"In the past few years we have experienced tremendous growth in the number of Q-Sys Network Audio systems installed worldwide into performance venues such as theatres, auditoriums and houses of worship, and in some cases our Q-Sys customers have requested a solution to bridge their Dante-enabled sources, such as wireless microphones and digital mixers, directly onto their Q-Sys network," says David Fuller, Sr. director of technical marketing & international sales.
"We have observed that Audinate's Dante hardware has been a popular protocol with many high-end live-sound manufacturers, and with the introduction of our new CDN64 bridge card, our customers are now able to interface their Dante-enabled 'front-of-house' input sources with their 'back-of-house' or 'facility-wide' Q-Sys solution."
The CDN64 provides a bridge for 64x64 channels at 48 kHz (32x32 channels at 96 kHz) from any Dante edge network, directly into a QSC Q-Sys Core for advanced processing and re-distribution over larger LAN and WAN IT infrastructures. The CDN64 Dante bridge card is slated for availability in late Spring 2014.
