Latin America. Audinate has announced the full availability of the Dante Application Library Software Development Kit (SDK). Previously available to a few, Dante Application Library is an SDK for PC and Mac that provides software developers with an easy-to-use conduit to the largest installed base of audio devices: products and solutions connected through Audinate's Dante, including microphones and speakers, signal processors, amplifiers, speakers, and more.
"Dante is the native language of professional audio," said Nick Mariette, senior product manager at Audinate. "The success of any audio software application depends on customers being able to easily connect to the audio devices in the system they are using. More and more audio devices are connected via Dante's AV-over-IP. The Dante Application Library brings Dante network functionality directly to applications, giving users access to an ecosystem of more than 3000 Dante-enabled audio products from more than 500 manufacturers."
Dante is the lingua franca for the largest installed base of audio devices in today's AV space. Data from RH Consulting indicates that Dante is the protocol of choice in more than 91 percent of network audio products currently on the market.
The Dante Application Library provides a seamless, useful, and robust solution for developers looking to reach customers within this widely adopted and ever-expanding ecosystem.
Developers can integrate Dante devices and subscriptions directly into their software products for conferencing, recording, conference capture, media playback, or other applications for a seamless, "one-stop-shop" setup experience.
The Dante Application Library can simplify the configuration of unified communications applications, enable the easy deployment of software-based digital signal processors and audio utilities, optimize the use of conference and venue capture software, automate connections to DAW applications for recording and processing, configure the media player bulletproof software, and much more. With simple and flexible licensing, Dante Application Library makes it easy for developers to get started.
