DiGiCo announced that it will be using Audinate's Dante digital networking solution and that it would launch two new Dante implemented products at Prolight+Sound. The first new product is an eight channel I/O module for the SD-Rack that lets users drop audio on and off a Dante network for connection to system control, amplifiers and general audio networks. The second is the Dante DMI (DiGiCo Multichannel Interface) card, which can be added to either a D-Rack or SD-Rack and lets users connect the I/O rack, via CAT5, to a standard PC or MAC.
Dante provides a migration path to upgrade to new standards such as the IEEE Audio Video Bridging ("AVB"), and by using newly released DiGiCo-Control software, the user can control all the functions of the rack via a standard network connection. This control includes pre amp gains, 48v and access to most DAWs for recording via the Dante network. All of this is enabled via one CAT5 cable, with the ability to have a second connection offering recording redundancy.
