New capability allows manufacturers to expose key device control parameters through the cloud using Dante, enabling new product deployment and recovery options for end users and integrators.
PORTLAND, Oregon — Audinate Group Limited (ASX:AD8), developer of the professional AV-industry-leading Dante® AV-over-IP solution, is proud to introduce Dante Device Link, a new technology for manufacturers that extends device configuration options to the world’s largest ecosystem of interoperable AV devices.
Dante Device Link is an extensible connector for devices. Parameters such as gain, equalizer settings, phantom power enablement, fault detection and more can be managed through Dante Director, a cloud-based Dante network management software. This allows manufacturers to broaden options for powerful device configuration, as well as meeting objectives for cloud-based management tools. As the Dante Device Link ecosystem matures, this will enable:
- Scene-based system configurations, allowing Dante rooms to be swapped between presets, simplifying system versatility.
- Configuration templates, allowing routing and AV settings to be replicated throughout common room configurations, accelerating system deployment.
- Recovery or replacement of AV system configurations in the case of system outages or device failures, reducing downtime.
“Extending these new controls to manufacturers further demonstrates Audinate’s commitment to enhance the AV experience through our interoperable cloud-enhanced ecosystem for all Dante device manufacturers,” said Mark Gerrard, Group Product Manager at Audinate. “Dante Device Link encompasses solutions for new and emerging Dante products and can be easily adopted by manufacturers with current custom software deployments to the Dante Managed API.”
By utilizing Dante Device Link, manufacturers can take advantage of Audinate’s investment in cloud-based AV device management and extend new functionality to customers. For manufacturers who may not want to build bespoke and isolated management tools, this offers a convenient way to adopt a cloud-based strategy. For manufacturers who have already built cloud toolsets, Audinate’s cloud service features from Dante Director are easily integrated using an available API.
Audinate is proud to announce that Audio-Technica US, Elytone, Focusrite, SoundTube, Stewart Audio, Studio Technologies and Yamaha have signed-on as early adopters of this technological advancement. Select devices from these manufacturers will be the first to support advanced control and management features.
As the ecosystem of devices with the features enabled by Dante Device Link grows, integrators and end users will be able to fully take advantage of these new configuration management abilities.
See Dante Device Link in action with devices from select partners at InfoComm Booth #3311 Orlando, FL, June 11-13, to learn how this latest innovation provides new device-level configuration options to manufacturers, enabling new product deployment and recovery options for end users and integrators.
