Audinate’s Dante – the AV-over-IP solution– is not just for commercial integrators anymore.
Dante will be introduced to the residential market during CEDIA Expo 2019, and brings with it cost reductions and installation time savings to integrators thanks to the efficiency of leveraging Ethernet cables in lieu of proprietary, single-purpose analog audio cables.
Audinate says Dante provides an easy solution to route audio over long distances without any signal degradation, making it perfect for higher-end residential homes with multi-zone audio setups.
Dante is currently offered in over 2,000 commercially available products from more than 430 manufacturers, all with guaranteed interoperability. This means integrators can pick “best-of-breed” products for their particular installation with confidence that they will all network together seamlessly, while legacy audio gear can be brought onto the network using cost-effective Dante AVIO adapters.
Dante integrates directly with computers using Dante Virtual Soundcard or Dante Via, allowing media streaming applications to playout up to 64 channels of audio using just built-in Ethernet.
