The AE-4D is a compact converter that mutually converts AES/EBU signals and 4-channel Dante signals. With half the size of a standard 1U rack, the AE-4D is suitable for different Dante systems as an exquisite AES/EBU input/output unit. The built-in DSP mixer enables small scale systems to fully perform with a variety of input/output models the TASCAM Dante Compact Processor Series offers. AE-4D supports up to 96kHz/24bit and uses XLR connectors for AES/EBU output.
4 AES/EBU Input/Output, 4 Dante Input/Output
The AE-4D is a simple converter that converts 4-channel AES/EBU input signals into 4-channel Dante output signals, or 4-channel Dante input signals into 4-channel AES/EBU input signals.


Introducing a Wide Range of Digital Equipment into a Dante System
Often used in PA/SR and pro audio environments, digital equipment compatible with AES/EBU format can be used on Dante systems. The AE-4D also includes a sampling rate converter, which enables different AES/EBU sources to be used on a Dante system.
PoE Supported
Power supply can be provided to the unit via PoE (Power over Ethernet).
No need for AC adaptors; power supply construction fees and installation costs can be reduced by using a PoE compatible network switch.


Remote Control via Control Software
Controlling effects or the matrix mixer can be easily done through the dedicated control software; depending on the amount of controls the user needs, there are two types:
- TASCAM DCP CONNECT, designed for system integrators/managers that handle the configuration and settings of an entire system.
- TASCAM EZ CONNECT, designed for end-users and allowing them to use simple controls.
Additional Features


Flexible Routing
Routing to each Dante device is easy via Dante controller. Input/output units can be added flexibly to new or already established Dante systems.

Information
Latest version info | |
Firmware | V1.04 |
Dante Module Firmware | V1.2.0.6 |
- In firmware V1.03 and earlier, when the total amount of packet data sent/received exceeded 2 GB due to prolonged operation after power-on, the network connection would become unavailable or the network would be disconnected.
This issue has been fixed in V1.04.
- In V1.2.0.5, remote connection could still become interrupted on networks where multicast was used. This problem was confirmed and fixed.
