Dante AV has halped to transforms the video conferencing capabilities at Liaocheng Media Integration Center.
Liaocheng is a city in western Shandong province, China, home to five million residents. The local news outlet for the city is the Liaocheng Media Integration Center, which consists of a central office and is supported by six sub-centers based around the city.
The Media Center was using a multipoint control unit (MCU) for internal video conferencing between the centers. However, the system suffered from unsatisfactory audio quality and long latency times, resulting in poor lip sync. Dante AV transmitters and receivers from Enne were installed at all locations to improve internal communications and replace the MCU.
Media Center staff contacted Jiang Wei, head of the technical department at Enne, for recommendations on replacing the MCU with a more robust solution. The Media Center needed a system that offered high-quality, low-latency AV transmissions and was reliable and easy to use.
To address the latency issue, the Media Center worked with its local telecom provider to install dedicated fiber between each sub-center and the central office. Wei’s team deployed an Enne IPE5100 transmitter and Enne IPD5100 receiver at each sub-center, while the central office received one transmitter and six receivers (one for each sub-center). The Enne IPE5100 and IPD5100 integrate with the Dante AV-A platform for low-latency, high-quality video and audio transmission. They support 4K UHD resolution (4Kp60 4:4:4) and enable signal routing. They are compatible with HDCP 2.2/2.3 and can handle LAN and long-distance fiber connections.
Dante AV-A also provides 2×2 channels of independently routable Dante audio that are compatible with Dante-enabled audio products, simplifying distributed AV system design.
