LINDY 2-Channel HDMI ARC to Dante Audio Encoder, PoE-Powered, Aluminium Housing 70620

In a modern conference room, a presenter connects a smart TV to the building's Dante audio network using the LINDY 70620. This compact encoder extracts the TV's HDMI ARC audio and converts it into two channels of Dante digital audio, allowing the TV's sound to be routed to ceiling speakers, recording systems, or assistive listening devices with perfect synchronization.

Key specifications

• Converts 2-channel HDMI ARC audio to Dante® audio over IP
• Audinate Ultimo chipset for reliable, low-latency networking
• Gigabit Ethernet port with PoE (IEEE 802.3af Class 1) or USB-C power
• Supports 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz sampling rates at 24-bit
• Aluminium housing with integrated mounting brackets
• LED indicators for power, link/activity, and ARC status

Why choose it

This encoder bridges the gap between consumer HDMI ARC and professional Dante audio systems without extra converters or power supplies. PoE support means a single network cable carries both data and power, simplifying installation in ceilings, behind displays, or in equipment racks. The robust metal enclosure ensures durability in fixed installations.

Ideal use cases

• Integrating smart TV audio into a Dante-enabled conference room or classroom
• Distributing TV sound to multiple zones in bars, restaurants, or retail spaces
• Connecting a display's ARC output to a digital signal processor (DSP) for advanced processing
• Adding HDMI ARC capability to existing Dante audio networks

Good to know

Configuration is done via Audinate Dante Controller software, allowing flexible routing and low-latency settings. The unit consumes less than 2W, making it energy-efficient for always-on applications. It complies with CE, FCC, RoHS, and REACH standards.
