Audinate’s tradition of creating innovative and cutting-edge solutions continues, with the introduction of Dante HC™, the industry’s highest-capacity networked audio solution for professional AV systems. Dante HC supports up to 512x512 redundant bi-directional uncompressed audio channels on a single Xilinx™ FPGA. Dante HC expands Audinate’s broad portfolio of audio networking platforms, which OEMs can build upon to create cost effective AV products.
The Dante HC reference design is ideal for AV equipment products requiring high channel capacity, such as audio matrix routers, large format consoles, public address and evacuation systems and large scale DSPs.
Dante HC is a comprehensive reference design product that includes all the tools and resources required to rapidly integrate Dante into the AV manufacturer’s products, allowing high capacity networked products or Dante interface blades to be built. Applications include real-time streaming for broadcast, commercial installation, live sound, public address, intercoms and transportation communications deployments.
Scalability with Flexibility: Dante facilitates the rapid convergence of AV and IT, eliminating the limitations imposed by point-to-point cabling. Even digital point-to-point legacy audio signal distribution technologies such as AES3, TDIF, ADAT and MADI have disadvantages, in that they require separate wiring, increasing the cost of deployments. With Dante, audio is converted to digital audio over IP Ethernet packets, allowing audio signals to be software-routed over standard IP networks. Dante systems can easily scale from a simple pairing of a console to a computer, to large capacity networks running thousands of audio channels. One cable does it all. Dante does away with heavy, expensive analog or multicore cabling, replacing it with low-cost, readily available CAT5e, CAT6, or fiber optic cable for a simple, lightweight, and economical solution. Dante integrates media and control for your entire system over a single, standard IP network.
Simplified Signal Routing: High capacity does not mean high complexity. Audio routing and device configuration in Dante is made incredibly simple with Dante Controller, a free software application that automatically discovers all endpoints within seconds, and enables endpoint-to-endpoint channel connectivity with a single click. Because Dante uses logi
