NTP Technology AoIP expansion card adds 128-channel ST 2110-30 support
NTP Technology has launched a new 128-channel ST 2110-30-RAVENNA expansion card for its Thunder Core, Penta, and AX32 audio interfaces. The card provides AES67 and RAVENNA compatibility to support IP-based broadcast workflows, including routing, monitoring, and sample-rate conversion.
Key Takeaways
- New expansion card supports 128 channels of audio-over-IP for broadcast and live audio applications.
- Internal routing matrix handles up to 1,872 x 1,872 non-blocking connections depending on configuration.
- Hardware includes a 64-channel bus summing system integrated with Pro Mon monitoring functionality.
- Digital Audio Denmark card will debut at IBC 2026 in Amsterdam at stand 8.B61.
Why It Matters
This launch provides a critical bridge for broadcasters migrating to ST 2110-30 standards without replacing existing high-end converters. By integrating AES67 and RAVENNA into the Penta and AX32 series, NTP Technology ensures its hardware remains central to modern IP-based production environments that require high-density channel counts. This move aligns with the broader industry shift toward software-defined networking where hardware must support multiple interoperable audio formats. Watch for adoption rates among Tier 1 broadcasters during the IBC 2026 exhibition to gauge the demand for 128-channel density in remote-controlled preamp setups.
Additional Context
The industry is seeing a rapid transition toward specialized silicon architectures to handle the increased processing demands of high-density IP audio and video workflows. This shift is further supported by new SDI to IP broadcast transitions tools that simplify complex network configurations. For related audio-over-IP developments, the Sennheiser Spectera wireless ecosystem also recently introduced new ST 2110-30 modules to expand interoperability, while broader IP production infrastructure continues to face challenges as channel density increases. Broadcasters are increasingly looking to adopt ST-2110 and REMI to streamline these complex multi-platform workflows.
