Cadac CM-DT64 - 64 x 64 Rackmount 1U Dante Audio Network Bridge with 96kHz or 48 kHz Operation

The Cadac CM-DT64 is a 1U Dante to MegaCOMMS audio network bridge enabling Dante units to be incorporated within a MegaCOMMS audio network. It features A and B Dante Ethernet ports with redundancy, operates at either 96 kHz or 48 kHz and can handle up to 64 inputs and outputs.

The Cadac CM-DT64 unit is used as part of a larger audio system made up of multiple units: digital mixing console(s) and remote MegaCOMMS I/O device(s). The CM-DT64 is an audio network bridge enabling Dante units to be incorporated within Cadac's MegaCOMMS audio network.

The Cadac CM-DT64 is a 1U, Dante to MegaCOMMS audio network bridge, enabling Dante units to be incorporated within a MegaCOMMS audio network. The unit supports up to 64 bi-directional connections to map between MegaCOMMS ports and a Dante network.

The unit features A and B Dante Ethernet ports to provide the 64 input and output channel count at 96 kHz. Each has a primary and secondary connection; the secondary connections are for redundant network connections only.

CM-DT64 can operate at either 96 kHz providing 64 bi-directional channels using both A and B Dante ports, or 64 bi-directional channels at 48 kHz using Dante port A only. However, both Dante cards must be set to the same Word clock rate - even if only one card is being used.

The unit also has its own independent Word Clock OUT.

All MegaCOMMS audio connections are via co-axial. The co-axial ports glow either red or blue for Rx (receive) or Tx (transmit).

The CM-DT64 also comes as standard with redundant, auto switching, internal PSUs. Cooling of the unit is via convection.
