Control and Management

The Dante Platform includes easy-to-use, powerful management and control tools for signal routing, issue diagnosis, security and overall control of devices across multiple locations worldwide.

  • Dante Controller is a free tool that enables users to route signals, and perform basic diagnostics on local area networks.
  • Dante Director – a cloud-based, SaaS tool that enables remote access, monitoring and control of Dante networks, anywhere in the world.
  • Dante Domain Manager – an on-premise, enterprise grade management tool that allows the organization and management networks of any size, including enterprise systems of thousands of devices.

Media Anywhere

There is an increasing customer need to transport audio and video signals not just between Dante-enabled devices, but in and out of computers, both locally and remotely.

  • Dante Connect enables any on-premise or cloud-based Dante audio device to connect to cloud-based production tools for added production flexibility and agility.
  • Dante Virtual Soundcard enables your PC or Mac to connect to Dante networks to record, process and playout up to 64 bidirectional channels of pure, lossless audio.
  • Dante Studio software seamlessly brings Dante video directly to your PC, eliminating the need for extra hardware to receive Dante video streams, capture and send your PC’s display, or monitor video flows across the network.

Developer Ecosystem

Dante offers a collection of tools that enables and supports developers to build applications on the Dante Platform.

Control APIs for Dante Domain Manager and Dante Director allow users, integrators, service providers and software developers the ability to write code to integrate Dante with third-party products such as touch screens, web UIs, help desk solutions, software-based source control and more.

In addition, the SDK for Dante Connect allows developers an easy way to integrate Dante into cloud-based production tools.

Security

Security of AV over IP networks is one of the top concerns of IT Departments. Dante is designed with security at its core. Dante offers device, network, and media-level protections for Pro AV manufacturers to integrate into their products and system solutions.

Dante systems and endpoints implement a multilayer security architecture that provides unmatched threat and vulnerability protection to the network and connected devices. The multilayer security architecture provides a solid foundation for manufacturers and systems integrators to follow best practices when configuring Dante and their products to meet new regulations. The addition of Dante Media Encryption enables Pro AV equipment manufacturers to upgrade qualified Dante firmware and software in new or existing designs to support AES-256 encryption security policies on managed Dante networks.
