Dante® Optical Encoder (DXA-OPT-TX)

Key Features:

• Optical Audio to Dante® Conversion – Converts Optical 2CH audio to two-channel Dante® output.
• Dante® Ultimo 2×2 Platform – Delivers stable, low-latency networked audio performance
• High Sampling Rate – Supports PCM audio input up to 192kHz and output up to 96kHz at 24-bit depth
• Configurable Latency– Adjustable 1ms, 2ms, or 5ms delay settings.
• AES67 Compatibility –  Ensures interoperability with AES67-compliant audio networks.
• Dual Power Options – Powered via USB-C or PoE (IEEE 802.3af, Class 0).
• Compact & Portable Design– Simple installation with flexible deployment.

The ToVi DXA-OPT-TX is a 2-channel Dante® optical input adapter built on the Dante® Ultimo 2×2 platform, designed to bridge Dante® networked audio systems with optical (SPDIF/TOSLINK) audio equipment. It converts 2-channel optical audio into 2-channel Dante® digital audio, enabling seamless audio distribution from optical audio devices to IP-based networks.

The adapter supports Optical audio input up to PCM 2-channel with sampling rates up to 32KHz-192KHz at 24-bit with Dante audio output at PCM 2-channel with sampling rates up to 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96kHz at 24-bit. Configurable Dante® audio delay settings of 1ms, 2ms, or 5ms allow precise audio synchronization, and AES67 support ensures interoperability with other compliant audio-over-IP systems. High-quality digital signal processing delivers lossless audio performance with low latency and high reliability.

Designed for ease of deployment, the DXA-OPT-TX offers plug-andplay operation, USB-C or Power over Ethernet (PoE) power options, and a compact, lightweight form factor. It is ideal for recording studios, live sound, concerts, broadcast environments, art installations, and professional AV applications requiring reliable optical audio to Dante conversion.
