The Netherlands - intoPIX, leading provider of image processing technologies for professional media applications, has announced that Audinate, leading provider of professional digital audio networking technologies, will use intoPIX’s ProAV optimised ultra-low-latency JPEG 2000 technology within its new Dante AV Design Suite for use with the newly-announced Dante AV Module.
At ISE 2019, Audinate is launching Dante AV as a video-capable extension to the popular audio-over-IP ecosystem Dante. It provides ease-of-use, seamless multi-vendor interoperability and integrated control experience.
The incorporation of intoPIX’s unique technology plays a crucial role in the system to deliver a visually lossless 4K60 4:4:4 HDR video experience within a standard 1 Gigabit Ethernet network with no latency, the company says.
Gael Rouvroy, intoPIX CEO and director of technology states: “Unlike normal JPEG 2000 solutions, our codec reduces latency down to 10 milliseconds and is more suitable for Pro-AV content – two features crucial to the industry.”
intoPIX’s JPEG 2000 enables Dante AV to: create 4K multi-screen environments, allowing audio to be routed wherever desired; deliver perfect lip-sync during live presentations with video thanks to ultra-low latency; easily deploy and manage video walls at lower cost thanks to the utilization of Cat 5e cables and switchers; simplify installation and use of conference rooms that combine video and audio media.
“Although the Dante AV Module is designed to be codec agnostic, we felt it was in the best interest of our OEM customers to have the codec already integrated as part of the Dante AV Product Design Suite,” says Lee Ellison, CEO of Audinate. “This development by Audinate to incorporate the intoPIX JPEG 2000 into the Dante Product Design Suite will enable OEMs to quickly deliver a complete Dante AV solution accelerating their time to market.”
