Who we are and what we do

Audinate leads the world in networked media with our "Dante" technology used extensively in professional audio / video installations including live events, broadcast, entertainment venues and communications systems.

Adopted by hundreds of manufacturers in thousands of products, Dante is the de facto standard for modern AV connectivity.
