Dante is audio network technology developed by Audinate that uses network infrastructure supporting Gigabit Ethernet. Dante makes it possible to achieve high-performance digital media networks that meet the demands for sound quality and performance needed in professional live performances, audio/visual equipment, broadcasting, and recording systems.
- 16 inputs x 16 outputs at 48kHz used in the V-1200HD mixer
- 32 inputs x 32 outputs at 96kHz or 64 inputs x 64 outputs at 48kHz used in the M-5000 mixer
- Transmission of up to 512 channels (at 48 kHz/24 bits)
- XI-DANTE supports a maximum of 64 channels.
- Low latency
- Ability to use standard network equipment
- Accurate sample-frequency synchronization
- Support for redundant networks. If the primary network experiences trouble, operation automatically switches to the secondary network.
- Automatic detection of Dante devices on the network, with support for plug and play
- Ability to make advanced network settings with simplicity by using the Dante Controller software
