BT 100 AT D

Bluetooth Dante Audio Interface - Decorator-Style Wallplate

The Extron BT 100 AT D is a single-gang decorator-style Bluetooth Dante Audio Interface for integrating Bluetooth devices onto a Dante-enabled audio system. This easy-to-use wall panel allows a Bluetooth-enabled mobile device to serve as the communication interface in a conferencing system while also supporting stereo audio playback from a range of compatible Bluetooth sources. Control of pairing, volume, and playback media is possible from the front panel, RS-232, or the Dante network connection. The BT 100 AT D interfaces with any Dante‑equipped audio processor, such as an Extron DMP Plus Series AT Model, over a standard local area network. It can be powered through PoE, allowing a single network cable connection from a central equipment rack for bidirectional audio, control, and power.

Bluetooth

With the BT 100 AT D, any Bluetooth equipped mobile device can be used for audio conferencing in the system. This can be useful when transferring from an existing cell phone call to the conference room or when it's more convenient to initiate the conference from a cell phone's contact list. The Bluetooth connection can also be used to play back program material from a cell phone or tablet in the room's speaker system.

Dante

With Dante audio networking from Audinate, AV system designers now have an audio network that excels in five important objectives: fidelity, stability, flexibility, ease of implementation, and ease of use. Dante audio networking provides digital audio distribution over local and wide area networking, using standard network hardware or by connecting into a standard network infrastructure. This provides many advantages, including audio system scalability, easier installation, and simplified wiring.

Local or Remote Control

Full control of BT 100 AT D functions is possible via LAN or RS-232 from a connected control system, including device pairing, track skip, and device volume. All functions are additionally controllable from the backlit buttons on the front panel.

Application Diagram

In this conference room, the BT 100 AT D allows the use of a BYOD cell phone as the telephony component of the conferencing system, when needed. At other times, the DMP 64 Plus C V AT provides connectivity into an enterprise VoIP solution. All aspects of the system are controlled from the TLP Pro 1025M touchpanel while audio is routed via Dante. A NetPA U 1002‑70V power amplifier and SF 3CT LP ceiling speakers provide audio playback.
