The Audinate Group has introduced Dante Brooklyn 3 audio networking module and Dante Fremont 3 AV networking module. The new modules are pin-compatible replacements for the Dante Brooklyn 2 and Dante Fremont modules, and have been redesigned to ensure continuous availability while delivering support for current and future Dante features.
The Dante Brooklyn module family is the most widely deployed implementation of Dante, and is used in hundreds of mixing consoles, DSP units and amplifiers. The Dante Brooklyn 3 audio module is available in 8x8 to 64x64 channel SKUs, delivering ultra-low latency networked audio in a small footprint and supporting the complete suite of Dante audio features.
The original Dante Fremont module supported Dante AV; the new Dante Fremont 3 is fully compatible with Dante Fremont designs and supports low-latency Dante AV-over-IP along with 8x8 channels of Dante audio for use in encoders, decoders, PTZ cameras, AV-over-IP monitors, format converters and matrix products.
‘These new Dante modules help to alleviate supply constraints,’ says Audinate Senior VP of Product Development, Chris Ware. ‘We re-engineered our most popular products to ensure steady availability in the foreseeable future, while improving the designs in anticipation of upcoming Dante features. Dante Brooklyn 3 and Dante Fremont 3 modules are direct replacements for earlier versions, so manufacturers can put them into immediate production.’
Dante Brooklyn 3 and Dante Fremont 3 are members of the Dante ecosystem and are fully compatible with all other Dante devices. All Dante devices may be routed, managed, secured and monitored using Dante Controller and Dante Domain Manager for end-to-end AV connectivity over standard gigabit IP networks.
Samples of both modules will be available to manufacturers in Q3 2022, and will start shipping in production quantities in Q4 2022.
