ARIA OG-AUD4-DANTE

Cobalt Digital introduces the ARIA OG-AUD4-DANTE — a DANTE card in openGear® form factor. The COBALT ARIA OG-AUD4-DANTE is a 4x channel unit with 12G SDI and DANTE/ AES/MADI which can simultaneously embed and de-embed audio between SDI, DANTE, AES and MADI with flexible routing and mixing. This card also includes a built-in frame sync. This openGear® card features two gigabit Ethernet ports, and a 64×64 Dante channel matrix mixer.

The Cobalt ARIA OG-AUD4-DANTE — High-density, compact openGear® card-based solution, with multiple devices is able to be combined into a single frame for multi-channel operation, as well as offering the standard features of redundant hot-swappable power supplies and hot-swappable cards.
