These devices facilitate the transmission of 8-channel audio, up to 4Kp60 4:4:4 video, USB, IR, and RS-422 serial commands over a 1GbE network.

All models come equipped with a 2.0-inch IPS panel, offering video preview and audio level meter displays. Moreover, users can access Dante settings menus for adjustments such as sampling rate and latency using an intuitive rotary switch knob. The addition of a headphone jack facilitates audio monitoring, allowing users to confirm received audio through headphones.
