Latin America. Grass Valley integrated the native Dante audio network within its AMPP (Agile Media Processing Platform), through a new strategic collaboration with Audinate, the pioneer behind the Dante AV-over-IP platform.
This collaboration brings seamless Dante connectivity directly to AMPP, allowing users to discover, manage, and route Dante audio streams without external hardware. With support for bidirectional channels up to 128×128 and latency as low as 1ms, the integration delivers robust audio capabilities in any AMPP-based workflow.
By incorporating Dante into AMPP, Grass Valley enables agile, software-defined audio routing that adapts to modern production demands, whether in the studio, outdoors, or in the cloud. The new functionality is fully integrated into AMPP's microservices architecture and is deployed, scaled, and managed like any other AMPP service. This allows operators to mix Dante sources with other IP audio formats within the GV Media Universe.
For the first time, Dante I/O is available through AMPP's flexible licensing model, which offers hourly and monthly subscription options. This gives customers instant and cost-effective access to professional audio networks, enabling rapid deployment for short-form productions, seasonal events, or dynamic scaling needs.
The integration benefits a wide range of users across industries, including broadcast, live events, corporate AV, worship, education, and esports, industries that are increasingly turning to remote production and distributed workflows.
The solution also supports the use of Dante Domain Manager for effective device management in complex network installations, including creating multiple clock domains, managing and routing signals across VLANs and subnets, creating and managing AES67 and ST2110 device domains, and effectively monitoring the overall health of the Dante system.
