Audinate, developer of the Dante media networking technology, is giving visitors to ISE 2017 the first opportunity to see the new Dante Domain Manager platform, a complete network management solution, designed to bring enterprise-grade system administration to the AV world.
Dante Domain Manager is designed to allow administrators to secure audio networks from unwanted changes and modifications, and provide the ability to scale and segment audio networks regardless of the physical constraints of the network. With Dante Domain Manager, integrators can define specific AV device groupings, by room, building and site, allowing for the creation of independent Dante Domains and enabling a single Dante Domain to encompass multiple IP subnets.
According to the company press release, “The network domain concept was first successfully pioneered by the IT industry to differentiate and manage multiple private networks within the same infrastructure. Audinate is applying this same approach to AV, customizing the features to the needs of AV professionals and end-users and effectively providing the community with the opportunity to deploy the best strategies and best practices of both AV and IT.”
Dante Domain Manager includes user authentication and control, role administration, and integration with Active Directory. System managers can increase visibility and accountability through a suite of user-defined dashboards, audit trails, alerts, and messages.
“Coupling AV and IT functionality requires deep consideration of the challenges addressed in the design, deployment, and maintenance of AV network systems,” says David Myers, COO, Audinate. “We worked closely with AV and IT integrators, end-users and our partners in the manufacturer community to make sure Dante Domain Manager provides the scale, flexibility, administration, and security of IT to professional AV systems.”
Audinate's Dante Domain Manager will be available in the second half of 2017. ISE show attendees are encouraged to visit Audinate at stand #7-E190 or to learn more.
