67 compatible.
• Dante Domain Manager compliant.
• Web interface for configuration.
• Clock, PoE, Network link, AES3 input lock and MADI active LEDs.
• MADI 64, 56, 28 and 16 channel support and audio sample rate support up to 192kHz.
• MADI SFP to BNC automatic failover.
• All available Dante sample rates supported (44.1kHz to 192kHz).
• Sample rate conversion of audio between Dante and MADI/AES3.
• Dante clock domain can be optionally synchronized from the MADI source.
• 3 x units rackmount in the AVN-DIORK.
