There’s also a lot less mess on stage as the in-house engineer can use the same stage box if their mixing desk is Dante compatible.įor a long while, I thought I was stuck with one of the solutions above where I would try and find a way to force Dante audio into the switch somehow. With devices such as these from Dante, You can have a Dante-compatible stage box on the stage and a Dante AVIO Analog Output at each camera, or at your embedder, that way rather than running 2 separate mic cables you now have 1 network cable instead. Of course, rather than running a bunch of XLR cables from one side of a venue to the other, you could use CAT5e instead. The downside to this is the additional cost for each audio channel you want to add to your broadcast or recording. Plus it’s also one less thing to go wrong.Īnother way you could use this method, well something very similar, is to run your camera signal feedback to the Switcher as normal but before you plug into the switch and an audio embedder (such as the Teranex Mini Audio to SDI 12G).
If you have a camera or 2 that are locked off then perfect utilise the camera inputs but when you have the camera on a dolly or jib then it’s best to avoid this approach as you already going to have a power and signal cable to deal with let alone audio cables on top of that too.
I really don’t like this approach if you have cameras that move around a lot. It’s another quite simple option but this one is a bit messier as you need to run audio cables to each of your cameras either from a breakout box or from the performer themselves. My next method of getting audio into the switcher is by using the built-in audio inputs on the cameras you are using.
