USA - Audinate Group has announced the release of Dante Studio v2.6 software and Dante AV-H v1.5 technology. Both updates, now available for download, support multichannel video with up to four video Rx channels, delivering enhanced control and functionality to meet the growing demand for versatile AV solutions across industries.
Designed to support a range of applications – from unified communications and education to live events – these latest releases add multichannel functionality, enabling rich, multi-angle video experiences suited to corporate meetings, classrooms, and live streaming environments.
Dante AV seamlessly integrates with existing Dante audio systems, while Dante Domain Manager or Dante Director can offer centralised control, robust monitoring, and user access management.
Dante Studio v2.6 brings Dante video directly to PCs, eliminating the need for extra hardware like capture cards.

For OEMs building products for professional AV applications, Dante AV-H technology delivers a rapid time to market and cost-effective solution for H.264/AVC and H.265/HEVC SoC-based video products. This latest release with four video Rx channels enables Dante AV-H to be built into new product categories like multichannel decoders, video switchers, vision mixers, and multi-viewers.
“We’re taking significant strides to simplify and enhance video workflows across a broad spectrum of industries," said Will Waters, principal product manager at Audinate. "By enabling multichannel video integration directly into applications on PCs and offering OEMs a seamless way to incorporate multi-angle video into their solutions, we’re delivering tools that empower operators to create richer, more dynamic AV experiences.
