PEER & UNITE
Anubis being a network audio interface brings you even more flexibility than conventional USB or Thunderbolt audio interfaces. Adding AoIP devices over your network is much more than conventional Daisy-Chaining. Included in all missions are tools that allows the user to Expand, Monitor, Mix and Route any I/O anywhere over your network with quick and simple solutions. What’s even better is that all this can be done from a single Anubis and even be in operation with standalone devices
interconnected.

With the Anubis Peering feature you are a finger tap away from expanding your Anubis I/O’s. UNITE is an automatic AoIP Stream patching feature included in our Drivers that allows a user to quickly connect I/O streams between the Anubis and the System/Driver without the need for any AoIP knowledge or additional application. With UNITE, connect your devices I/O streams and be operational quickly in a click!
