Audinate, a leading provider of audio-over-IP technology, has announced significant enhancements to its flagship product, Dante. These updates are designed to strengthen Dante's role in bridging audio and video workflows across modern broadcast networks.
The updates simplify setup for smaller or fast-paced environments by allowing core configuration tasks to be completed directly in Dante Controller. This streamlined approach ensures that the updates do not sacrifice performance or ease of use.
Broadcast teams can now manage ST 2110-30 and AES67 audio flows more flexibly, whether in mobile units or multi-facility operations, using Dante Controller. The latest updates from Audinate expand support for SMPTE ST 2110-30 and AES67 to improve Dante integration in IP-based broadcast networks, a move that was first implemented in 2023.
Dante now supports ST 2110-30 AX, BX, and CX conformance levels, ensuring interoperability with systems and equipment operating at higher sample rates. New device-level configuration capabilities have been added to extend Dante's utility in broadcast environments.
Features such as assigning flows within a broader multicast address range, defining custom RTP payload IDs, and specifying PTPv2 clock DSCP values have been introduced. These updates help ensure compatibility and interoperability between Dante and ST 2110-based video systems and networks.
The new device-level configuration capabilities aim to improve Dante's compatibility with third-party devices and support a wider variety of network designs. As broadcast networks and production needs continue to evolve, Audinate remains focused on extending Dante's capabilities to meet real-world demands.
The updates also equip broadcasters with new tools for modern production workflows. For instance, Dante now supports 96 kHz audio, meeting the demands of high-fidelity production workflows such as music programming, immersive audio, and live event capture.
Interoperability has always been central to Audinate's approach. These enhancements are designed to improve compatibility with third-party devices, support a wider variety of network designs, and provide long-term flexibility as systems scale and evolve.
It's worth noting that Dante is already widely used as the backbone for audio over IP in broadcast environments. For larger or more complex systems, Dante Domain Manager is still available, allowing for automation, global policy application, and coordination across subnets.
These updates mark a significant step forward in Audinate's mission to strengthen Dante's integration with broadcast networks, providing broadcasters with the tools they need to adapt to the ever-changing landscape of modern production workflows.
