Intraplex® IPConnect is an IP networking gateway solution for fortification of mission-critical communication across wide area networks
IPConnect solves the problem of reliable transport across complex networks that traditionally suffer data loss through dropped packets. IPConnect provides an added layer of reliability for many types of IP traffic such as HD Radio, DAB/DAB+, or DRM by employing a combination of packet protection schemes with network/time diversity and packet-level forward error correction. Additionally, IPConnect can bridge local area network (LAN) segments across wide-area networks with seamless tunneling to enhance reliability of program and signal transport across large geographical regions with multiple receiving and transmitting sites.
With its three network interfaces, IPConnect’s data gateway provides extra protection through packet encapsulation, which encloses external IP data packets in a GatesAir protocol wrapper as it moves across IP networks. IPConnect provides this protection for studio-generated data, as well as IP data from external sources. While the former might include RDS data or SNMP control signals to trigger a command at the transmitter site, the latter may incorporate program or control data coming from a network operations center, satellite feed or advertising service.
As the next-generation member in GatesAir Intraplex family of IP codecs, the award-winning IPConnect leverages the strengths of previous IP Link codecs—including GatesAir’s patented Dynamic Stream Splicing (DSS) technology to mitigate IP packet loss, eliminate off-air time, and optimize stream reliability.

The DARK1616S is a versatile break in/ out box for sending/ receiving both analogue and digital (AES3) audio to/ from a network utilising the Dante audio over IP (AoIP) protocol.
In total there are 16 channels of audio sent from the Dark1616S into the network. The Dark1616S has 8 of AES3 inputs and 16 of analogue inputs. Using the GlenController App it is possible to set which inputs (AES3 or Analogue) are being sent to the Dante/ AES67 network, an auto mode is available that sends AES3 (when a valid signal is detected) in preference to the analogue input.
Simultaneously there are 16 channels of audio being received from the network by the Dark1616S and these incoming circuits are provided as outputs from the Dark1616S in both AES3 and analogue.
The AES3 inputs have sample rate converters on them and can accept input frequencies up to 192kHz, the incoming AES3 circuit is always sample rate converted to match the Dante network frequency.
The AES3 outputs have sample rate converters on them and can be locked to the sample frequency of the Word clock input, the first AES3 input or to the Dante network.
A Word clock output is also provided, this is clocked at the same sample rate as the Dante network and can be used for locking external equipment to the network's sample rate.
The unit can be remote controlled using our GlenController Windows 10 App. The App allows such things as the dBFs levels to be set, clock masters and also provides input/ output metering. See the App tab for further details.
For ease of cabling audio I/O is presented on D25 sockets to the AES59 standard (Tascam wiring convention) for which there are a number of reasonably priced break out cables available from multiple suppliers.
Being designed for resilient broadcast applications, the Dark1616S features both redundant power supplies and redundant Dante network links with link status GPOs (general purpose outputs (solid state relays)). Both primary and secondary network links are provided with both magnetic (copper RJ45) and fibre (SFP) interface connections. The Dante system itself provides a completely transparent redundant link system which means that if the Dark1616S lost its primary link circuit the secondary link would automatically take over with no loss of audio.
The primary and secondary network interfaces are routed internally via a network switch. It is possible to set this switch to work as a traditional network switch instead of the default redundant mode. This means that there would be just one link to the Dante network and the other connections of the switch could have other Dante or network devices connected to them. As with all Dante devices, once set up, Dark1616S units can be directly connected with each other with no external network hardware.

The DARK8ADI (Analogue & Digital Input) is a very powerful Dante®/ AES67 network audio interface, in a robust 1RU 19" subrack It has a 8 of low noise analogue line inputs and 4 of transformer balanced AES3 digital audio inputs. These inputs are transmitted on a fully redundant Dante/ AES67 network interface.
In total 16 audio circuits are sent to the Dante/ AES67 network. Eight of these circuits are always derived from the 4 x AES3 inputs, the other eight are automatically switched between the AES3 and analogue inputs. If the DARK8ADI detects valid AES3 signal on a channel then this will be routed to the network output. If no valid AES3 is detected then the analogue input will be routed to the network output instead of the AES3.
The rugged design, redundant mains powering & redundant network facility of the unit means that it can easily be placed and left unattended wherever audio sources are required.
Eight Analogue Audio InputsThe DARK8ADI has 8 electronically balanced analogue line level audio inputs. Each input is on its own Neutrik 3 pin XLR socket.Quality Analogue To Digital ConvertersTo get the best possible results from your analogue audio inputs, the very best widest range analogue to digital converters (ADCs) currently available are used to make sure the digital audio on your network is as good as it possibly can be.Four AES3 Audio InputsThe DARK8ADI has 4 transformer balanced digital AES3 audio inputs. Each input is on its own Neutrik 3 pin XLR socket. These inputs can accept sample rates up to 192kHz.
Analogue/ AES3 Auto SwitchingEight of the audio outputs are derived from both the 4 x AES3 inputs and the 8 analogue inputs, whereby the AES3 inputs take priority to the analogue circuits. Our input circuitry looks for valid AES3 data streams on the AES3 inputs. If one is detected then the pair of audio outputs (AES3 is two audio channels) associated with that circuit will be routed to the Dante/ AES67 output and if no valid AES3 signal is detected then the analogue input will be routed to that output.
AES3 Network OutputsAs well as the switched outputs, the outputs of the 4 x AES3 input circuits are always routed to 8 audio channels of the AoIP network.
Sample Rate ConvertersThe AES3 audio inputs are fed through sample rate converters so that they match the AoIP networks sample frequency. The AoIP network supports up to 192kHz sampling and the AES3 inputs can be between 32 & 192kHz.
Network InterfaceThere are 4 network interfaces on the DARK8ADI. There are 2 x Neutrik Ethercon (RJ45) connectors and there are also 2 x SFP slots for customers to fit their own preferred fibre interfaces.
Redundant Network InterfaceWhen using the Dante protocol it is possible to set the DARK8ADI to have a fully redundant network interface whereby a completely glitch free automatic redundant audio network link is provided across 2 of the network interfaces.
PowerEach DARK8ADI can be powered from two independent sources to provide a multi-redundant power option.Two wide range switch mode power supplies are fitted as standard to provide redundant mains power supplies.
Alarms & LEDsThe front panel features two LEDs (one indicating OK and the other fault) for both power supplies and both network ports. This data OK/ Fault information is also provided on solid state relay outputs on front panel D connectors.
