Audinate adds video to Dante networks with the new AV module

Dante AV offers ease of use, Unified control and tight Dante synchronization for audio and video distribution over standard IP networks.

Network audio technology developer Dante, Audinate, has announced the launch of Dante AV, a complete and integrated audio and video network solution that offers all the advantages that have made Dante an audio over IP standard.

This Audinate solution enables complete interoperability with more than 1.600 Dante-enabled audio products already on the market. Resolves network audio and video synchronization issues, using a single network clock for an accuracy of less than one microsecond. With Dante AV, audio and video signals can be routed independently in a single, easy-to-use interface using Dante's control software. Manufacturers can also leverage their API to customize the management user interface.

Dante AV solves time alignment problems and eliminates the need for audio embezbers in applications such as sports bars, live events and multi-zone AV systems. This module supports a video channel and 8 uncompressed Dante two-way audio channels.

The Dante AV module is ideal for manufacturers creating 1G video over IP products and includes control, Dante transport and synchronization. Architecture is codec agnostic, so manufacturers can use the codec of their choice and still enjoy the advantages of Dante.

The product design package incorporates the Dante AV module and includes a complete set of hardware and software documents to create fully interoperable AV products quickly and reliably. Includes a JPEG2000 codec that supports 4K/60 video 4:4:4 for lossless, low-latency visual results on a 1 Gbps.

Dante AV Product Design Suite also implements HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) to prevent copying digital audio and video content while traveling through connections.

The Dante AV product suite can be easily customized to suit the specific requirements of OEMs and provide competitive differentiation.

“With Dante AV Module and the Dante AV Product Design Suite manufacturers will be able to quickly launch integrated audio and video products to the market, with all the advantages offered by Dante. With Dante AV, we bring everything we've learned over the years in network audio to the world of video and offer our vision of a truly integrated AV experience, easy to use and interoperable", says Lee Ellison, CEO of Audinate.
