Ligra DS counts among its new audio products those of the French company AuviTran, with which it has signed an exclusive distribution agreement for the Italian market. Based near Grenoble, AuviTran is a company specialising in the production of products for audio over IP, which thus convey uncompressed digital audio signals in real time over an Ethernet network. In particular, modular and scalable units (ToolBox) which, by means of the insertion of special interface cards, make the two worlds of audio over network protocol dialogue with the traditional one, both digital and analogue, Dante® breakout boxes with integrated DSP and wall box interfaces, for wall mounting, which collect the analogue signal and make it available over IP, or vice versa. These types of devices are particularly useful in installations with distributed audio.
Audio ToolBox: connects, sorts and routes audio signals with different protocols
These cards are called AxC-Card e uonce inserted in the racks, as required, make ToolBox a versatile tool that works from audio matrix and by conversion units by sendingfor example, signals from MADI to Dante®MADI to AVB, Dante® to AVB, MADI to Dante®/AVB together etc..
ToolBox obviously relies on a software, AVS-Monitor, which allows all boards to be managed and the matrix to be used to assign inputs to outputs in the desired manner.
Main Features
- StageBox version: inputs/outputs on the front panel and power supply at the rear
- Install version: inputs/outputs on rear panel
- Available cards: Dante®/AES67, AVB, CobraNet, EtherSound, AES/EBU, network switch, MADI electrical/optical, ADAT, DSP, analogue in/out
- Redundant power supply option
