Introduction

The Model 5482 Dante Bridge provides a high-performance

means of interconnecting (“bridging”) Dante audio-over-

Ethernet channels associated with two independent local-area-

networks (LANs) or Dante domains. The unit is compatible

with the Dante Domain Manager™ (DDM) software applica-

tion and is complaint with the AES67 technical standard. The

Model 5482 is available in two versions: the Model 5482-01

allows up to 32 audio channels to pass in each direction, while

the Model 5482-02 allows up to 64 audio channels. Internal

sample rate conversion (SRC) capability provides sample rate,

bit-depth, and timing conversion to ensure that audio signal

integrity is maintained.

Dante audio-over-Ethernet has found wide acceptance as

a network “backbone” due to its ease of use, excellent

audio performance, strong interoperability, and wide adop

tion by a large number of equipment manufacturers. How

ever, interconnecting Dante audio channels on independent

local-area-networks or domains can present a challenge. But

using the Model 5482 makes this a simple task, only requiring

interconnecting standard Ethernet signals and performing a

minimal amount of configuration. A few minutes of time is

all that’s required to make the unit part of a sophisticated,

networked audio system.

The Model 5482 can be powered by 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz or a

source of 12 volts DC. Both can be simultaneously connected

to provide redundant power operation. The unit’s lightweight

enclosure mounts in one space (1U) of a standard 19-inch

equipment rack. Industry-standard connectors are used for

the Ethernet, AC mains, and DC power interconnections.

The unit is built to professional standards and is intended for

continuous, 24-hour operation.

Each of the Model 5482’s two Dante interfaces incorporates

three Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) connections. Two GigE ports

are designated for use by the associated Dante network while

the third is reserved for factory configuration use. A setting

performed within the Dante Controller application selects

whether each Dante interface will operate in a Switched or

Redundant mode. For installation flexibility the two Dante

interfaces can be configured independently.

The Model 5482 can also perform on the same local ing parameters. The Dante Controller software application, area network (LAN), interconnecting two independent Dante available free of charge from Audinate, is used to configure domains.

Model 5482 Specifications Applications: Interconnects up to 64 channels in each direction between two independent Dante audio-over-Ethernet networks. Also supports AES67-2018 applications. Integrated sample-rate-conversion (SRC) functions ensure that timing of independent networks is maintained. Versions Available: Model 5482-01: supports up to 32 channels (44.1 or 48 kHz sample rates) and 16 channels (88.2 or 96 kHz sample rates) Model 5482-02: supports up to 64 channels (44.
