A collaboration Blackbox Recorder manufacturer JoeCo and Audinate, will see Dante digital media networking technology incorporated into a range of Blackbox Recorder products.
‘This not only gives JoeCo an immediate market advantage over existing audio networking solutions, but also protects their investment with our commitment to AVB readiness within our latest products,’ says John McMahon, Audinate’s Vice President of Worldwide Sales & Support. ‘In addition we believe JoeCo’s Dante enabled Blackbox Recorder begins a partnership for years to come and is only the first in a long line of Dante enabled products for JoeCo.’
The Blackbox Recorder is the first dedicated, large-scale, multichannel recorder for audio acquisition and live performance capture, and offers up to 24 channels of live 96kHz/24-bit BWAV format audio to be captured on a regular FAT32 formatted USB2 disk drive, USB flash drive or SDHC card – without the need for a computer. Recorded files can then be transferred to any Mac- or PC-based digital audio workstation for mixing and re-purposing. Multiple BBR units can be linked together for large-scale recordings.
Dante, meanwhile, provides a self configuring, plug-and-play digital audio network that uses standard Internet Protocols. Its offers an immediate networking solution and a migration path to new standards such as the IEEE Audio Video Bridging (AVB).
JoeCo is the latest pro audio manufacturer to announce an incorporation of Dante technology, under licence, in its products. ‘Successful capture and playback of large amounts of audio data in different live situations depends on sample accurate synchronisation and low latency,’ says JoeCo Managing Director Joe Bull. ‘With BBR products increasingly used in broadcast, film and TV applications, as well as live sound, it has become increasingly important to find a protocol that enables fast, reliable and integrated data transfer while keeping costs and complexity to a minimum. In this respect, Dante has proven itself to be the most effective networking technology currently available and we look forward to establishing a long-term partnership with Audinate’.
