REDNET SYSTEM COMPONENTS
A RedNet system requires both hardware and software components. The RedNet hardware range
currently consists of various models of I/O interface and a PCIe digital audio interface card which
is installed in the system’s host computer. All the I/O units can be considered as “Break-Out” (and/
or “Break-In”) boxes to/from the network, and all are built in mains-powered, 2U 19” rackmounting
housings.
There are three software items for installation on the host computer: RedNet Control, Dante Controller
and Dante Virtual Soundcard. RedNet Control is required for all systems and Dante Controller is a
useful accessory but familiarity with it is not absolutely essential for operation of simpler systems.
Dante Virtual Soundcard is an optional software alternative to the RedNet PCIe card, and allows
the creation of RedNet systems without a dedicated computer interface card. Systems based on
Dante Virtual Soundcard have a lower channel capacity and a slightly inferior latency performance
compared to systems using the PCIe card.
RedNet I/O interfaces
A variety of audio interfaces is available for the RedNet system, including mic preamps, analogue
line level I/O and various interfaces catering for digital protocols. For more information please visit:

Full details of each RedNet interface can also be found in the User Guides supplied with each unit.
