Connecting an Si or Vi Mixer using Dante to a BLU link System
Table of Contents
I have Dante on a Si/Vi mixer, with no free slots. How can I connect to a BLU link network.
You will need to output from the mixer via Dante and convert to Blu link with BSS BLU-DA, BLU-326DA or BLU-806DA.
- Si Mixers use a Si-Dante option card
- Part Number: 5031819.V.
- Vi 1000, 2000, & 3000 Mixers have Dante interface built in but can also use an option card.
- Vi mixers with Local rack will either already have a Dante card installed or you can add one.
- Part Numbers:
- Local Rack/CSB/Mixer Slot - AES67/96kHz version: 5045044.V
- Vi1 needs the 48kHz only version: 5076583.V
- Vi Stagebox - 5036922-03.V
- Part Numbers:
Once Dante is available on mixer, you connect the Dante to the BSS BLU-DA/326/806 following Dante connectivity procedures.
- The BLU-DA/326/806 will allow you to convert Dante to Blu link and visa-versa.
- You will need to configure the Soundweb London Dante device using Audio Architect and create a cross patch as illustrated in the image below.
- Remember that Dante channels have an In and Out with same channel number.
- Blu link channels can be either an In or an Out, but they just all must be unique numbers.
