Audinate has announced the launch of Dante Director Professional, ‘a comprehensive web-based management solution designed for remote management of any size AV installation – from 50 devices to many thousands’. The software solution addresses the growing challenge of maintaining distributed AV infrastructure at scale by providing centralised monitoring, management, and security authentication capabilities.
As organisations expand their AV footprints across campuses, office buildings, and global facilities, managing a large number of networked devices has become increasingly complex. Dante Director Professional delivers ‘an easily accessible solution that enables IT and AV teams to monitor device health, diagnose issues remotely, and ensure systems remain operational without requiring on-site presence’.
“Organisations are deploying both large and widespread Dante-enabled AV systems at unprecedented scale,” said Laurence Crew, product manager at Audinate. “Dante Director Professional gives technical teams the tools they need to manage these distributed networks efficiently while maintaining the security and reliability that mission-critical communication systems demand.”
Early adopters of Dante Director Professional have reported better insight into their Dante networks.
“At Rutgers University – New Brunswick, we support close to 300 general-purpose classes and learning environments across four campuses spread over 12 miles, and Dante Director Professional is an invaluable tool for remote monitoring and diagnosis of our AV systems,” says Ed Rebert, AV systems manager at Rutgers. “This tool is so valuable to us.”
“Dante Director Professional gives us full control over our global Dante network from one place,” says Aljohn Mogol, Sr. AV engineer at Spotify. “This is a huge win because many of our remote offices don’t have any AV/IT staff on-site, but we can still monitor, manage, and fix Dante-related issues from anywhere.”
Dante Director Professional is available now with elevated support services for onboarding, deployment, and product acquisition.
