The Dante AV Module officially debuted at ISE 2019 in Amsterdam and will be commercially available to manufacturers in mid-2019.
Well known as the developer of the Dante audio networking technology, Audinate finally adds video with Dante AV, a video-over-IP solution for manufacturers.
As the first 1G standard for AV-over-IP, it’s only rival is the AV-over-IP standard for 10G, the SDVoE Alliance platform.
The Dante AV Module supports one video channel and 8 bi-directional channels of uncompressed Dante audio. The Dante AV Module is capable of sending video (up to 4K 3840×2160) over a 1G network (800 Mbps recommended maximum bit rate) and includes control, transport and synchronization.
The architecture is codec-agnostic so manufacturers can use the codec of their choice and still get the benefits of Dante. With Dante AV, both signals route via a single interface (using the Dante Controller software). With Dante API, you can customize their user interface.
The Dante AV Module is available with the Dante AV Product Design Suite. The Product Design Suite incorporates the Dante AV Module and includes a set of hardware documents and software to create complete interoperable AV products quickly.
This design suite includes a JPEG2000 codec supporting 4K/60 4:4:4 video, “visually lossless” with low latency over a 1Gbps network. It also implements HDCP for copyright protection.
