Dante audio networking provides digital audio distribution over local and wide area networking with low latency (<1 ms), using standard network hardware or by connecting into a standard network infrastructure. This offers many advantages, including audio system scalability, easier installation, and simplified wiring. 

Dante also allows uncompressed, multi-channel, low latency high-resolution digital audio to be distributed across a switched Ethernet network using standard TCP/IP protocols while meeting the stringent quality requirements of professional audio.

Dante audio is the primary choice for ProAV system integrators and a growing number of broadcasters and is widely adopted by 450 manufacturers offering 2500+ Dante device types.

• Current solutions require many devices, or a very high price to accomplish this bridging. DANTE reduces the amount of gear required to perform this bridging function.
• DANTE audio provides a redundant infrastructure with two networks, a primary and secondary 1 GigE ports, which provide users with a robust system of audio transport.
• DANTE audio solutions also provides a synchronization solution that is not met by other solutions for audio over IP.

OG-DANTE-12GAM is your bridge between embedded SDI audio and Dante sources and destinations. With Dante Controller software, you can route sources and destinations wherever required across 1 GigE networks. 

Embed your DAW audio outputs into your video projects for mastering and more. Disembed your SDI program's audio content and deliver across the network to drive mixers, amplifiers and more in live venue contexts.

The OG-DANTE-12GAM provides two 12G-SDI inputs and two 12G-SDI outputs alongside Gigabit Primary and Secondary Ethernet ports. OG-DANTE-12GAM automatically detects and configures to the SDI input video standard. Simple user controls in Dashboard and Dante Controller allow channel enabling and mapping to and from SDI and DANTE.

DashBoard software offers quick and convenient configuration and control of openGear cards on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
