Solid State Logic is debuting a compact, standalone converter at NAB 2026 that bridges two of broadcast audio's most widely used IP formats in a single box.
If you’re running Dante and ST 2110 in the same building, and plenty of broadcast facilities are, you’ve probably been waiting for something like this.
Solid State Logic is taking the wraps off the Net I/O ST 2110 Bridge at NAB 2026, a new standalone converter designed to translate between SMPTE ST 2110 and Dante in a single 1RU chassis. Crucially, it’s not tied to any specific console or ecosystem, meaning it can slot into virtually any broadcast audio setup regardless of what’s already installed.

The unit comes in two-channel configurations, 256 or 512 channels, with the 256-channel version upgradeable to 512 channels retrospectively if your needs grow. That model also adds an optional sample rate converter. Both versions include redundancy for the media networks and power supply, which matters in a live broadcast environment where downtime simply isn’t on the table.
Beyond the conversion itself, the Bridge supports NMOS IS-04 discovery and registration and IS-05 device connection management, making integration into larger networked facilities considerably less painful.
SSL Broadcast Product Manager Berny Carpenter stated, “Dante is already well established for audio applications, but ST 2110 is rapidly being implemented for wider production, including video and data as well as audio. Both have their respective benefits. This means it is likely that the two formats are being used simultaneously within the same broadcast centre, so it is critical that there is a fast and efficient way of converting signals from one to the other.”
Compatible with all new SSL System T setups, the Bridge can also be retrofitted into existing installations. It can also be used as a completely standalone device between third-party sources and consoles. For those already deep in the System T ecosystem, SSL has simultaneously announced that native ST 2110 connectivity for System T is now shipping, offering up to 2048 channels from a starting point of 256, with support for ST 2110-30 levels A, B and C, ST 2022-7, NMOS IS-04 and IS-05, and both fibre and copper connections.
SSL will be running live demonstrations throughout NAB 2026 at booth C6907. For more information, head to SSL.
