1.2. About Dante

Audinate’s Dante technology provides high performance digital media networking that meets the quality and

performance requirements of professional live sound, AV installations and broadcast and recording systems.

Designed to fully exploit the capabilities of today and tomorrow’s networking equipment, Dante provides

media transport mechanisms that eliminate many traditional audio network design restrictions. Dante makes it

easy to set up robust, flexible digital audio networks with virtually unrestricted performance. A Dante network

can be designed with mixed Gigabit and 100Mbps network speeds, simultaneously support audio with

different sample rates and bit depths, and even allow the design of network zones with different latencies.

Dante is built on Internet Protocols — not just Ethernet. Because it uses standard IP over Ethernet, Dante is

capable of running on inexpensive off-the-shelf computer networking hardware, and with the use of standard

QoS can share installed networks with other data and computing traffic.

Dante provides sample-accurate synchronization and can deliver the very low latency required by

professional audio. Dante’s network-centric, audio-independent approach to synchronization allows perfectly

synchronized playout across different audio channels, devices and networks, even over multiple switch hops.

Dante makes networking a true plug-and-play process, allowing automatic device discovery and system

configuration. Dante-enabled devices will automatically setup their network configuration and advertise

themselves and their channels on the network, reducing complicated, error-prone set-up procedures. Instead

of “magic numbers”, networked devices and their input and output signals can be named to make sense to

the user.

Dante is not restricted to allowing configuration and transmission of audio channels. Dante also provides

mechanisms to send or receive control and monitoring information across the Dante IP network, including

equipment-specific messages and control specified and developed by a particular manufacturer.

With its strong foundations and links to current and evolving network standards, Dante is able to deliver a

level of future proofing otherwise unavailable in other types of digital audio transportation. Dante was

designed for Gigabit networks from its inception, and Dante as it exists today already incorporates aspects of

the emerging AVB networking standards. Continued evolution of its networking technology is an integral part

of the Dante roadmap.

Dante technology is available in ready-to-implement hardware and software products, reference designs and

development APIs.
