Turtle Domain Bridge
Connects separate Dante networks while keeping them isolated. It allows audio to pass securely between different Dante domains, supports sample rate conversion between networks running at different settings, and provides redundancy for mission-critical installations. Typical use cases include connecting broadcast, corporate, or venue audio networks without merging them completely.
Mineola Range
A family of Dante audio bridges and I/O devices designed to bring analog audio into Dante networks and vice versa. Available in multiple channel counts (2x2 through 16x16), Mineola products are intended for scalable audio transport, routing, and integration in live sound, installed AV, and production environments.
Downtown
A multichannel immersive audio encoder that converts formats like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and multichannel PCM into individual Dante streams. It enables immersive audio content to be distributed, routed, mixed, or processed across networked audio systems while maintaining compatibility with modern AV workflows.
Darwin Control
A control platform for managing AV-over-IP systems built around compressed video transport using H.265. Darwin products are designed for network-based video distribution where bandwidth efficiency and scalable deployment are priorities.
Bluetooth Adapters
Convert Bluetooth audio sources into Dante streams, allowing wireless devices like smartphones, tablets, or laptops to feed audio directly into networked audio systems. These adapters simplify wireless audio integration without requiring dedicated analog connections.
USB Extenders
Extend USB connectivity over longer distances than standard USB cables allow, often alongside video transport. These products are typically used where cameras, peripherals, touchscreens, or conferencing equipment need to be located far from host computers.
Wall Plates
Network-connected wall-mounted audio interfaces that bring Dante connectivity directly into rooms and meeting spaces. These provide convenient connection points for audio inputs, outputs, or Bluetooth connectivity without requiring rack-mounted hardware nearby.
CHAZY Range
The Chazy range is essentially Turtle AV’s Dante AV-over-IP platform, focused on moving video, audio, USB and control signals across standard networks while integrating directly with Dante workflows.
CHAZY 4K Dante AV-A
Moves video, audio, USB, and control signals across networks using Dante AV
The core AV transport platform. Chazy 4K encoders and decoders convert video sources into Dante AV streams so they can be distributed over standard IP networks. They support 4K60 video, embedded audio, USB, and control signals, making them suitable for video distribution, meeting spaces, classrooms, digital signage and production environments. The platform supports HDMI and USB-C source inputs, multicast distribution, video walls, KVM functionality, and sub-frame latency.
CHAZY TX (Transmitters / Encoders)
Turns local video sources into network streams.
These are the devices that take source signals — such as laptops, media players, cameras, or PCs and encode them into Dante AV streams for network transport. Available variants include HDMI-only and USB-C/HDMI transmitters.
CHAZY RX (Receivers / Decoders)
Turns network streams back into usable AV outputs
Receivers sit at the destination side of the network and decode Dante AV streams back into HDMI video, audio, USB and control outputs for displays, projectors, or endpoints. Multiple receivers can subscribe to the same stream for scalable distribution.
CHAZY Control Pro
Provides routing, automation, and centralised management for Dante AV systems.
A hardware-based management platform that acts as a control layer for Chazy systems and Dante routing. It embeds Dante Controller functionality directly into hardware, allowing routing, presets, automation, scheduling, grouping, API control, and third-party integration without requiring a dedicated PC. It also provides integration with control ecosystems such as Q-SYS and Crestron.
Video Wall / Multiview Integration
Enables large-format display systems and multi-screen distribution.
The Chazy ecosystem also supports large-scale video distribution use cases such as video walls and multi-view deployments, allowing multiple streams to be combined, scaled and routed across displays.
