Dante AV Ultra
Exceptional video to meet the most demanding standards
Dante AV Ultra is a turn-key FPGA based solution from codec to network with a complete set of tools that enables manufacturers to add networked video and audio to the industry-leading Dante platform. Delivering high-quality, visually lossless video supporting resolutions up to 4Kp60 4:4:4 over 1GbE at sub frame latencies, Dante AV Ultra is optimal for live interactive and real time applications.
With Dante AV-Ultra, audio and video are delivered with deterministic latency across the network solving issues with AV sync. Flexible control routing of USB HID, serial, and IR over IP and HDCP v. 1.x/2.x are also supported. Dante AV Ultra is designed to fulfill the highest and ever-changing requirements of AV systems.
Dante AV-A
High quality AV distribution simplified and managed
Dante AV-A extends the Dante AV portfolio to hardware based on the ASPEED AST1530 SoC eliminating the need for hardware redesigns. It delivers high-quality, visually lossless video at resolutions up to 4Kp60 4:4:4 and 2×2 channels of independently routable Dante audio that are instantly compatible with Dante-enabled audio products simplifying distributed AV system design.
With its ultra-low video latency, Dante AV-A provides a natural and immersive in-room video distribution experience. Additionally, it supports HDCP 2.x, for secure content distribution over the network. Dante AV-A is ideally suited for one to many AV distribution or IMAG applications.
