Seamless Dante integration brings high-performance IP audio networking to software-defined production workflows
MONTREAL, CANADA - September 3, 2025 - Grass Valley, the leading provider of end-to-end live media production solutions, announced today the integration of native Dante audio networking within its AMPP (Agile Media Processing Platform), through a new strategic collaboration with Audinate, the pioneer behind the Dante AV-over-IP platform.
This partnership brings seamless Dante connectivity directly into AMPP, allowing users to discover, manage, and route Dante audio streams without external hardware. With support for up to 128 128 bidirectional channels and latency as low as 1ms, the integration delivers robust audio capabilities across any AMPP-powered workflow.
By incorporating Dante into AMPP, Grass Valley is enabling agile, software-defined audio routing that aligns with modern production demands, whether in a studio, on location, or in the cloud. The new functionality is fully integrated into AMPP's microservices architecture, and is deployed, scaled and managed like any other AMPP service. This allows operators to mix Dante sources alongside other IP audio formats within the GV Media Universe.
For the first time, Dante I/O is available through AMPP's flexible licensing model, offering hourly and monthly subscription options. This gives customers instant, cost-effective access to professional audio networking enabling rapid deployment for short-term productions, seasonal events, or dynamic scaling needs.
The addition of native Dante support marks a significant step in expanding the flexibility and openness of AMPP, said Adam Marshall, Chief Product Officer at Grass Valley. Customers can now incorporate Dante audio into their software-defined workflows with no extra hardware or long-term commitments, dramatically increasing both agility and efficiency.
The integration benefits a broad range of users across sectors including broadcast, live events, corporate AV, worship, education, and esports-industries increasingly turning to remote production and distributed workflows.
Key highlights include:
Native integration of Dante audio within AMPP
Flexible licensing, with hourly and monthly access models
Support for up to 128 input and 128 output channels with low latency
Software-based interoperability with other IP audio standards
Deployment across cloud, on-prem, or hybrid environments
This partnership reflects the accelerating shift to IP-based media infrastructure, said Chris Ware, Senior Vice President, Product Development at Audinate. By integrating Dante into AMPP, Grass Valley is offering a powerful platform for modern audio workflows, built to scale for everything from small studios to enterprise-grade distributed productions.
The solution also supports the use of Dante Domain Manager for effective device management across complex network installations, including the creation of multiple clocking domains, management and routing of signals across VLANs and subnets, creation and management of AES67 & ST2110 device domains, and effective monitoring of the overall Dante system status.
