AVN-DIO09 Microphone Input to Dante®

The AVN-DIO09 is a Microphone input to Dante converter in the Sonifex DIO range of Dante input/output devices with A/D circuitry offering a world-class E.I.N. of 129dB. It features a single high quality mic preamp with balanced XLR input, coarse and fine gain controls, high pass filter, phantom power, tri-color level LED  and one Neutrik EtherCon® connector for direct connection to a Dante AoIP network.

All Sonifex DIO interfaces provide a simple, convenient, and elegant plug and play method of connecting legacy analogue and digital audio equipment to the Dante AoIP audio network.

All DIO products use Dante Controller for configuration and are powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet). They use rugged aluminium boxes with side slots for screw-mounting and contain superior audio circuitry for optimal audio performance. All feature rugged Neutrik EtherCon® connectors and Neutrik lockable audio connectors for ultra-reliable connectivity.

The AVN-DIO09 has coarse and fine mic gain with the coarse gain set using a toggle switch, providing 20dB/50dB of gain, and the fine gain set using a trimmer adjustment tool, or small flat blade screwdriver, adding between 0dB and 36dB of additional gain. An on/off toggle switch turns the high pass filter on or off and when enabled, it acts on frequencies below 125Hz at a rolloff of 6dB/octave.

Phantom power is enabled/disabled via a toggle switch on the front panel and when enabled, a 48V DC supply is provided to power an appropriate microphone. A red LED illuminates to show when phantom is enabled.

A front panel audio level LED helps to set the gain and shows the audio level being sent to the Dante network.

Note: If using a phantom powered microphone, it may be necessary to earth the unit using the rear panel earth tag to eliminate mains hum, depending on the nature of your PoE supply.

  • 1 x balanced microphone input on XLR socket with latch lock.
  • Neutrik EtherCon® Ethernet connection.
  • Single turn pot setting fine mic gain (0dB – 36dB).
  • Coarse mic gain switch (+20db/+50dB).
  • High pass filter on/off switch.
  • Phantom power on/off switch.
  • Phantom power LED indicator.
  • Level LED indicator.
  • Fully Dante compliant device.
  • AES67 compatible.
  • Dante Domain Manager compliant.
  • Ultra-high quality, wide dynamic range A/D conversion.
  • Powered via PoE (Power over Ethernet).

AVN-DIO10 Dante® to 3G/HD/SD-SDI Embedder/De-Embedder

The AVN-DIO10 is a 3G/HD/SD-SDI to Dante® Embedder/De-Embedder in a single product solution. This is a simple plug and play audio/video interface that provides a convenient and elegant method of connecting legacy 3G/HD/SD-SDI equipment to the Dante® AoIP audio network.

The AVN-DIO10 takes any SDI feed, de-embeds the 16 audio channels and places them on channels 1-16 of the Dante network, mapped using Dante Controller. It simultaneously takes the 16 input channels mapped to the device on Dante Controller and re-embeds them onto the SDI output, with an embed enable switch for each channel pair.

It has a single 3G/HD/SD-SDI input and a reclocked output, with dual redundant Primary and Secondary Dante network ports, using Neutrik EtherCon® Ethernet connectors and is powered by PoE. It is a fully Dante compliant and AES67 compatible device that uses Dante Controller for configuration and supports the full range of Dante sample rates.

Polymotion Chat

Polymotion Chat is an easily deployable studio solution that allows an operator to automate up to six presenter and guest camera positions. Using limb and face detection software Polymotion Chat tracks their movements and provides stable and natural-looking content.

SIMPLY YOUR WORKFLOW

Polymotion Chat is a camera solution for small studios. Controlling up to 6 robotic heads from one operator stadium, Chat can be used as a flexible broadcast solution.

ADAPTABLE, AUTOMATED SYSTEM

Whether your requirements are traditional newsroom, standing presenter-led, or magazine format show, Polymotion Chat can help streamline this work-flow.

REPLICATE NATURAL MOVEMENT

An operator has several tools inside Polymotion Chat to replicate a natural camera movement. For example, after framing their subject, a ‘static zone’ can be set to control how far the subject can move before the camera starts to follow it. The speed of this move can also be controlled in line with the production requirements.

FLEXIBLE AND EASY TO USE

Polymotion Chat can utilise presets to help locate and frame subjects. This can include off frame positions for graphics insertions for news or sports programming or set camera positions for intros or interviews.

Additionally, for the pop-up studio, a remote production workflow can be used with the operator managing the Polymotion Chat system over IP from the main production facility.

USE YOUR EXISTING CAMERAS

Any combination of the MRMC Robotics range can be used with Polymotion Chat.

For customers who already have chosen their cameras they can simply add them to our AFC100 platform. This will turn the camera into a fully automated robotic head with pan, tilt, zoom and focus. This delivers the same consistent ‘look and feel’ in production with the added benefit of precision.

ONE OPERATOR

The Polymotion Chat solution comes in either a 1U Polymotion Server (which supports up to 3 tracking heads) or a 2U Polymotion Server (which supports up to 6). Simply use your existing cameras on one of MRMC Robotic heads and connect. The interface has been designed to work with either a touchscreen or a standard keyboard and mouse. One operator can easily control Polymotion Chat and additional operators’ consoles can be added.

SIMPLE UI

With Polymotion Chat software, automatic zones can be set per camera to ensure the subject is framed correctly and if they move beyond a set radius the camera automatically follows them. Limits can also be set so that if the subject moves out of the studio space the camera simply stops following and returns to it’s default position.
