Dante Clocking
Model 5401
The Model 5401 Dante Master Clock has proven to be a solid product that’s found successful use in the field. But trying to use two units on a single local are network to achieve redundant master clock operation currently has one limitation that’s worth noting.
In the Dante Controller software application both Model 5401 units will, by default, appear as Preferred Master and allow an external sync reference. Dante will automatically select one of the units to be the active clock master.

ST 2110
We recently returned from a most-interesting week in Germany, attending the pre-staging event for the IBC 2018 IP Showcase. We took prototype versions of our new ST 2110-compliant products, the Model 5512 Audio Interface and Model 5518 Mic/Line Interface. The goal was to check and see if they would operate successfully with other 2110-compliant equipment as supplied by manufacturers from literally around the world. After initial testing and some software enhancements (can you say “bug fixes”!) things worked out well.

Firmware Updates
Model 48D
In August 2018 version 2.2. of the Model 44D Interface’s application firmware was released. This new firmware revises the tone generation capability, keeping the 18 kHz sine-wave but replacing the 1 kHz with 20 kHz. This change was made so that the Model 44D can better assist a matrix intercom and related audio devices in generating intercom user “call” signals. The change may appear to be fairly subtle, but it continues to expand the ability of Studio Technologies’

Dante
Model 48D
We recently completed and starting shipping the unique Model 48D Dante Bridge. It allows the passing of four audio signals in each direction between two Dante implementations that are running on independent LANs. We recommend reading the user guide for details on how the unit can be effective in a number of applications. See https://studio-tech.com/products/model-48d-dante-bridge/ for full details.

Dante
Models 214/215/216
In late April 2018 new application firmware for the Model 214, Model 215, and Model 216 Announcer’s Console was released. Each is version 2.2 and they are available for download on the Studio Technologies website. This version adds the ability to use STcontroller (1.05.00 and later) to remotely observe and, if desired, revise the headphone output gain range. This can be very useful, especially in situations where headphone performance requirements change on an event-to-event basis.

Firmware Updates
Model 5422
We’re pleased to announce the release of main firmware version 1.12 for the Model 5422 Dante Intercom Audio Engine. The new version includes improvements to the unit’s FTP and HTML performance and reliability. There are also a number of other internal updates and enhancements. To user’s the only thing that may be noticed is that several of the text names associated with the IFB function have been revised for clarity.
Version 1.12 applies to both the Model 5422-01 and Model 5422-02 configurations.

Analog IFB
Over the years people have asked us to describe the differences between the Model 41 Interface and the Model 42A Interface. The answer is simple: Both units unit have the same circuitry, perform the same functions, and have four 3-pin male XLR connectors on their back panel for access to the powered IFB outputs. But the Model 42A also has four 3-pin male XLR connectors on its front panel. This can be useful when you need direct,

ST 2110
Studio Technologies is making good progress with our upcoming set of products that support the new ST 2110 standards. First to be ready will be the line-level analog to/from ST 2110 interfaces. The Model 5512-01 will have 8-in/8-out. The Model 5512-02 will have 16-in/16-out. (See https://studio-tech.com/products/model-5512-audio-interface/ for photos of actual unit.) We’re targeting next month (July 2018) for first field trials.
Development is also going well on the Model 5518 which will have 8 mic/line inputs (XLR3F connectors on the front panel) and 8 line-level analog outputs (DB-25F on the back panel).
