Audinate, developer of the Dante AV-over-IP solution, has announced the immediate availability of a new API available with Dante Domain Manager 1.5. The API allows service providers, integrators, software developers and OEMs to build Dante control and monitoring into management applications, control hardware, automation scripts, help desk solutions and software-based source switching.

The API provides all the key functionality of Dante Controller. It can query Dante domains, devices, channels and status, and can be used to change channel subscriptions or to add and remove devices from Dante domains. It allows for the configuration of securely managed Dante AV-over-IP systems via third-party applications and products, enabling new capabilities and integrations for a wide variety of installations.

The new API is built using the GraphQL query language for rapid development with common tools such as Postman, Apollo Studio or Altair. It inherits protections and permissions from the Dante Domain Manager configuration.

Audinate also says a Dante routing plug-in for 3-series Crestron control processors will be available shortly. This is built on the new API to allow users of Crestron control processors to change Dante audio or video channel subscription routes with a single button press.

Dante Domain Manager 1.5 with the new API is a free update for existing users of Dante Domain Manager with active support agreements. For more information about a free 30-day trial and to download, visit www.audinate.com/ddm.
