This device uses Audinate’s Ultimo Chipset, which can receive 4 incoming audio channels, each at 48kHz. However, this chipset can only receive these 4 audio channels from a maximum of 2 network locations (2 different devices). This is common with any manufacturer that uses this chipset.The Glensound Beatrice LH4 provides audio signal present and call indication via a bright LED ‘lighthouse’ tower, providing 360 degrees of visual signalling.
The Beatrice LH4 is ideal for providing cue/ on air indication to presenters and hosts using the standard Dante/AES67 network. The bright lighthouse LED tower can be set to illuminate on receipt of either an audio signal or a Beatrice 20kHz call signal from any of its 4 network audio inputs. Different colours/ brightness can be set by the user to be associated with each channel.
To make it easy to send audible instructions to the users an internal speaker and balanced XLR audio output are also included that through the configuration menu can pass audio from the Dante/AES67 network if required.
The Beatrice LH4 is in a compact unit with a bright lighthouse tower for signalling. There is an onboard configuration screen and it is PoE powered.
Trigger On Audio (Solid Colour)
Each of the 4 channels can be set individually to turn on the Lighthouse LEDs when they receive an audio signal. The length of time that the Lighthouse LEDs stay illuminated after the audio signal drops below its triggering threshold is user configurable.
Trigger On Call (Flash)
Each of the 4 channels can be set individually to flash the Lighthouse LEDs when they receive a Beatrice Call signal. The length of time that the Lighthouse LEDs continue to flash after the call signal has been received is user configurable.
Choice of Colours
Each channel can have its own Lighthouse LED illumination colour set by the user from any of the following colours: Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Purple or Orange.
Two Brightness Levels
To allow the LH4 to work well in your environment there are two preset brightness levels allowing it to be seen in natural daylight and a studio setting.
Four Incoming Channels
The LH4 can receive incoming audio/ call circuits on up to 4 Dante/ AES67 channels. Each channel can have its own colour set to illuminate the lighthouse when it receives a trigger (be that audio or a call).
PLEASE NOTE: The LH4 uses the Ultimo chipset from Audinate and it can receive 4 audio channels but these can only be from a maximum of two network locations.
Tally/ Confidence Dante Audio Output Channel
So that the network location that has originated the call/sent audio to the LH4 can be confident that the LH4 has responded to its command and has turned on the lighthouse LEDs, a network audio output is provided. This output will send a repeating on/off tone when the LEDs are flashing for a call and a steady tone when the LEDs are illuminated for audio presence.The originator then only needs to monitor this outgoing network circuit to know that the LH4 has correctly responded.
Front Panel Display
A small backlight display is incorporated on the front panel to allow the user to access the settings menu. The backlight is only illuminated on this display when in setup mode.
PoE Powered
For ease of installation just one network cable provides both power (PoE) and audio to the LH4.
Internal Loudspeaker
A small loudspeaker is built into the LH4.The 4 incoming audio circuits are mixed together and sent to this loudspeaker with the front panel rotary encoder acting as a volume control. This small loudspeaker can be very useful for sending a verbal instruction to the user of the device. However to prevent accidental operation the internal loudspeaker can also be disabled in the setup menu.
Balanced Audio Output
The 4 incoming audio circuits are mixed together and sent to a balanced analogue output on standard 3 pin XLRs on the rear of the unit. This means that the LH4 could be used as a Dante/ AES67 to analogue converter/ mixer, but this output is more likely be used for sending monitoring audio to the users.
Network Audio Output
In addition to the tally/confidence network output, the audio that is being sent to the balanced analogue output is also duplicated and sent as a network output.
DC Loop Output
This DC loop output (GPO) is fed from an internal open collector. It becomes active when a call is received on any of the 4 channels.

Incremental update to the previous generation
So my old Kindle broke, the same issue as with the last one - screen failure.
And I've tried to buy a new one but Amazon would not ship here. I've tried finding one in an IT&C store, of course, nobody sells Kindles here. So I've bought one from Thailand.
Now here's the thing, the price of a Paperwhite in Thailand is about $250. That's almost double. That's Oasis territory (which is close to $500). And while I love Amazon, I don't want to pay double. Fortunately, found someone selling brand new, sealed Paperwhites for almost the Amazon price.
That being said, what do I think about it?
# I think the contrast is lower and the text is not as easy to read. It's not a big deal though and definitely not a deal breaker.
# The flushed screen is interesting. I hope it protects the screen from breaking. It does reflect light a lot easier though.
# You need a new case compared to the old generations.
# Battery life seems about the same.
# Seems a bit slower than the older PP, although it may be just indexing.
# It is lighter? Seems so?
# There is more of a premium feel to it, more like a tablet.
# Audible playback which I've never used. Heard it consumes battery quite fast.
# Brightness is not as good. At 17 with the old PP, it would be almost overpowering. Here, it is meh. Of course it can go bright enough but the intensity is lowered.
I guess that's all. The Paperwhite is more or less the same since it was first introduced. I have also tried the Oasis but it's too damn expensive in Thailand. At $230, I swear I would have bought it, but at $480 USD, I'll pass. Let's hope this one lasts more than the others. I swear that after 75 - 100 books, every Kindle I own ends up breaking down. Maybe it's my fault but the last one broke down while in a cover, in a safe place.

Best of best… Suitable for hours of reading same as book
Amazon is not there in our country. Physical books also costly with international shipping.
But I love the reading, Previously downloaded eBooks from online websites, but I felt bad, I wanted to pay the author.
Then got to know about Kindle app, and happily purchased eBooks using Amazon and used it in my mobile.
But I feel, reading on screen is not good as reading on a paper….. Then got to know about this device
Ordered using international shipping from amazon.com
Delivered on time and device is best.
Hours of reading without feeling like a watching a screen. Best experience so far.
Feeling like, have wasted 25 years of life without this device. Stir feeling happy, I have much more years to travel with Kindle
Far better than a Kindle app, previously I used the kindle App. This device is better.
No blue lights…
If you love reading, you will love Kindle.
It will be great speed up the refund process of import fee deposit.
Also please consider adding cover for international shipping, Need a cover for kindle
Thank you

Foreign language caveat
I have owned for many years a Kindle, in which I keep now several hundred volumes. A friend gave me the new paperwhite Kindle. The latter is colorless, a drawback when looking at maps and pictures that may accompany the text. Lightweight, however, this new device offers a glare free, fount resizable clear book face that facilitates reading and makes it enjoyable. It does not tire the reader as the old bulky predecessor or holding a volume for hours. I rarely read an entire book, focusing only on the specific information in which I am interested. Novels are pretty much out of my list.
For those who read in several languages, the integrated Priberam Portuguese Dictionary (Dicionário Priberam da Língua Portuguesa, much like the version for Microsoft Word (e.i. FLIP version 10) is a reliable resource. The Priberam English-Portuguese Dictionary, though, is full of errors, often providing supposed translations totally unrelated to the targeted English word. It gives the reader only one single word, without contextual clues. Frequently, it omits available Portuguese equivalent words that one must search in other lexicons such as the trustworthy Priberam Portuguese-English Dictionary at the publisher’s website, or other reliable well-organized dictionaries (e.g. Porto Editora’s Dicionário Escolar English-Portuguese; Larousse Portuguese Dictionary; Collins English Portuguese Dictionary). Mediocre at best, the dictionary integrated with the paperwhite Kindle, obviously, may have been a low cost, poor quality alternative to the absence of such a tool. “Better than nothing”.
For readers who may utilize the dictionary in question, downloading your books to the iPad will allow the utilization of Apple’s far superior dictionary. Unlike the extremely limited version in the Kindle, the iPad tool is accurate and ample, with contextual clues.

Estoy satisfecho, cumple con lo que promete
Compré varias unidades, una para mí y otras dos para otras dos personas con varias semanas de diferencia. Todas las unidades llegaron en buen estado e incluso algunas llegaron varios días antes de lo esperado. La caja estaba bien sellada y en buen estado. A continuación describiré los pros y contras, por si le resultan útiles a alguien, pero en general puedo decir que es un buen producto.
Compré el Kindle principalmente porque no daña los ojos y en mi caso suelo leer a menudo, además ya sea por presupuesto (que los libros digitales son bastante más baratos que los físicos) o por escasez (que hay libros que es muy dificil conseguirlos en formato físico y cuando se encuentran son muy caros) el kindle me permite acceder a más libros con mayor facilidad.
Luego de un par de meses usandolo puedo decir que una de las cosas que más me ha gustado es la duración de la bateria, ya que sí es verdad que puede durar varias semanas con una sola carga. Lo único que le acaba la carga más rápido es cuando lo he usado con audiolibros, ya que se tiene que activar bluetooth y usar con audifonos inalambricos obligatoriamente. Eso sí me parece que deberían cambiarlo, ya que incluso tuve que comprar audífonos nuevos para escuchar audiolibros porque sólo tenía audifonos de cable, y que puede que al kindle le dure bastante la bateria pero si a los audifonos se le acaba entonces tampoco podrás seguir escuchando y los de cable no servirán. Sin embargo aún cuando escucho audiolibros (y tomando en cuenta que les suelo aumentar la velocidad) y a veces le activo el brillo de pantalla, igual sigue durando la bateria varios días.
Tiene brillo de pantalla que se puede controlar según la intensidad que uno necesite, tiene modo oscuro (aunque hace que a veces queden "manchas" en la pantalla por un rato cuando está activo). Algo que me sorprendió cuando me llegó fue su tamaño, pensé que la pantalla era un poco más grande (por eso incluí imagenes al lado de una regla para que se notara el tamaño), esto no es necesariamente malo, ya que al ser pequeño es muy portable, en mi caso a veces lo llevo en el bolso a mi universidad y su tamaño y peso son un gran beneficio. Sin embargo, un problema puede ser para los PDF ya que al no poder cambiar el tamaño de letra sí puede hacer falta una pantalla más grande. Se puede hacer zoom, pero es mucho más incomodo para leer
Tiene capacidad para muchos libros, actualmente tengo alrededor de 150 archivos entre libros y PDF y no he tenido problemas. Los libros que he comprado en la tienda de amazon o que he descargado gratis (la mayoría de los que tengo han sido gratuitos) tiene como ventaja que se pueden personalizar (cambiar tamaño de letra, tipo de letra, tamaño de los margenes, etc.).
En general, es un muy buen producto y estoy contento con él, lo recomiendo para personas que leen mucho o quieren versatilidad a la hora de leer. Las unicas cosas en contra que noté fue el precio, el cual para gente de mi país resulta costoso pero que en este caso al ser de decima generación y comprarlo con descuento quedó mucho más accesible, y el detalle de tener una entrada para audifonos de cable para usarlo no sólo con inalambricos, y en algunos casos la pantalla puede ser un área a favor o en contra. Además, se debe tener en cuenta que sólo incluye el cable de carga pero no el adaptador o la "cabeza" del cargador para conectarlo a corriente, por lo que al menos en mi caso opto por cargarlo conectandolo al computador.
