At IBC 2024 Apantac unveiled extended range of connectivity products with AoIP and HDR units. The new DA-HDTV-Dante-Tx-UHD is a compact HDMI to Dante convertor, which can take in Dolby Atmos, DTS, AAC and other digital audio formats.
   

Thomas Tang, CEO, Apantac, said: “It takes the HDMI input and extracts the audio, then decodes it into 16 channels of Dante audio.” It supports PoE+ and can be rack mounted.

There is also a version for de-embedding 12G SDI into Dante, available as an openGear card (OG-DA-SDI-DE-12G-Dante) or standalone unit, with an optional fibre input.

Apantac is also showing new HDR up-, down- and cross-conversion (PQ and HLG) as an openGear card (OG-HDR-UDX). The Tahoma T# multiviewers now also support HDR (PQ and HLG). The modular multiviewers allow users to mix and match I/O ports (up to 12G, including IP, fibre, 3G, SDI, CVBS, HDMI and Display Port), with up to 64 inputs and eight outputs supported in a 4RU frame.
