Audinate announced Dante AV-H, a new software solution designed to allow original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) the ability to incorporate Dante control into existing H.264-based IP video product designs. Part of the Dante AV product family, the company also announced ten partners who will build products with Dante AV-H, including AVer, Avonic, Bolin, BZB Gear, HuddleCam, Lumens, Minnray, Telycam, Televic and ValueHD.

Audinate says H.26x “remains one of the most widely used compression standards today and is available on products that use H.26x codecs available on most Systems on a Chip (SoC).” The software-based Dante AV-H lets OEMs develop fully manageable video products that fit into the Dante ecosystem. Dante AV-H provides IT-level management to IP video products such as PTZ cameras and encoders/decoders using Dante Domain Manager. Dante AV-H integrates industry-standard Dante Audio into AV-over-IP products, giving users the ability to independently route audio to wherever it is needed.

Dante AV-H is now available for OEMs to purchase.
