Merging Technologies ANUBIS PREMIUM SPS | Audio Interface and Monitor
Description
ANUBIS SPS Premium is a compact audio interface that can serve as a powerful Ravenna-network system controller and interface, with the added ability to link directly to a computer DAW. This Seamless Protection Switching (SPS) Premium variant has been developed specifically to address the demands of broadcast facilities that depend on an IP infrastructure. Featuring no-compromise ST2022-7 Class-C and NMOS compliance, it provides an extremely efficient and cost-effective solution for AoIP stream monitoring and management for demanding audio professionals.
MERGING+ANUBIS SPS Premium is unique in its configurability to perform your mission without changing the hardware. Included is the company's new 32-bit dual PreAmp topology, high-fidelity headphone amps, D/A converters derived from years of audiophile experience, all combined with a powerful low-latency mixing engine evolved from 25 years of DAW design. The interface is designed in Switzerland, where it is assembled and tested to the same exacting standards as the company's line of flagship products, and is intended to deliver the same exceptional level of performance and reliability.
SPS Premium Features:
• ST2022-7 Seamless Protection Switching: The interface features two network ports for ST2022-7 Seamless Protection Switching compliance.
• Sample Rates: From 44.1 to 352.8 kHz (DXD) and 384 kHz (PCM) at a 32-bit resolution, plus high-resolution DSD64, DSD128 and DSD256 formats.
• NMOS: MERGING+ANUBIS SPS is capable of registering itself onto an NMOS server and complying with connection requests from a compliant NMOS Network Manager such as VideoIPath from Nevion (NMOS IS-04 and NMOS IS-05).
• SMPTE ST2110: Merging Technologies has implemented ST2110 and AES67. MERGING+ANUBIS SPS meets the demanding requirements of JT-NM and is self-certified.
• RAVENNA / AES67 Built-In: Using Ravenna/AES67, MERGING+ANUBIS SPS is able to flexibly connect to every single input and output across standard networks, using off-the-shelf network equipment.
• DC- or POE-Powered, or Both: Protect your production with audio-network seamless switching and power switching. Connect MERGING+ANUBIS SPS to DC and POE power supplies. Should one fail, MERGING+ANUBIS SPS will switch to the other seamlessly.
• Switch Mode: MERGING+ANUBIS SPS can be used in switch mode instead of redundant ST2022-7 mode, removing the necessity to have a network switch in scenarios where a DAW simply needs to be connected to the interface for mobile recording.
• Accessible and Controllable Remotely: Anubis configuration, presets, and features are completely accessible remotely for very fast troubleshooting and deployment.
Key Features:
• Ethernet with Ravenna interface allows asynchronous data transfer with computer audiosystems and allows cable runs up to 333' with a Cat 5e / Cat 6 cable.
• Use as central hub of a highly scalable and expandable network. Multiple MERGING+ANUBIS or Ravenna-/AES67-compliant interfaces can be connected to the network, and Anubis can remotely and locally control, mix, and monitor multichannel content, and route those I/Os.
• Standalone operations. MERGING+ANUBIS SPS can serve as a multichannel analog converter or headphone amp when disconnected from the computer.
• Full 32-bit signal path from analog I/O, via Mixer.
• TFT LCD capacitive multitouch screen.
• Web-based remote control accessible via smartphone, tablet, or computer.
• Rotary control knob allows easy adjustment of volume level. The rotary knob provides access to a comprehensive and intuitive menu within the MERGING+ANUBIS software.
• FPGA-based DSP mixer with effects and ultralow latency for performer foldback/cues.
• Up to 4 x 128 x 8 mix engines.
• Redundant power supply with PoE and DC power.
