AudioControl eARC to Dante Encoder with HDMI and TOSLINK inputs, and a RJ45 Dante audio output, powered by POE or USB-C Connection

Ultra-compact and PoE-powered, the ACP-DANTE-ETV deftly fits behind the sleekest flat panel and encodes digital eARC TV audio into Dante, maintaining the signal in the digital domain and making it available to networked Dante devices. Industry-standard sampling rates from 44.1 kHz to as high as 96 kHz in 16-, 24-, or 32-bit word lengths are converted into analogue with zero impact on audio fidelity and with imperceptible delay for unified, coherent site-wide playback.

CEC enables users to control volume levels using the TV remote from the locally zoned display. A second digital input, selectable between Coaxial and TOSLINK inputs, switches between eARC and a second digital audio source.

Dante Controller, downloadable free from Audinate, is required to perform initial configuration, encoding parameters, Dante stream subscriptions, network settings, and AES67 audio support adjustments. For static installations, these may be set-and-forget adjustments. When powered and connected to a Dante network, the AC-DANTE-ETV is ‘auto-discovered’ for easy identification.
