Bettear B-CASTER-XD Auracast Transmitter with Dante Interface - White

The CASTER XD is a professional Auracast™ streamer that takes its audio over Dante®, with a switchable internal or external antenna for tuning RF coverage to the room.

Both LAN ports run in Bridged mode — Dante® and control together, for daisy-chaining — or in Isolated mode, one port for each. Managed from the built-in web panel or Hive Central.

Built for real-world deployments, it enables crystal-clear high-quality, low-latency audio broadcasting to unlimited listeners - from theaters and classrooms to museums and transportation hubs.

Flexible by design, CASTER supports both open and secure broadcasts, making it suitable for everyday use as well as sensitive and confidential environments.

With PoE in and PoE out, it enables clean installations and seamless cascading of power, audio, and control over Ethernet - combined with centralized management via Hive Central.

 

Suitable for cinemas, museums, music venues, classrooms, courtrooms, sports arenas, airports, houses of worship, and more.

 

Seamless Network Expansion: Seamlessly expand your Auracast™ network to cover larger distance or to increase audio stream capacity over a single Ethernet connection.

Control System Integration via API: Integrate CASTER with third-party control systems for seamless synchronization with control panels, calendars, and more.

Bridged or Isolated Networking (Dante®): Run CASTER XD your way. In Bridged mode, both LAN ports carry Dante® and control, so units daisy-chain with a single cable run. In Isolated mode, Dante® and Bettear control each get their own port, keeping audio and management on fully separate networks.
