Just add Dante and AES67 to UHD transmission

Just Add Power (J+P) has launched the 767DSS, a 3G+ sound system transmitter with Dante and AES67 compatibility to connect audio networks to UHD-over-IP systems, with separate switching for audio and video. The manufacturer states that the transmitter is the industry's first such solution to support the latest Dante 8 channel chipset.

The 767DSS enables the input of up to eight audio channels from the J+P system for playout on Dante-enabled and AES67 devices and extracts up to eight channels from an audio network for playout across the J+P system. The transmitter is also backwards-compatible with legacy two-channel Dante and AES67 devices, and offers bitrates of 176.4 and 192kHz with latency as low as 0.25ms via Gigabit Ethernet. Secondary connectivity is built in for redundancy.

Meanwhile, the 726TVI transmitter adds HD-TVI support for 3G HD-over-IP systems, negating the need for a TV-HDMI converter. It allows for the incorporation of a security camera or digital video recorder as a source.

Also new is the VBS-HDIP-3G 509POE daisy-chain receiver which distributes Ultra HD and 4K video over a single Cat-5e cable without the need for fibre. Any PoE device can be connected with the on-board pass-through network port, while a network soundbar, IPTV control or a single display location can be expanded into a videowall. The receiver can also extend the number of PoE devices that can be added to the system by connecting a PoE switch to the port.

Finally, J+P’s new Just OS family of firmware has been built from the ground up with the Representational State Transfer application programming interface, which is widely used in IoT application development. Just OS features the company's latest firmware update, which enables J+P's Every Switch Supported capabilities, developed to allow integrators to build any size 4K matrix on an existing network without having to change switches. It also brings together J+P's Switch Please and Plug-Play-Present solutions under one umbrella.
