SDVoE Alliance, the industry consortium driving standardisation of AV signal transport over Ethernet, and Audinate, developer of audio networking technology Dante, are to collaborate on an integrated AV control environment. In addition, Audinate has joined the SDVoE Alliance as a contributing member.
Dante distributes uncompressed audio channels across IP networks, and has been adopted by over 400 companies and integrated into over 1,400 commercially available products.
SDVoE technology provides an end-to-end hardware and software platform for AV extension, switching, processing and control through advanced chipset technology, common control APIs and interoperability.
"We have long heard from our customers that they want an integrated, interoperable way to control their video over IP alongside their Dante audio,"stated Lee Ellison, CEO of Audinate. "Our partnership with the SDVoE Alliance and our demonstration of an integrated control platform at InfoComm is the first step toward making this interoperable IP audio and video experience a reality."
Markets and applications that can benefit from an integrated multi-channel audio and video over IP system include corporate conference rooms, lecture halls in higher education, digital signage in retail, sports books in casinos, houses of worship and more.
Justin Kennington, president of the SDVoE Alliance said, "The synergies that will be created by melding the SDVoE platform and the ubiquity of Dante are huge. The entire AV industry will benefit from this partnership."
Demonstrations of Dante Controller managing SDVoE signal routing will be featured at InfoComm 2018 in the SDVoE Alliance booth N720 and the Audinate booth C456.
