Audinate has announced the availability of Dante Virtual Soundcard for installation in virtual Windows environments using Type-1 hypervisors. This update targerts broadcasters, educators and corporate users wishing to use Dante networked audio throughout data centres, studios, server clusters and campuses.
Dante Virtual Soundcard interfaces directly with audio software running on virtual machines, allowing distribution of media playback and centralised recording.
Turning any computer into a Dante endpoint for networked audio, Dante Virtual Soundcard provides a standard WDM or ASIO audio interface that allows any installed audio software to send and receive up to 64 channels of lossless audio over a standard 1Gbps network to any Dante-enabled A/V endpoints, including other instances of Dante Virtual Soundcard. Dante Virtual Soundcard is an ideal solution for computer-driven media playback, multichannel recording and lecture capture, and is fully compatible with the more than 2,000 Dante-enabled products available from multiple vendors.
‘Dante Virtual Soundcard is already the gold standard for professional recording and playback on thousands of networks around the world,’ says Senior Product Manager, Nick Mariette. ‘We want to ensure using virtualised environments get the same reliable high performance that has made Dante Virtual Soundcard the workhorse of the audio industry.’
Dante Virtual Soundcard with support for installation on virtual machines is available from Audinate in multi-activation licence editions only, and cannot be purchased from the Audinate web store.
