Cadac has announced an uprated version of its CDC MC Dante MegaComms audio bridge.

The CDC MC Dante V2 is a 1U-high Dante-to-MegaComms audio network bridge enabling Dante units to be incorporated into a MegaComms audio network. The unit now features Dante A/B Ethernet ports with redundancy and can operate at 96kHz or 48kHz with up to 64 inputs and outputs.

The MC Dante also has onboard sample-rate conversion for all 128 channels, as well as its own independent word clock with audio connections via co-axial. Dual PSUs are standard, to ensure secure performance in critical network applications.

As with the CDC MC Madi unit, the co-axial ports glow either red or blue for Rx (receive) or Tx (transmit) – enabling fast and accurate configuring of the MegaComms network especially in low light. MegaComms networks allow connection of multiple, CDC eight and CDC six and CDC four, consoles, Cadac I/O stage boxes, or third party consoles, sources and audio networks via the CDC MC Madi bridge. With all audio samples synchronised before summing, there is phase coherency between all outputs and negligible aggregated latency, throughout the network, from any analogue input to any analogue output. Together with full 96kHz, 24-bit audio, the unit supports a network capability of up to 3,072 channels.
