Bittree Patch32A Dante Patchbay

Dante Audio-over-IP enabled Patchbay, with 16 TT patchable inputs and outputs, redundant Dante Ports and redundant power supply. Standalone bow with 4 rubber feet, can be rackmounted with optional rack ears (PSRME15).

The Bittree Patch32A Dante enabled patchbay eliminates the complexity of analog and Dante audio patching in broadcast and professional AV infrastructures. Providing a ramp to instantly move 16 channels of analog audio onto and off of Dante networks, the Patch32A serves as a natural bridge between legacy audio equipment and IP-based systems using Audinate’s popular Dante media networking technology – including the Dante platform’s recently-added AES67 and SMPTE ST-2110 interoperability. The Patch32A minimizes cabling, conversion equipment and associated costs for broadcasters, recording studios, post-production facilities and commercial AV environments including houses of worship, performance venues, large corporate offices and higher education campuses.

The 1.5RU Patch32A features TT patching connections for analog I/O (16x16), redundant DC power inputs, external word clock I/O, network status, and multi-level, LED audio VU metering. The patchbay supports 24-bit audio sampling at rates from 44.1 to 192 kHz, with high-quality analog-to-digital conversions that maximize signal integrity and audio fidelity. The unit can interface with Dante Virtual Soundcard, more than 1600 third-party Dante-enabled devices, and almost any analog component in the same system, including audio distribution equipment, digital audio workstations (DAWs), digital signal processors (DSPs), mixing consoles, multi-track recorders and video routers.
