Marshall Electronics, provider of AV equipment for broadcast, proAV, video streaming and multimedia worldwide, announces a collaboration with Audinate, developer of the Dante AV-over-IP solution. As part of the collaboration, Marshall will integrate Audinate’s Dante AV-H to its line of AV over IP (H.265/H.264) camera offerings with up to UHD60fps resolution.
“Marshall has been speaking Dante on the audio side of our business for some time with audio rack monitors. Now with the development of Dante AV-H, adding video to the equation is something we had to participate in,” says Tod Musgrave, Sr. Director of Cameras at Marshall. “Dante AV-H was designed as a high-performance network solution where low latency and ultra-high video quality matters, which is exactly where Marshall IP cameras have matured over the past 12 years, making this an ideal partnership extension.”
Dante AV-H is a software solution designed to allow manufacturers the ability to incorporate Dante video control and audio into existing H.264/H.265-based IP video product designs. Dante AV-H brings interoperability to networked cameras and other video endpoints, providing automatic discovery, connectivity and manageability while using the H.264/AVC and H.265/HEVC codecs already supported in common hardware. As Dante AV-H is software-based, it is easier, less costly and faster to integrate than hardware-based solutions.
With Dante AV-H, all video and audio routing, configuration and management of devices is done with the Dante platform. Dante Controller provides a single point of control for all audio and video routing, and Dante Domain Manager adds monitoring and user access control to AV systems. Beyond the scalability and one-click routing offered by networked AV solutions over point-to-point technologies like HDMI and SDI, Dante AV-H video and audio flows are independently routable, allowing video and audio to be sent where it needs to go without the need for demuxing hardware. Additionally audio channels from Dante AV-H endpoints are completely interoperable with the thousands of Dante audio products on the market today.
“We’re thrilled to have Marshall Electronics adopt Dante AV-H,” says Wim Roose, Senior Product Manager at Audinate. “Their exceptional quality cameras combined with Dante AV-H’s flexibility and ease of use offers the market a high-quality, versatile solution for video workflows.”
