Pre-existing known issues
- ETS-5590: Multicast flow from Dante Studio Video Tx does not work with Dante AV Ultra (JPEG2000) Rx devices.
- AV-1134: Fast switching between JPEG2000 and H.264/H.265 in Video Rx might sometimes result in not switching. To recover, unsubscribe and resubscribe.
- AV-818: Clearing the configuration on a Tx in DC with an active subscription to Dante Studio Rx will result in the status “Tx setup failed”. To recover, reboot the Tx.
- AV-829: Closing OBS when Dante Virtual Cameras are loading may result in a white screen in a Dante Virtual Camera. The recommendation is to wait for all Dante Virtual Cameras to load before closing OBS.
- AV-679: Dante Studio may not reconnect to Dante Director when the network is changed. To recover, select Settings > “Clear Domain Credentials” in Dante Studio UI, then re-enroll device in Dante Director.
- EN-795: Vertical tearing may occur in the middle of the video during Video Tx to Dante AV Ultra Rx flow. Reducing the Screen Share display resolution may resolve this issue.

- AV-279: Clicking ‘Cancel’ then ‘No’ during install leads to an unresponsive installer dialog
- AV-587: Dante Video Viewer goes blank on moving the window between some different displays driven by different GPUs. Recover by closing and re-opening the Video Viewer.
Audinate’s Support for Inclusive Language
To our customers: some of the terminology used in Dante products has been changed to align with modern usage. Specifically, areas related to Dante clocking now refer to “Primary Leader Clock”, “Leader Clocks” and “Follower Clocks” to describe the functions of each role more clearly.
