This Turtle AV TAV-DDB Dante Domain Bridge provides a simple, secure way to connect two separate Dante networks without compromising isolation.
Designed for critical interconnects and essential audio feeds, the compact unit delivers up to 8×8 channels in both directions simultaneously-32 channels of total throughput-while maintaining the integrity of each domain.
With support for AES67 streams, customizable device and channel names, and a small, rack-friendly footprint, it integrates easily into professional AV, broadcast, and installation environments.
Real-Time Conversion and Interoperability: The Dante Domain Bridge features built-in sample rate conversion up to 96 kHz / 24-bit, allowing networks operating at different sample rates to communicate seamlessly.
It also supports AES67 audio streams, enabling standards-based interoperability between compatible sources and destinations within Dante systems.
Redundant Networking and Power: Built for reliability, the unit supports Dante network redundancy with both primary and secondary connections on each side of the bridge.
Dual PoE inputs provide power redundancy, and adding the locking DC connector enables triple-power protection for mission-critical applications.
The included 1-RU rack kit allows the device to be used as a standalone unit or mounted in a standard 19" rack, while TAA compliance ensures suitability for U.S. government procurement.
TAA Compliant: Turtle AV products, sold by HDTV Supply, and sold in the USA are TAA compliant, meeting U.S. government standards for procurement.
This ensures they can be confidently used in federal contracts, adhering to strict ethical sourcing and manufacturing regulations.

What is the Turtle AV TAV-DDB Dante Domain Bridge?
A: The Turtle AV TAV-DDB is a Dante Domain Bridge designed to connect and manage audio traffic between separate Dante network domains.
It is intended for professional networked audio installations where Dante systems need controlled interoperability across network boundaries.
What is the purpose of a Dante Domain Bridge?
A: A domain bridge provides a controlled connection between separate Dante network segments or domains.
This can help integrators isolate portions of a network while still allowing compatible audio streams to communicate between the required areas.
Does the TAV-DDB support sample rate conversion?
A: Yes, the Dante Domain Bridge includes sample rate conversion for compatible networked audio streams.
This allows systems operating at different supported sample rates to communicate without requiring every endpoint to operate at exactly the same rate.
Does it support AES67?
A: Yes, the TAV-DDB supports AES67 interoperability for compatible networked audio workflows.
AES67 support can help integrate standards-based audio streams with compatible Dante environments where interoperability is required.
Does the bridge provide network redundancy?
A: The TAV-DDB is designed for professional installations and provides redundant network connectivity for increased resilience.
Redundant network paths can help maintain audio transport if a primary network connection encounters a fault, subject to the complete network design.
Does it provide power redundancy?
A: The bridge supports redundant power arrangements for installations where continuous operation is important.
Using independent power sources can reduce the risk of a single power-supply failure interrupting networked audio service.
Can two Dante domains use different sample rates?
A: With supported sample rate conversion, the bridge can facilitate communication between Dante environments operating at different compatible rates.
This is useful when integrating audio systems that cannot be configured to one common sample rate.
What applications suit a Dante Domain Bridge?
A: Applications include large corporate AV systems, broadcast facilities, live production, campuses, venues, and distributed networked audio installations.
It is particularly useful when separate audio networks need controlled interoperability without merging every device into one unrestricted domain.
Can it be used with AES67 audio networks?
A: Yes, compatible AES67 streams can participate in the supported interoperability workflow.
This can extend the usefulness of the bridge in mixed standards-based network audio environments.
Why use the TAV-DDB instead of directly joining networks?
A: A dedicated domain bridge provides a structured point for connecting separate Dante environments and managing interoperability requirements.
This can improve network segmentation, simplify system architecture, and provide a more controlled approach to connecting larger professional audio networks.
