Roland Pro A/V announces the availability of XI-Dante, an XI-Expansion Interface card that extends the audio I/O capabilities of the M-5000 digital mixing console.
The new XI-Dante is one of seven expansion cards offered as part of the open architecture of the O.H.R.C.A. mixing platform found in the M-5000, and it “future-proofs” the console by enabling it to interoperate with the growing number of products that are Dante compatible.
When used with the M-5000, the XI-Dante card offers a primary and a secondary port, plus a control port. It also supports 64 bidirectional audio channels at 48 kHz or 32 bidirectional channels at 96 kHz. Running digital audio through the M-5000 via the XI-Dante card eliminates common analog challenges such as interference from other electrical equipment, signal degradation over long cable runs, and more.
The XI-Dante card also expands the flexibility of the new V-1200HD broadcast and live video production switcher by enabling it to operate in a wider range of broadcast and live production applications.
When installed in a V-1200HD expansion slot, the XI-Dante card supports 16 bidirectional audio channels at 48 kHz.
