The 9821EMR-AG-HUB provides a gateway to link IP infrastructures with discrete audio IO directly and by using any of the existing Evertz TDM enabled Audio interfaces. It has a number of functional use cases including translating between AoIP standards including SMPTE ST 302M, AES67* and Dante, for audio bridging between devices supporting SMPTE ST 302M or AES67* to a common core IP audio format.
