Audinate has announced that more than 400 Dante-enabled products from top AV manufacturers now feature upgraded firmware that supports Dante Domain Manager. Dante Domain Manager is the network control technology that brings new functionality to Dante networks, including user authentication, role-based security and audit capabilities, while also delivering scalability and organisation of Dante systems over any network topology.
The number of Dante licensees that have upgraded their products to support Dante Domain Manager is truly exciting, and speaks to the value they see in it for their customers, stated Joshua Rush, Sr. Vice President of Marketing for Audinate. We expect to see another large wave of products announcing support for Dante Domain Manager at InfoComm in June.
The list of Dante Domain Manager Ready products includes products from every major audio category, including amplifiers, audio monitors, commentary systems, conference systems, digital recorders and players, digital signal processors, encoders and decoders, external clocks, I/O interfaces, intercoms, matrix switchers, mic preamps, microphones, mixing consoles, personal monitors, soundcards, speaker management processors, and stage boxes.
The need to bring IT-level management and security to audio systems is a critical requirement for the majority of our customers, said Trent Wagner, Sr. Product Manager at Symetrix. We worked hard to make sure we could be the first DSP manufacturer supporting Dante Domain Manager, which we now do across our Edge, Radius and Prism lines using Composer version 7.0 or later.
Systems integrators are similarly positive as Dante Domain Manager enables integrators to provide deeper value, the company claims. Just as AV has evolved from components to systems to networked solutions, Dante Domain Manager provides a new software layer that systems integrators can deploy to configure, control, secure and scale AV systems via a unified, customisable dashboard.
As one of the leading global technology solutions firms, we see the applicability of Dante Domain Manager in almost every audio installation that we do, said Mark DiQuinzio, Vice President of Engineering at Diversified. We are glad to see so many manufacturers upgrading their products to support Dante Domain Manager, and plan to recommend those products whenever possible so that our customers can get the advanced management and security features they are demanding.”
Dante Domain Manager is a virtualised application that runs on Windows and Linux desktop and server platforms, with a web interface.
