Dante

Overview

Dante is a program and protocol made by Audinate for AVL purposes. It allows you to plug in audio and/or video devices into switches to provide transmission of sound and video between all of these devices. The benefits are similar to VOIP in that you reduce the need for even more wires. The potential setback is that it most often runs on Multicast and if plugged in to the wrong Network can bog down traffic when not properly configured and maintained, even to the point of making the entire network unusable.
