Audinate Announces SDK for Integrated Dante Platform

This SDK enables manufacturers to deploy Dante audio networking as software-on-chip in their products, reducing costs and conserving space while delivering world-class audio performance.

Audinate, developer of AV network technology Dante, has made available to the market a software development kit (SDK) for manufacturers of ARM-based audio products. This SDK allows manufacturers to deploy Dante audio networking as software on the chip in their products, reducing costs and conserving space, while delivering first-class audio performance.

The Dante Integrated Platform SDK provides the tools necessary to develop Dante-enabled products built on 32- and 64-bit ARM Cortex-A processors using a Linux operating system, and supports online license activation for OEMs. The SDK allows manufacturers to validate their own designs for performance and capacity, ensuring strong reliability for end users.

Nick Mariette, Product Manager at Audinate, acknowledges that "We are excited to offer the first SDK for Dante as software. We are just beginning to see the changes that software-based product families have brought to the AV industry. ARM-based audio devices are incredibly flexible and cost-effective, and now Dante can be integrated into them to deliver a truly great customer experience."

In addition to support for ARM Cortex-A processors, a Dante Embedded Platform SDK for x86-based audio products is planned for release in the near future.
