Audinate accelerates IP with more open Dante at NAB 2026

Audinate shows in NAB 2026 ST 2110-30 enhanced capabilities, new expanded monitoring and management functions, and PTZ camera control capabilities Dante, an ecosystem prepared to integrate audio, video and control in broadcast and audiovisual production environments.

Dante, that this year celebrates its 20th anniversary, has evolved from a network protocol audio until it becomes a plataforma de red AV wider for use in multiple environments. Currently, more than 4,500 products compatible with Dante over 700 manufacturers.

In NAB 2026, Audinate will demonstrate how Dante can “redefine what is possible” with new features such as improved workflow support ST 2110-30 in broadcast studios or mobile units. The latest system capabilities also include support for a sample rate of 96 kHz, options additional settings for RTP streams and PTPv2 synchronization, and expanded multicast address ranges.

NAB visitors can attend demos in which the capabilities of Dante monitoring, management and cloud for distributed production environments. These processes are centralized with Dante Director Professional, SaaS solution for monitoring and security of network devices. Dante also demonstrates at the Las Vegas event how it supports cloud-based production environments, including the platform AMPP of Grass Valley.

Likewise, Audinate highlights the possibilities of the ecosystem Dante AV, enabling the distribution of high-quality, low-latency video over networks Gigabit Ethernet standard. With this system, production teams can route audio and video signals quality over existing Dante-compatible networks, reducing the need for separate audio and video networks. On the other hand, the platform will demonstrate its ability to facilitate the transition to network video: from the integration of existing SDI equipment in the network, to the connection of Dante-compatible cameras and software terminals.

Iris, for the first time inside the Audinate stand

Acquired by Audinate in July 2025, Iris is exhibited for the first time integrated into the stand of its new owner: a solution based on cloud which replaces the traditional hardware drivers through an interface accessible through the browser. The system allows you to control the cameras remotely in a wide range of production environments: from meeting rooms until places of worship and sports productions.

In all these environments, Iris allows teams coordinate multi-camera workflows in different connected locations and environments using any camera, without the need additional infrastructure. The new Iris platform also includes automation elements with AI, who are in charge of tracking, framing and presets so that teams can focus on production and not on operating the cameras.
