Dante Controller
Use Dante Controller software on macOS or Windows to set up your video and audio signal routing. Use this application to set up the video and audio routing between Dante devices, including Dante AV 4K-T and 4K-R, control the video and audio connections in the Dante setup, and move audio and video in real time over an Ethernet network.
Conference/Education Workflow
Quickly and cost efficiently add high quality video to a 1 GigE network with the added ability to use the RS-422 control to operate a PTZ camera remotely with the Dante AV 4K-T and 4K-R transmitters and receivers.
House Of Worship Workflow
Take your Dante audio network to the next level by adding cinema quality JPEG 2000 to your worship services, all on the 1 GigE Dante audio network. Dante AV 4K-T and 4K-R transmitters and receivers have IR send and receive capabilities, providing control integration with other devices as well.
Concert Workflow
Dante AV 4K-T and 4K-R transmitters and receivers expand your Dante audio live audio concert network to include Dante AV Ultra video. In this example, four 12G-SDI broadcast camera signals are going into the Dante network, and three Dante receivers are feeding the LED screens behind the stage. Scalability and flexibility are hallmarks of Dante AV Ultra. This workflow also demonstrates the KVM functionality of the Dante AV 4K-T and 4K-R transmitters and receivers.
Dante AV and Networking
As an IP video product, the Dante AV 4K-T and Dante AV 4K-R need to be connected to a Dante network, either an existing network you might have for working with Dante audio or a new Dante purpose built network for Dante AV Ultra. In either case, for initial setup, the Dante AV 4K-T and AJA Dante AV 4K-R will need to be connected to a customer-supplied Mac or PC with the latest version of Dante Controller software from Audinate which you can find here:
