Dante AV Ultra
Exceptional video to meet the most demanding standards
Dante AV Ultra is a turn-key, FPGA-based toolset from codec to network that enables manufacturers to add ultra-low latency networked video and audio to the industry-leading Dante platform. With high-fidelity, visually lossless video and resolutions up to 4Kp60 4:4:4 over 1GbE at sub frame latencies, Dante AV Ultra delivers the highest performance for live interactive and real time applications.
Dante AV-Ultra delivers audio and video channels with deterministic latency across the network solving issues with AV sync, and supports flexible control routing of USB HID, serial, and IR over IP and HDCP v. 1.x/2.x. Dante AV Ultra is designed to fulfill the highest demands 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.

Dante AV-H
Greater flexibility and scale for limited bandwidth environments
Dante AV-H is a multi-channel software solution that brings the power and interoperability of Dante to H26.x SoC-based video endpoints, providing low-bandwidth video using H.264/AVC and H.265/HEVC compression. As a software-based solution Dante AV-H delivers a rapid time to market and a cost-effective option for manufacturers looking to develop Dante AV products. It supports video resolutions up to 4Kp60 4:2:0 and 2×2 channels of Dante audio.
Compatibility with Dante Studio software allows Dante AV-H to be effortlessly integrated into unified communication, lecture capture, and streaming applications. Providing more flexibility and scalability than point-to-point, HDMI or USB solutions and with low bandwidth, Dante AV-H is the ideal AV solution for sending multiple streams across standard 1Gb Ethernet networks.
