Key features
Key features of the Mini include:
- Power for multiple audio applications.
- Expandable applications after initial purchase with expansion packages.
- AES67 and other inputs via USB, including analog, AES/EBU, MADI and Dante.
- Compact form for easy logistics and portability.
- Quick access to the user interface with QR code scan.

According to the company, the Mini is the handy, small size, low power consumption choice among its Audio Codec Servers. It is small enough to be easily transported but still allows up to 10 mono, stereo or multichannel programs. While the Mini itself does not come equipped with any classical audio interfaces, it still supports I/O besides AES67 and Ravenna via third-party USB audio interfaces. Six USB ports ensure the operator can connect all audio interfaces and peripherals they require.
All the Mini boxes are globally available, and Ferncast will present them at the IBC2022 in Amsterdam, stand 8F89.
