OVERVIEW
The Glensound Vita is a single user commentary box designed to connect to a Dante
audio network. The Vita provides a single user headphone and microphone interface
with a single talkback circuit in a compact belt pack format. A very high quality
microphone amplifier and compressor/limiter circuit are used in the Vita designed
specifically for the specialist requirements of commentators’ equipment.
The audio inputs and outputs of the Inferno are Dante network audio circuits. Dante
network audio is a common protocol for distributing high quality linear audio over
standard IP networks and it is widely used by many audio equipment manufacturers.
The Glensound Vita’s Dante audio interface will be compatible with any other
manufacturers’ Dante audio interface.
Network audio routing is managed by the Dante Controller software. Further details
of Dante network audio and the Dante Controller software can be found at
www.audinate.com
Being designed for live on-air broadcast applications the Glensound Vita has been
designed with backup power capabilities. It can be powered via the CAT5 connection
with PoE or via a local external DC connection.

PANEL LAYOUT & FUNCTIONS
PLEASE NOTE AS THE UNIT IS CONFIGURABLE IT IS POSIBLE TO CHANGE THE OPERATION
OF SOME OF THE CONTROLS SHOWN HERE. THEREFORE THE FOLLOWING IS MEANT AS A
GUIDE ONLY.
1. Source Level Controls
These two potentiometers adjust the headphone volume of the two input circuits
being received from the Dante network.
2. Input Routing Controls
Left-Both-Right headphone routing. This control routes the associated headphone
source to either the left only right only or both (centre) of the commentator’s
headphones.
3. Program/Talkback Switches
The 2 round talkback switches route the commentator’s mic to the output of the Vita
i.e. channels 1 or 2 of the Dante network.
The operation of these talkback switches (momentary latching intelligent etc) can
be set using Vita Controller software (see page 11).
4. Sidetone Level Control
The feedback pot and talkback switch are also used to adjust the audio level of the
commentators’ microphone in their own headphones. It has no effect on the outgoing
audio level and is used just for confidence monitoring.
To adjust the sidetone level hold down the talkback button whilst adjusting the
feedback pot to the desired level.
