Product Information

Full details

The Lindy 2ch HDMI ARC to Dante Encoder (70620) is an advanced audio interface designed for AV professionals integrating consumer HDMI audio sources into professional Dante networks. Its key benefit is delivering pristine 2-channel audio with precise synchronization, offering exceptional clarity and robust interoperability. A potential caveat is its reliance on specific network configurations for full Dante/AES67 compatibility. This plug-and-play device supports high-resolution audio (44.1/48kHz, 24-bit) and offers flexible control via CEC, a web GUI, or API, alongside versatile power options including PoE and USB-C.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is HDMI ARC?

HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) allows audio to travel from a TV back to an audio receiver or soundbar using the same HDMI cable that sends video to the TV. This encoder specifically leverages this function to extract audio.

What sample rates and bit depth does the encoder support?

The encoder supports 44.1kHz and 48kHz sample rates at a 24-bit resolution, ensuring high-fidelity audio conversion.

Can I control the audio volume remotely?

Yes, input sensitivity and volume levels can be managed via CEC commands, the intuitive web-based GUI, or through API commands, providing flexible remote control options.

How is the device powered?

The device can be powered via 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet) directly from a compatible network switch, or through an optional local 5V DC 3A USB-C power input.

Does this encoder support multi-channel audio?

No, this specific model is designed to convert 2-channel (stereo) audio from HDMI ARC.

What is AES67 RTP support?

AES67 RTP support ensures interoperability with a wider range of audio-over-IP standards and devices beyond just Dante, making it suitable for diverse AV networking environments.

What are the physical dimensions of the device?

The encoder has physical dimensions of 114mm x 48mm x 26mm (4.48in x 1.88in x 1.02in).

Troubleshooting

No audio detected on the Dante network.

Verify that the HDMI cable is securely connected to the ARC output of the source device and the encoder's HDMI input. Ensure the source device is configured to output audio via ARC. Check the Ethernet connection to the Dante network and confirm the Dante network is active and functional. Review Dante controller software for device discovery and audio routing.

Audio is distorted or noisy.

Check audio levels via the web GUI or API. Ensure input sensitivity and volume are set appropriately. Verify that the source audio itself is clean. Test with a different HDMI cable or Ethernet cable.

Device does not power on.

If using PoE, ensure your network switch supports 802.3af PoE and that the port is enabled. If using USB-C power, confirm the power adapter meets the 5V DC 3A specification and is properly connected. Try powering the device using the alternative method to isolate the issue.

Cannot access the web GUI.

Confirm the encoder is connected to the network and has power. Ensure your computer is on the same network subnet. Try refreshing your browser or clearing your browser's cache. Consult the product manual for the default IP address or instructions on IP address assignment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

High-quality audio conversion with support for 24-bit resolution.
Flexible control options cater to different system integration needs.
Dual power options (PoE and USB-C) enhance installation flexibility.
Wide compatibility due to AES67 RTP support.
Compact and robust metal housing.

Cons

Limited to 2-channel audio output.
Requires a compatible Dante network infrastructure.
Web GUI and API control might require technical expertise for advanced setup.
HDMI ARC functionality depends on the source display's support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Connect an HDMI cable from the HDMI ARC output of your source device (e.g., TV, projector) to the HDMI input port on the Lindy encoder.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the encoder's Dante port to your Dante-enabled network switch. Ensure the switch supports PoE if you intend to power the device this way.
*Optional*: If not using PoE, connect a 5V DC 3A USB-C power adapter to the USB-C power port.
The device is plug-and-play for basic audio transmission. For advanced configuration (input sensitivity, volume), access the web-based GUI or use API commands via your network.

Compatibility:

HDMI: Compatible with devices supporting HDMI ARC. Ensure your source device's HDMI output is configured for ARC.
Dante: Fully compatible with Dante and AES67 audio-over-IP networks. Requires a Dante-enabled audio device or console on the network.
Power: Supports 802.3af PoE or 5V DC 3A USB-C power input.

Care:

Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow around the device; do not obstruct ventilation openings. The operating temperature range is -5°C to 55°C.
Environment: Store the device within a temperature range of -25°C to 70°C. Protect from excessive moisture and dust.
