Audinate Unveils New Dante-As-Software Products for Manufacturers and Developers

Supporting the AV industry’s shift from purpose-built hardware to software-based solutions running on standardized hardware, Audinate announced two new software-based Dante networking products. Dante Embedded Platform enables manufacturers to add full Dante functionality in software running on Linux for x86 and ARM processors. The Dante Application Library allows software developers to seamlessly integrate Dante functionality directly into their PC & Mac applications. Early confirmed adopters include QSC, Zoom, and Analog Devices.

Following Audinate's announcement of a shift from purpose-built hardware to software-based solutions running on standardized hardware, QSC announced Software-based Dante for the Q-SYS Ecosystem. As part of its strategic technology partnership with Audinate, Q-SYS will now feature scalable software licenses that will enable native Dante networked audio integration without the need for additional hardware I/O or external configuration software.
