AJA, a leading manufacturer of video and audio interface technologies, unveiled a new product at NAB 2023 that promises to be a game-changer for the video and audio industry. The Dante AV solution combines high-quality, ultra-low latency video with a Dante audio network, which makes it possible to send video signals to any device on the network.
Barry Goch, the Product Marketing Manager of AJA, shared that the company has expanded beyond its mini converters and now offers digital recorders and various other products in the marketplace.
The Dante AV solution is a new addition that builds on the company's expertise in audio and video technologies. "Dante is a well-established audio networking protocol," Goch explained in an exclusive interview with APB+.
"And what we've done is we're adding high quality, ultra-low latency video to your Dante audio network. It takes in 12 G-SDI or HDMI and converts that signal into the Dante network."
AJA's Dante AV solution is expected to be a popular choice for video professionals, especially given the ongoing shift towards remote workflows due to the COVID pandemic. In response to this trend, AJA has created a remote workflow solution on its website, aja.com, which includes highlighted products like the Io, Io x3, and IO 4k Plus, that are designed to operate in remote environments.
"We have a number of highlighted products such as our Io, Io x3, and IO 4k Plus, that are designed to work in a remote environment," Goch said.
The Dante AV solution has already generated considerable buzz within the industry. John Smith, a video engineer at ABC News, commented that "the addition of video is very exciting. I can see this being a game-changer for live events and remote productions."
The Dante AV solution is expected to be available later this year.
AJA's ability to add high-quality, ultra-low latency video to a Dante audio network represents a significant step forward in the company's mission to provide innovative solutions for video and audio professionals.
Overall, the introduction of the Dante AV solution at NAB Show 2023 is a significant development for AJA and the video and audio industry as a whole. With its potential to revolutionise live events and remote productions, the product is poised to become an industry standard.
AJA continues to be a leading player in the video and audio technology space, providing cutting-edge solutions that enable professionals to work more efficiently and effectively.
