NTP Debuts Penta 721s Compact Dante
Multiformat Converter and Router Series
N

TP Technology's Enterpriseclass Penta family of versatile,
flexible and feature-packed digital
audio multiformat converter/routers
has expanded with three new compact
models. Developed to bring Penta
solutions to specific applications
including broadcast and AV Install,
the cost-effective 1RU Penta 721s,
721s-DNT and 721s-SDI allow multiple
audio formats to co-exist with Dante
networks.
All Penta 721s units offer over 400
connection and configuration options,
seamlessly bridging AES, MADI and
AES67-compliant Dante I/O with
an onboard 512 x 512 router. The
Penta 721s model has an open slot
accommodating any of seven Penta I/O
option cards which include additional
AES, dual MADI, analogue input,
analogue output, speaker DSP and
delay for lip-sync processing modules
that can be purchased as best suits a
given application. For A/V, the new
Crestron Module™ offers associability

to routing and volume of all individual
channels. NTP Technology's DAD and
Penta hardware is aligned around
its DADman software, where control
becomes fluid and transparent,
including interleaving NTP solutions to
expand AVID MTRX and MTRX Studio
I/O (both built for AVID by NTP with
DADman control) and also providing
monitor control and I/O capability to
AVID Dock, S1, S4 and S6 consoles, via
the EUCON™ 3 protocol.
The Penta 721s-DNT is a Dante-to-

Penta 721s (option cards)

Dante converter with onboard sample
rate conversion on all inputs, which
makes it ideal for connecting individual
IP Audio networks that may run on
different sample rates and digital
clocks. While all 721s models natively
include Dante connectivity in the form
of a 64-channel Brooklyn II module,
the 721s-DNT model is pre-fitted
with the Penta 128-channel Dante
module, also with onboard sample rate
conversion in and out.

The Penta 721s-SDI adds Dual 3G
SDI embedding / de-embedding to the
package and is ideal for broadcasters
with the need for combining SDI
signals with Dante, MADI or AES. The
SDI side of the model also has built-in
sample rate conversion.
"The new Penta 721s models build on
the legacy of the modular Penta 720
unit, which has proven its reliability in
countless enterprise audio solutions
throughout the world," says Mikael
Vest, Sales Director, NTP Technology.
The new Penta 721s models,
bringing affordable, Enterprise-level
multiformat conversion and routing
to a broader range of applications
where the full flexibility of the Penta
720 is not required, will be available
worldwide in October 2020.
All NTP products come with a twoyear warranty, extended to three years
upon product registration.
