Audinate’s Dante audio networking has seen broad adoption among many houses of worship (HOW) in the last few years, allowing HOW AV teams to connect audio devices across campus buildings with a single ethernet versus specialized, single-purpose cables. With the release of Dante AV, transporting synchronized, low latency audio and video over IP across a HOW campus is now also much simpler. It arrives as 1GigE has become more common in HOW AV infrastructures. At the same time, AV teams are juggling many different signal types and codecs, making conversion technology like AJA’s new Dante AV 4K-T encoders and Dante AV 4K-R decoders essential.
Launched earlier this year, AJA Dante AV 4K-T and 4K-R enable the transport and control of low latency, professional quality 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD/VESA Dante video and audio to/from 12G-SDI or HDMI 2.0 devices over a 1 GigE Dante AV network. AJA Dante AV 4K-T converts 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD/VESA SDI and HDMI to Dante AV Ultra signals, while Dante AV 4K-R supports conversion of Dante AV Ultra signals to 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD/VESA SDI and HDMI. Both devices offer unprecedented low latency and time synchronization, ensuring perfect lip sync to screens across HOW campuses and for external broadcasts and streams.
HOW AV teams can use the devices to get the most out of existing IP infrastructure and digital AV equipment across multiple HOW campus buildings. Both also pair well with professional baseband devices, including the AJA Ki Pro Ultra 12G and Io 4K Plus, and can be used with AJA KUMO SDI routers to easily route signals into or out of a Dante AV infrastructure.
