Swiss manufacturer Merging Technologies has added a number of new features to its Anubis interface AD/DA converter. Launched in 2019, the Ravenna/AES67 hub is designed for broadcasters looking to move their operations to regional data centers linked by IP.
The company explains the original concept for Anubis was for a “low-cost, high-quality interface that could fit in a studio, post-production suite or similar environment,” without a redundant network topology. It says the design of Anubis meets present and future requirements through the use of tailored software.
In addition, Anubis SPS adds NMOS IS-04 (discovery and registration) and IS-05 (device connection management) to its list of features. Merging is simultaneously launching its Merging Audio Device, which it says, coupled with Anubis SPS, “opens remarkable possibilities.”
MAD is a multi-ASIO driver (also with WDM support) that has an infrastructure option that supports ST2022-7, ST2110, NMOS and virtual machine control. This latter feature recognizes that centralized data centers and server-based installations help efficiently manage broadcast industry tasks, said the firm..
ANUBIS SPS is now shipping and is fully ST2022-7 compliant.
