Dante® features for TC Bar S and M

With the built-in Dante Embedded Platform (DEP), the TC Bar integrates media and control of your entire AV system over a single IP network.

The Dante® functionality is deactivated by default and must be activated in the control software (see Activating Dante® signal forwarding).

The TC Bar offers various inputs and outputs for Dante® and makes it possible to connect several extensions:

Dante® Input

2x Dante® input with AEC on each input

Dante® Output

General:

4x Dante® Output:
- Audio content is only played back when the TC Bars are used as a USB device.
- Otherwise, the Dante® channels are muted (if the feature Continuous Dante® Stream is disabled)

ConferenceOut:

Mix of NearEnd + Far End (in conference mode and music mode)

LocalMicrophoneMixOut:

NearEnd (in conference mode and music mode)

FarEndRefOut:

Audio data for AEC reference channel for TCC 2 + TCC M solutions

ExternalSpeakerOut:

FarEnd (in conference mode and music mode, if ext. Dante® speaker feature is enabled)

Dante® features

Continuous Dante® Stream:

Enables the continuous transmission of microphone streams over Dante®.

Dedicated Dante® speaker output:

Routes audio to external Dante® speakers and disables the device's internal speakers.

Dante® connections

Ceiling mics:

2x TCC M (medium-sized conference rooms, recommended solution) or 2x TCC 2 (not recommended, as TC Bars are not designed for large meeting rooms)
1x TCC 2 and 1 channel of an SL-DW MCR
1x TCC M and 1 channel of an SL-DW MCR

SL-DW or EW-DX:

Up to 2 channels SL-DW MCR or EW-DX
The use of the mixed sum signal of the MCR is not recommended

The TC Bar S has only one network connection. Therefore an additional switch is required in most cases. TC Bar S can in turn be supplied with power via this one port using PoE+.
