Broadcast Studio Application

Eliminate Costly Sound Cards

This small module can save you up to $6,000 in a typical studio setting. No more expensive sound cards on your automation, editor and various studio PC’s. With the Dante Virtual Sound Card, for the price of lunch, you can have 64 channels in/out in ASIO mode (16 in WDM). The Nucleus IP Engine will also connect to any AES67 device and SMPTE 2110 compliant equipment. True to the SAS philospohy of “Keep Calm and Have a Backup” the Nucleus IP Engine provides dual AoIP ports with a built in switch for redundancy against network switch lockup and failures.
