Audinate has announced the addition of a new hands-on, interactive track during its annual Dante Networking World event at InfoComm 2018. The new course, titled “Optimizing Your Dante Network” will give attendees practical, real-world examples to gain the most out of their Dante network, and the opportunity to put their knowledge to work in a hands-on, interactive environment.
The 8th annual Dante AV Networking World will take place June 5 at the Las Vegas Renaissance and will feature three educational tracks as well as the annual manufacturer showcase featuring Dante-enabled products from leading audio manufacturers. The educational tracks are:
- “Introduction to Dante” Designed for those that are new to Dante, this track will feature the popular Dante Level 1 and Level 2 certification training with the addition of interactive workstations to practice the concepts covered. Topics will include: audio networking fundamentals, basic networking concepts, how to create a small-scale Dante network, redundancy, clocking, latency and multicast.
- “Dante Level 3 Certification” Designed for those who have completed Levels 1 and 2, and are working with more complex systems, this course includes a deep dive on advanced networking concepts critical to audio networking, best practices for using Dante on mixed-use networks and troubleshooting techniques.

Topics include: networking fundamentals, IP addressing techniques, optimizing network resilience, tips for integrating audio networks with IT infrastructure, Broadcast vs. Multicast vs. Unicast, and best practices for network security.
All three sessions will feature the popular “Sneak Peek from Dante Labs” presentation that will highlight exciting new developments with Dante that are coming in the future.
