Audinate Adds Video to Dante with the All-New Dante AV Module

Dante AV brings Dante’s legendary ease-of-use, unified control and
tight synchronization to distribution of audio and video over standard IP
networks

PORTLAND, Ore., – Audinate, developer of the
industry-leading Dante® audio networking technology, has announced Dante AV™, a first-of-its-kind integrated audio and video-over-IP solution
for manufacturers. Dante AV is a complete integrated audio and video networking
solution, bringing to video all the benefits that have made Dante the market-leading
audio over IP solution: discovery, ease-of-use and integrated control. Dante AV
enables complete interoperability with more than 1600 Dante-enabled audio
products already on the market.

Dante AV solves problems of networked video and audio synchronization,
utilizing a single network clock for sub-microsecond accuracy. With Dante AV,
audio and video signals are independently routable in a single, easy-to-use
interface using the Dante Controller software. Manufacturers can also take
advantage of Dante API to customize their management user interface. 
Dante AV solves time alignment issues and eliminates the need for audio
de-embedders in applications such as sports bars, live events and multi-zoned
AV systems for perfect lip sync everywhere.

The Dante AV Module supports one video channel and 8
bi-directional channels of uncompressed Dante audio. The Dante AV Module is
ideal for manufacturers creating 1G video-over-IP products and includes Dante
control, transport and synchronization. The architecture is completely
codec-agnostic, so manufacturers can use the codec of their choice and still
get the benefits of Dante.

The Dante AV Module is available with the Dante AV Product Design
Suite, providing a complete AV-over-IP endpoint product design for manufacturers
that wish to quickly get a product to market. The Product Design Suite
incorporates the Dante AV Module and includes a comprehensive set of hardware
documents and software to create complete, fully interoperable AV products
quickly and reliably. The Dante AV Product Design Suite includes a JPEG2000
codec supporting 4K/60 4:4:4 video for visually lossless results with low
latency over a 1Gbps network. Dante AV Product Design Suite also implements
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) to prevent copying of digital
audio & video content as it travels across connections. The Dante AV
Product Suite can be easily customized to suit an OEM’s specific requirements
and provide competitive differentiation.

“Customers want us to bring the “V to AV,” says Lee Ellison, CEO
of Audinate. “With Dante AV, we are excited to make that a reality. The Dante
AV Module and the Dante AV Product Design Suite will enable manufacturers to
quickly get integrated audio and video products to market, with all of the
benefits Dante has to offer. With Dante AV, we’re taking everything we’ve
learned from years in networked audio to the video world, and delivering on our
vision of a truly integrated, easy to use and interoperable AV
experience.” 

The Dante AV Module will be showcased at Integrated Systems Europe
2019 in Amsterdam and will be commercially available to manufacturers in
mid-2019. More information can be found by visiting www.audinate.com/dante-av
