The 4 inputs and 4 outputs are via the singe RJ45 network audio connection using Dante. There is a top pane interna mic with an option for an externa gooseneck mic, and a top pane speaker. There are 4 x three position tak switches, and 4 x return audio eve contros. There is aso a oca cue input via XLR. The GS-FW012 ip can connect to any Dante network, or via G s own Dante DARK or AoIP interface units.

2 Network Audio 4 Wire Interface GS-FW012 ip 4 Wire With Dante Interface Features Two Four Wire Circuits The GS-FW012 ip has four takback circuits. The takback buttons for each circuit have 3 positions: - Latching - Momentary push to tak (PTT) - Off Each 4 wire circuit has a pot to set the incoming 4W audio eve. An LED under each pots indicates if audio is present. There is a oca Cue input via rear pane 3 pin XLR. This has its own top pane pot for setting a monitoring eve. The output for each 4W circuit can be set in 3 modes. 4W Output Modes - Off. Audio ony present when takback button pressed. - Loca. The oca input is sent to the output. The takback button interrupts this. - Loop. The 4W input is ooped back to the output. The takback button interrupts this. User Interface There is a top pane microphone and aso a connection for an externa gooseneck microphone. There is a top pane speaker for the return audio (with eve adjust), or monitoring can be by headphones via the 6.35mm headphone socket.

3 Network Audio 4 Wire Interface GS-FW012 ip 4 Wire With Dante Interface Features Network Audio Link The GS-FW012 ip is Dante network audio compatibe. The network connection is via a singe RJ45. This ink carries: - 4 audio inputs - 4 audio outputs - Power over Ethernet (PoE) Audio connections across the network can be to: - Another GS-FW012 ip as a point to point 4W connection - An Express ip Commentary Unit, an Inferno Commentary Unit or a Vita Commentary Unit as part of a takback setup. - An AoIP44, DARK88 or DARK 1616 audio input/output interface - Any other Dante compatibe unit A audio routing is set by the free Dante Controer software. Power The GS-FW012 ip has two possibe power sources. It can be powered via PoE when connected to a compatibe switch, or via the interna VAC suppy.

4 Dante Network Audio Dante Controer Route Audio & Configure Devices On A Dante Network Overview Dante Controer Dante Controer is a free software appication that enabes you to route audio and configure devices on a Dante network.with automatic device discovery, one-cick signa routing and user-editabe device and channe abes, setting up a Dante network coudn t be easier. See the overview for more detai on Dante audio networking. Dante Controer is much more than just a configuration and routing matrix. Dante Controer provides essentia device status information and powerfu rea-time network monitoring, incuding device-eve atency and cock stabiity stats, muticast bandwidth usage, and customized event ogging, enabing you to quicky identify and resove any potentia network issues.you can aso quicky and easiy backup, restore, move, and reuse Dante network configurations using Presets, and edit Dante routing configurations offine. Dante Controer is avaiabe for Windows and Mac OS X. Features View a Dante-enabed audio devices and their channes on the network View and edit device cock and network settings Route audio between devices, and view the state of existing audio routes Rename devices and channes using your own friendy names Customize the receive atency (atency before payout) Save and reappy audio routing presets Edit presets offine, and appy as configurations for new network depoyments Change sampe rates and cock settings View muticast bandwidth across the network View transmit and receive bandwidth for each device View device performance information, incuding atency stats, cock stabiity stats and packet errors View comprehensive, configurabe event ogs

5 Dante Network Audio DANTE The DANTE Audio Network Overview Overview Based on industry standards, Dante is an uncompressed, muti-channe digita media networking technoogy, with near-zero atency and synchronization. Dante is the preferred audio networking soution that has been adopted by more pro-audio AV manufacturers than any other networking technoogy. Interoperabiity is not a dream of the future, but a reaity today. Hundreds of Danteenabed products are avaiabe from the word s eading manufacturers, enabing you to mix devices from mutipe manufacturers. Economica and Versatie One cabe does it a. Dante does away with heavy, expensive anaog or muticore cabing, repacing it with ow-cost, easiy-avaiabe CAT5e, CAT6, or fiber optic cabe for a simpe, ightweight, and economica soution. Dante integrates media and contro for your entire system over a singe, standard IP network. Dante systems can easiy scae from a simpe pairing of a consoe to a computer, to arge capacity networks running thousands of audio channes. Because Dante uses ogica routes instead of physica point-to-point connections, the network can be expanded and reconfigured at any time with just a few mouse cicks. Outstanding Quaity Since audio is transmitted digitay, you don t have to worry about the common anaogue chaenges of interference from other eectrica equipment, crosstak between cabes, or signa degradation over ong cabe runs. Easy To Insta Setting up Dante networks coudn t be easier. You no onger have to shudder when considering the depoyment of an audio network. Even the most compex networks can be set up and configured quicky and easiy with Dante, making system integration simpe. Dante automaticay handes the technica compexities for you. Signa routing and system configuration with Dante is fast, simpe, and incrediby fexibe. Dante Controer is a powerfu software appication that manages devices on the network. Setting up a Dante network is typicay just a matter of pugging devices into an Ethernet switch and connecting a computer to the network. A Dante devices are automaticay discovered and dispayed in Dante Controer, so you can be up and running in seconds. channes; muticast sends an audio stream to mutipe devices simutaneousy.

6 Dante Network Audio DANTE The DANTE Audio Network Overview Overview (cont...) Easy to Use With Dante Controer you can easiy edit device names and channe abes, contro sampe rates, and set device atencies. There is no onger any need to remember device IDs or channe numbers. Instead, a singe audio channe is referred to just ike an emai address: studio or vobootha. Set it and forget it. Once the network is configured, the computer running Dante Controer can be removed from the network, and reconnected ony if changes are required or system monitoring is desired. Signa routing and other system settings are stored safey in the Dante devices themseves, so they are automaticay restored if a device is power-cyced. Network Heath and Management Rea-time information about the heath of your network is essentia for a proper understanding of its performance. There are a rich suite of diagnostic toos within Dante Controer, providing visibiity into the network heath status through features such as device atency monitoring, active cock heath monitoring, packet error reporting, and bandwidth usage statistics. Gitch-Free Redundancy Many Dante-enabed devices support 'gitch free' redundancy, enabing a secondary physica network to be provided, dupicating the audio traffic on the primary network. This automaticay prevents any audio oss or interruption in the event of a connectivity probem on the primary network. Unicast or Muticast Dante audio channes can be configured as unicast or muticast as appropriate, to make best use of avaiabe bandwidth. Unicast provides a direct point-to-point stream for unique channes; muticast sends an audio stream to mutipe devices simutaneousy. Fuy Integrated with Windows and Mac OS X With Dante Virtua Soundcard, your computer becomes a Dante audio interface for mutitrack recording and media payback, using the computer s existing Ethernet port no additiona hardware is required. Digita Audio Workstations, software-based media payers, Skype, itunes, Pandora, Spotify and other appications are easiy integrated into your network via Dante Virtua Soundcard. 6 Brooks Pace, Maidstone, Kent, ME14 1HE, UK Te: +44 (0) Emai: saes@g.co.uk
