Dante, created by Audinate, is a network-based protocol for audio and video transmission. It has grown massively in popularity over the past years and has now become a leading standard in audio over ethernet transmission, adopted by hundreds of AV manufacturers.
Dante’s global popularity and ease of use make it an essential addition to AREC Media Stations. Its inclusion helps create even better AV systems for all sorts of projects by cutting installation times, reducing cabling work, and improving overall audio quality. Take, for example, a standard conference room.
With Dante, the connection between microphones and speakerphones on the conferencing table, wall speakers, other audio devices, and an AREC Media Station is accomplished with just a network cable. This reduces clutter, preserves audio quality, and makes it easy to change audio routing should the room configuration change. Furthermore, network connection makes it easier to position hardware far away from the room, leaving only the necessary devices inside.
And it is not just the conference rooms that can benefit. Consider a regular town hall.
Plenty of discussion systems that are commonly used in them work on Dante. They are the same discussion systems that are integrated with AREC for tracking. Take, for example, Televic Confidea. Each Confidea Flex G4 can be connected to a central unit, which can then be connected to AREC LS-110 for audio recording and to the DS-4CU for automatic speaker tracking, all of it by the network.
Likewise, in lecture halls, you can send audio from the ceiling and handheld microphones, combine it with captured cameras, and create engaging learning material. Dante will deliver the audio of your speakers in high quality, whereas the wireless nature of connection makes it possible for lecturers to focus on their task. To make this even more convenient for the user, consider using our IR and AI tracking cameras. They are designed to follow your speakers and active audience members, and work wirelessly, making an ideal pairing for Dante-enabled devices.
These are just some of the ways you can use Dante audio products with AREC. Would you like to know more about how you can use our products in your projects? Reach out to us at www.a-dena.com and we would be happy to discuss it with you!
