Audinate Completes Acquisition of Silex Insight SAAudinate has completed the acquisition of the video business of Silex Insight SA, based in Belgium, after the transaction was initially announced on Dec. 13, 2021. The Silex video business produces video networking products for manufacturers of AV equipment.

The acquisition of the Silex video business allows Audinate to accelerate its vision for integrated audio and video-over-IP and adds depth to its AV-over-IP product lineup.

The video codecs and deep product expertise in the team, in combination with our Dante networking technology, will enable us to go to market with a variety of full-service video offerings.”

The acquisition is a carve-out of the video business from Silex, which retains its existing security business.
