9.1 Brief Intro about Dante
Dante is the de facto standard digital media networking solution, using standard IP infrastructure to network devices, and making
interoperability easy and reliable. It distributes uncompressed, multi-channel digital media via standard Ethernet networks, with near-
zero latency and perfect synchronization.
It’s the most economical, versatile, and easy-to-use media networking solution, and is scalable from simple installations to large-capacity
networks running thousands of channels. Dante can replace multiple analog or multicore cables with a single affordable Ethernet
cable to transmit high-quality multi-channel media safely and reliably. With Dante software, the network can be easily expanded and
recongured with just a few mouse clicks. Dante technology powers products available from hundreds of partners around the world.
