Grass Valley announced today the integration of native Dante audio networking within its AMPP OS (Agile Media Processing Platform Operating System), through a new strategic collaboration with Audinate, the pioneer behind the Dante® AV-over-IP platform.

This partnership brings Dante connectivity directly into AMPP OS, allowing users to discover, manage, and route Dante audio streams without external hardware. With support for up to 128×128 bidirectional channels and latency as low as 1ms, the integration delivers robust audio capabilities across any AMPP-powered workflow.

By incorporating Dante into AMPP, Grass Valley is enabling agile, software-defined audio routing that aligns with modern production demands, whether in a studio, on location, or in the cloud. The new functionality is fully integrated into AMPP’s microservices architecture, and is deployed, scaled and managed like any other AMPP service. This allows operators to mix Dante sources alongside other IP audio formats within the GV Media Universe.

Key highlights:

• Native integration of Dante audio within AMPP OS
• Flexible licensing, with hourly and monthly access models
• Support for up to 128 input and 128 output channels with low latency
• Software-based interoperability with other IP audio standards
• Deployment across cloud, on-prem, or hybrid environments

The solution also supports the use of Dante Domain Manager for effective device management across complex network installations, including the creation of multiple clocking domains, management and routing of signals across VLANs and subnets, creation and management of AES67 & ST2110 device domains, and effective monitoring of the overall Dante system status.
