Key Features

Overview

The Model 5421 Dante® Intercom Audio Engine is a high-

performance, cost-effective, flexible solution for creating

party-line (PL) intercom circuits. It’s directly compatible

with the Studio Technologies’ range of 1-, 2-, and 4-chan

nel Dante-enabled beltpacks and other interface-related

products. The unit is suitable for use in fixed and mobile

broadcast facilities, post-production studios, commercial

and educational theater environments, and entertainment

applications.

Only a Gigabit Ethernet network connection with Power-

over-Ethernet (PoE) support is required for the Model

5421 to provide a powerful resource in a variety of Dante

applications. Front- and back-panel LEDs provide operating

status indications. The Studio Technologies’ STcontroller

software application allows personnel to view and configure

key operating parameters. The unit’s lightweight “1/2-rack”

enclosure can be used stand-alone or mounted in one space

(1U) of a standard 19-inch rack enclosure with an optional

rack-mount installation kit. To meet the latest interoper-

ability standard the Model 5421’s Dante implementation

meets the requirements of AES67 as well as supporting the

Dante Domain Manager (DDM) application. Using DDM,

compliance with ST 2110-30 may be possible.

The Model 5421 provides one 16-channel audio engine

which can be configured to provide from one to four “virtual”

intercom circuits. The term “audio engine” was selected

to describe a set of audio input, processing, routing, and

output resources that can be configured to support spe-

cific intercom requirements. Unlike general-purpose Dante

digital matrix devices, the Model 5421 is optimized to allow

direct support for theater, small broadcast, and general

intercom applications.
