AVPro Edge (www.avproedge.com) has introduced an MXnet Evolution II encoder (model AC-MXNET-1G-DANTE-EV2), an MXnet Evolution II decoder (model AC-MXNET-1G-DANTE-DV2), and an MXnet Evolution II wall plate encoder (model AC-MXNET-1G-EV2WP). These new models increase installation efficiency and flexibility by adding compatibility with Dante audio to the enhanced video quality of MXnet Evolution II, providing integrators with critical endpoint options while simultaneously consolidating wiring paths.
AVPro Edge Introduces Dante Encoder, Decoder, and an Encoder
Wall Plate for the MXnet Evolution II Ecosystem
Expanded MXnet Evolution II lineup adds Dante audio encoding and decoding capability plus a full-featured wall plate encoder, providing integrators with improved installation efficiency and flexible endpoint options.
Our objective with these new MXnet EV2 solutions was to assist our integration partners who
deploy Dante audio, but send the data across an independent network,” explained Matt Murray,
CTO at AVPro Edge. “Integrators appreciate the exceptional quality of the MXnet ecosystem,
and the addition of these Dante endpoints effectively simplifies long cable runs into singledestination endpoint routes, enabling integrators to use these devices as break-out bridges,
leapfrogging encoded signals closer to the Dante devices in the system.
MXnet Evolution II Encoder and Decoder Solutions
Installations that systematically deploy Dante audio but segregate it to an independent network
can now simplify long-haul transport cabling to a single endpoint. Dante streams are ferried from
the EV2 encoder to any EV2 decoder endpoint, bringing encoded signals closer to Dante
devices. As an example, Dante-enabled amplifiers can be strategically located physically closer
to the speaker systems they will power, potentially overcoming Dante’s 100-meter Category
cable distance threshold while also minimizing the length required for analog speaker wire.
Dante-equipped self-amplified speakers may also take advantage of merged centralized stream
routes. Creative application of these new MXnet EV2 devices will result in significant material
and labor savings for system deployments.

MXnet Evolution II Wall Plate
The AC-MXNET-1G-EV2WP is an MXnet Evolution II encoder with selectable switching between HDMI and USB-C inputs packaged in an elegant, low-profile, PoE-powered wall plate. Similar in function to the model AC-MXnet-1G EV2, system encoding may now be placed where it is most convenient. A/V signals are converted into precision multicast data packets, routed to any or all system decoders via Category 6A cable tethered to an MXnet PoE network switch.
