Dante Redundancy
When [Network - Dante Redundancy Mode] is set to On, the PIX 260i's Primary and Secondary
Ethernet ports both transmit Dante Audio data over separate networks. This provides a fail safe of
the Dante system if one of the networks should fail.
In Dante Redundancy Mode, two separate networks must be run and they CANNOT be connected to one
another. Connect any computer running Dante Controller to the PIX 260's PRI Ethernet network.

Sample Rate Converters
Dante, AES, and HDMI inputs all have Sample Rate Converters. These help ensure syncronization of
digital audio from multiple sources. SDI Audio Inputs do not have Sample Rate Converters. When
using SDI Audio in Audio Only mode the [Timecode/Sync - Sync Ref - Audio Only] should be set
to Video Input (SDI/HDMI). Any other configuration could result in undesired audio artifacts such
as clicks and pops. In Video Mode, SDI audio cannot be used when using HDMI as the Video Input
source.
Choosing Audio Sources
Audio Input Source is selected in the Audio Screen in the Source column. To setup an input:
1. Press AUDIO to access the Audio Screen. If the Source column is not visible, press AUDIO
again to reveal it.
2. Rotate the Control Knob to select the desired track.
