Cardinal Peak and Audinate Announce Strategic Partnership Dante Networked Audio and Video Solutions

Cardinal Peak, the recognized product design and engineering services provider, and Audinate, the developer of Dante audio networking technology, have announced a strategic development partnership aimed at reducing time to market and development costs for new Dante-enabled pro audio and video products. With more manufacturers interested in Dante integration in a growing number of products, Cardinal Peak will support product engineering efforts.

Announced early in 2019, and already receiving extensive industry support, the all-new Dante AV module adds video capabilities to any Dante network, allowing unified control and tight synchronization of AV signals over standard IP networks. Now, Audinate announced that the new Dante AV Module and the Dante AV Product Design Suite are commercially available for order by manufacturers.

During my time at the Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2019 show, I looked closely at how companies are dealing with the transition to IP networks, how prevalent some proprietary technologies still are in commercial installation and AV in particular (e.g., HDBaseT), and how manufacturers are introducing new products and concepts to integrate those networked systems, in particular those protocols that support AES67 audio and the latest SMPTE ST-2110 suite of standards in general.
