As congregants’ expectations for sermon video quality online and in-person have risen in recent years, HOW audiovisual (AV) workflows have grown more complex. Today, many setups support live streaming of services to online platforms and displays located across HOW campuses, such as overflow room screens.
However, capturing and holding the attention of churchgoers means the video on these screens must reach audiences on-campus in perfect sync. It’s why many HOW teams are looking to Dante AV Ultra by Audinate as a solution. The IP technology makes it easy to move cinema-quality video and audio over a 1GigE network with ultra-low latency to displays located in areas where fiber or SDI might not be practical.
While Dante has been a common audio transport mechanism in the HOW market for years, the rise of Dante AV Ultra is unlocking new video over IP possibilities. Leveraging an existing Dante audio 1GigE network infrastructure with solutions like AJA’s Dante AV 4K-T transmitter and Dante AV 4K-R receiver, professional video signals can now easily be brought into the Dante audio over IP platform, and distributed to multiple screens on-campus.
Both AJA devices support Dante AV Ultra signals up to 4K/UltraHD, offer 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 inputs or outputs, and are intuitive to set up, enabling volunteers to run them while maintaining security. With a single cable, Dante AV 4K-T and 4K-R ensure tightly synchronized AV implementations with guaranteed timing locks between sound and image. Manageable via the Dante unified control plane, the devices enable stunning, lossless imagery, wherever video moves.
For houses of worship interested in further elevating their live stream video workflows across campus, Dante AV 4K-T also supports the latest HDR workflows, and Dante AV 4K-R can receive HDR signals and output them to HDMI and SDI while simultaneously integrating with the Dante Studio plug-in which is supported by popular livestream applications like OBS, vMix, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom. www.aja.com/dante-av-ultra.
