Audinate Highlights Dante’s Role in Unified AV and Broadcast Workflows at NAB 2026

At NAB Show 2026, Audinate Group Limited highlights how its Dante ecosystem is evolving into a unified platform for audio, video, and control. With over 4,500 Dante-enabled products globally, the company demonstrates how AV and broadcast workflows can be simplified through interoperable, network-based solutions that support modern production environments across corporate, education, and live events.

The showcase focuses on key innovations such as native ST 2110 integration, cloud-based management via Dante Director Pro, and the debut of Iris for remote PTZ camera control. Audinate also emphasizes Dante AV for low-latency video over standard networks, enabling teams to manage both audio and video seamlessly on a single platform while scaling operations across facilities and cloud environments.

Audinate Group Limited, developer of the Dante® AVoIP platform, will showcase how Dante brings together audio, video, and control for modern broadcast and AV production environments at NAB 2026. Demonstrations will feature interoperable solutions designed to simplify networked production as the company marks the 20^th anniversary of Dante networking technology.

Dante has evolved from an audio networking protocol into a broader AV networking platform for use in multiple environments. More than 4,500 Dante-enabled products from over 700 manufacturers are now available worldwide, reflecting two decades of ecosystem growth.

“The industry is quickly moving towards broadcast-level AV systems that demand high-end production value, and we’re seeing this shift across the board, particularly in corporate installations, higher education, and without question in live productions,” said Joshua Rush, Chief Marketing Officer at Audinate. “At NAB 2026, we’re showcasing Dante solutions that give integrators and end users the interoperability and flexibility needed to connect and deliver on this evolving landscape, including cloud-based solutions like Dante Director Pro, Iris PTZ camera control, Dante AV, and our native ST 2110 workflows. These solutions give customers the confidence to scale, adapt, and modernize at their own pace.”

Demand is rising for interoperable, network‑based production solutions that deliver the reliability and precision required across diverse environments. At NAB 2026, Audinate will demonstrate how Dante is redefining what’s possible by unifying audio, video, and control on a single platform supporting both modern broadcast and installed AV workflows.

Bridging Dante Audio with ST 2110 Workflows 

Announced last fall, Dante’s enhanced ST 2110-30 updates support integration across varied environments, from traditional broadcast studios to mobile and event-based productions. The latest capabilities, including 96 kHz sample rate support, additional configuration options for RTP flows and PTPv2 clocking, and expanded multicast address ranges, are available across Dante-enabled products. Updates can be configured directly in Dante Controller. Visitors will get a closer look at these new capabilities and at how Dante fits natively into ST 2110 workflows and supports hybrid production environments spanning broadcast and AV.

Managing Dante Networks Across Facilities and the Cloud

Demonstrations will feature Dante’s monitoring, management, and cloud solutions for distributed production environments. Teams can centrally monitor and manage AV systems across venues and global facilities using Dante Director Professional, a SaaS solution for monitoring and securing networked devices. Additional demonstrations will highlight how Dante supports cloud-based production environments, including Grass Valley’s AMPP platform.

Iris: Cloud-Based PTZ Camera Control 

Making its NAB debut on the Audinate booth, Iris introduces a cloud-based platform that replaces traditional hardware controllers with a browser-accessible interface. This allows cameras to be controlled remotely across a range of production environments. From boardrooms to houses of worship and sports productions, Iris enables teams to orchestrate multi-camera workflows across locations and connected environments using any camera, without additional infrastructure. AI-powered automation handles tracking, framing, and presets so teams can focus on production, not camera operation.

Extending Dante Networking to Video Workflows

Dante AV enables high-quality, low-latency video distribution over standard Gigabit Ethernet networks, extending the simplicity of Dante audio workflows to video. For example, in live events or multi-room broadcasts, teams can route high-quality audio and video signals over existing Dante-enabled networks, reducing the need for separate audio and video networks. Attendees will learn how Dante AV supports the transition to networked video, from integrating existing SDI equipment onto the network to connecting Dante-enabled cameras and software endpoints. Dante Controller provides device discovery and routing while supporting native Dante audio channels, enabling unified audio and video workflows.

Audinate will demonstrate these solutions at Booth C2616 in the Las Vegas Convention Center.
