Audinate Group has announced the release of Dante Studio v2.6 software and Dante AV-H v1.5 technology. Both updates, now available for download, support multichannel video with up to four video Rx channels, delivering enhanced control and functionality to meet the growing demand for versatile AV solutions across industries.
Designed to support a range of applications, these latest releases add multichannel functionality, enabling rich, multi-angle video experiences suited to corporate meetings, classrooms, and live streaming environments. Dante AV integrates with existing Dante audio systems, while Dante Domain Manager or Dante Director can offer centralised control, robust monitoring, and user access management. These products empower decision-makers to deploy AV solutions with confidence, knowing they have secure, reliable, and scalable technology that adapts to growing demands.
Dante Studio v2.6 brings Dante video directly to PCs, eliminating the need for extra hardware like capture cards. This release allows operators, video producers, and AV managers to receive and manage up to four Dante AV-H video streams, providing new functionality for video conferencing, streaming, and recording.
Receive up to 4 Dante AV-H video streams directly into applications: Dante Studio presents a virtual camera or video source allowing multiple Dante AV video channels to be brought into applications like Zoom, Teams, OBS or vMix.
Monitor up to 4 Dante AV-H video streams: Dante Video Viewer, a stand-alone app bundled with Dante Studio, provides AV managers with greater control and monitoring capabilities.
Flexible Resolution Control: Users can adjust video resolution between 720p, 1080p, and 4K, tailoring video quality to meet specific project or customer needs, whether streaming in HD or delivering 4K content.
For OEMs building products for professional AV applications, Dante AV-H technology delivers a rapid time to market and cost-effective solution for H.264/AVC and H.265/HEVC SoC-based video products. This latest release with 4 video Rx channels enables Dante AV-H to be built into new product categories like multichannel decoders, video switchers, vision mixers, and multi-viewers. This functionality enables real-time video transitions, which are ideal for a variety of verticals within the Pro AV Industry. The firmware update is available to all Dante AV-H devices, new and in the field.
