Audinate announces first Dante AV adapters

A collaboration between Dante AV networking developer Audinate and Analog Devices, Inc (ADI) has resulted in the Dante Embedded Platform (DEP) for ADI’s SHARC audio DSPs. As a result, manufacturers using Analog Devices’ premium SHARC DSPs can now benefit from Dante audio-over-IP as single on-chip software.

By adding DEP to a compact, audio feature-rich and multi-core application processor such as the SHARC ADSP-SC5xx, manufacturers can deliver Dante connectivity with low latency and audio processing. With Dante audio networking already onboard, DEP promotes interoperability with other Dante-enabled. The ADSP-SC5xx offers an ARM Cortex core, up to two high-performance SHARC audio DSPs with high on-chip RAM and audio connectivity peripherals. Additionally, the SHARC DSPs provide an ecosystem of audio processing algorithms enabled by ADI’s Sigma Studio graphical programming environment.

Having partnered with Audinate to deliver the first Dante AV-enabled video-over-IP cameras, Dante AV is now available as part of new solutions from Bolin Technology and Patton Electronics. Heralding a new era of video connectivity over standard 1Gbps networks, the new products are the first commercial offerings in the Dante AV video-over-IP networking platform.

PTZ camera specialist Bolin Technology is now shipping its new D-series of HD and 4K resolution PTZ cameras featuring Dante AV. With Dante AV, Bolin has combined 4K60 video, smooth PTZ movement, low latency and easy interoperability for integration over standard 1Gbps networks. Bolin is also introducing a Dante AV decoder, enabling many AV devices to work with a Dante AV network. As a leading networking and connectivity solutions provider for pro AV and telephony, Patton Electronics is now shipping its FPX6000 series of Dante AV-enabled encoders and decoders. The integration of Dante AV connects network gateways to non-networked AV products such as cameras, monitors and video editing stations.
