Audinate's Dante is a standards-based IP media networking solution. The Dante media networking technology suite transports low latency uncompressed audio over a standard IP Ethernet network with sample accurate synchronization. Dante simplifies installation because it supports automatic device and channel discovery, with easy to use signal routing. Dante also provides comprehensive network monitoring tools. Allen & Heath will be selling a 64 x 64 bi-directional Dante Card with full network redundancy.
Allen & Heath's iLive digital mixing series comprises several Control Surface and MixRack variants, which can be mixed and matched in any combination and share the same firmware, so that show files are transferable between systems via a USB key.
"We are pleased to be working with Audinate to implement Dante in our iLive digital mixing series," stated Glenn Rogers, managing director of Allen & Heath. "With the growing rate of adoption of Audinate's Dante networking in other A/V products, we felt the timing was right to add this to our iLive series."
The Dante 64x64 networking card from Allen& Heath will include the Dante Virtual Soundcard with each purchase. The Dante Virtual Soundcard turns a PC or Mac into a Dante enabled device.
"We are excited about having Dante incorporated into the product offerings of Allen & Heath," stated Lee Ellison, CEO of Audinate. "The addition of the iLive product portfolio to the family of Dante-enabled products gives customers a broader range of connectivity options."
* Also at proLight+Sound, Link announced yesterday that it has executed a licence agreement with Audinate to implement Dante in Link's DGlinkTM Stage Box system.
"The addition of DanteTM significantly enhances the audio transport capabilities of our system while making it more flexible," stated Marco Piromalli, President of Link. "We look forward to debuting a system at InfoComm10 in Las Vegas this June."
