Dante

Dante is the industry-leading audio-over-IP networking technology from Audinate. It has become the de facto standard for professional audio transport, with over 4,500 Dante-enabled products available from over 700 manufacturers worldwide.

Dante replaces rigid AV cabling and point-to-point digital connections with a unified, software-configurable network that delivers broadcast-quality audio, video and control over standard Ethernet infrastructure.

Benefits of Dante?

Dante offers a number of advantages for modern broadcast and production workflows:

  • Simplicity – Automatic device discovery and straightforward routing reduce setup time and operational complexity.
  • Scalability – Audio systems can grow and adapt as production requirements evolve, without major infrastructure changes.
  • Flexibility – Audio signals can be routed dynamically across facilities, control rooms, and remote locations.
  • Interoperability – A broad ecosystem of Dante‑enabled devices supports multi‑vendor integration.
  • IP alignment – Supports the transition from traditional baseband audio to IP‑based production environments.

How does Dante work?

Dante transmits uncompressed, multi-channel digital audio over standard Gigabit Ethernet networks using IP protocols. The technology handles all the complexity of audio networking, e.g. clock synchronization, latency management, and channel routing, while presenting users with a simple UI
Dante uses Precision Time Protocol (PTP) to synchronize all devices on the network, ensuring sample-accurate audio delivery with low latency. Devices automatically discover each other on the network, allowing engineers to route audio between endpoints with the Dante Controller software.

Dante on AMPP

he integration of Dante into the Grass Valley’s AMPP platform bridges the worlds of professional audio networking and cloud-native media production.
AMPP’s Dante connectivity enables production teams to ingest and audio directly from Dante networks into AMPP Linux nodes and egress from AMPP into local Dante networks – whether those workflows are running on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid configurations. Once a Dante stream has been routed into AMPP, it is then available to any microservice within AMPP.
The result is a unified production environment where Dante’s proven reliability and ubiquity combined with AMPP’s flexibility and scalability.
