Iyuno’s global headquarters in Burbank, California, is a state-of-the-art facility designed to enhance Iyuno’s localization and post-production capabilities. Spanning 52,000 square feet, the facility features 10 recording studios, 4 Dolby Atmos mixing stages, a large format theatrical mix stage, multiple QC suites, and advanced video and audio editing stations. Iyuno already used Dante for audio transmission and routing and wanted to find a complementary low-latency video transmission platform to simplify their workflows. After considering other offerings, they chose Dante AV video to transport video streams throughout their production studios.
“One of the overarching goals for the facility was to increase our capabilities while also affording us the most flexible solution for delivering audio and video in a secure environment,” said Nate Green, Technical Manager at Iyuno’s Burbank facility. “With Dante audio being delivered via low latency over segregated IP networks, we recognized that a video solution that worked alongside the same infrastructure would provide multiple benefits. With Dante as the audio foundation, adding Dante AV video seemed logical, but it had to deliver flexible, reliable, and synchronized performance. After an exhaustive evaluation, we determined Dante AV video was the right choice for us.”
Dante AV video is a family of hardware and software solutions that enable manufacturers and end users to easily integrate networked video into the industry-leading Dante platform. It guarantees interoperability between manufacturers while keeping discovery, configuration, and control to a single platform for all audio and video endpoints and is designed to run on standard 1GbE networks alongside Dante audio devices.
Iyuno selected Bolin’s D20H Dante AV Ultra transceivers to transmit video to its Voice Over (VO) and Automated Dialogue Replacement (ADR) studios. Source videos in their original language are fed from a central AV server to a recording room via the D20 transceivers, where a VO artist dubs them in the desired target language, precisely in sync with the character’s actions on screen. This setup allows for versatile delivery to one or multiple studios as needed. As a result, video and audio are accurately synchronized, enabling the director and talent to deliver the high-quality performances Iyuno is known for.
Perfect for Iyuno’s needs, Dante AV Ultra is designed to transport ultra-low latency, high-quality video and audio over standard IP networks. Dante AV Ultra supports visually lossless 4K60 4:4:4 video transmission with sub-frame latency. It’s ideal for applications where timing, quality, and reliability are critical, such as live production, broadcast, corporate AV, and higher education. As part of the industry’s largest AV-over-IP ecosystem with more than 4,300 available audio and video endpoints, Dante AV video makes it easy to break out audio to and from Dante audio devices without the need for extra hardware or format conversion. Dante AV video is also designed for deployment on enterprise networks, offering scalable solutions for LANs and WANs.
Another design goal for the facility was to enhance client-centric services while providing engineers with maximum flexibility to support simultaneous and accurate video distribution solutions. Whether routing a specific video feed to a client’s viewing position or enabling complex workflows that allow multiple performers in different studios to collaborate using the same frame-accurate video source through multicast feeds to decoders, Dante AV video offers a seamless solution. This capability gives directors the creative freedom to synchronize and adjust performances effortlessly.
With Bolin Dante AV video transceivers ensuring the precise transmission of high-quality video and synchronized audio, Iyuno empowers directors with unmatched creative control and flexibility. This combination of precision and adaptability reinforces Iyuno’s commitment to delivering industry-leading media localization and post-production services, solidifying its status as a global leader.
“The AV transceivers were basically a plug-and-play installation,” said Green. “Having already been familiar with Dante audio routing, working with Dante AV video is pretty easy, really.”
