Grass Valley (January 11, 2024) – AJA Video Systems Today, Dante AV 4K v1.1 was released, which is its Dante AV 4K-T and 4K-R Transmitter/receiver converters for streaming and controlling ultra-low latency, professional-quality 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD/VESA Dante video and audio to and from 12G-SDI or HDMI 2.0 devices over 1 GigE Dante AV networks. Available now free downloadThis powerful update expands the capabilities of both devices and delivers user-inspired improvements to meet the demands of modern workflows and provide AV professionals with greater on-set flexibility as they integrate high-quality, visually lossless video into a variety of AV-over-IP environments.
As High Dynamic Range (HDR) workflows become increasingly popular in broadcast, production and professional AV, AJA Dante AV 4K v1.1 provides support for HDR, ensuring that HDR signals pass seamlessly through the device and that users can easily change HDR metadata on the received output. This release also introduces support for Ref In for AJA Dante AV 4K-R, so things like AJA GEN 10 HD/SD Sync Generator This can be used to lock the output of 4K-R when the signal must be combined with other baseband device outputs and sources. In addition, AJA Dante AV 4K v1.1 activates a second locking Ethernet port (Eth2) on the device, allowing users to connect a second device to their Dante AV switch without having to run a second Ethernet cable directly to the switch.
With the update, new cropping and scaling features for 4K-R will be available, allowing users to easily scale 4K to UHD and downscale UHD to HD, with the ability to choose between automatic, native and cropped 4K to UHD/scaled UHD to HD. AJA Dante AV 4K v1.1 also validates selected 4K and 8K 4×4 workflows, where an AJA 4K-T signal can be sent to four 4K-Rs and all four outputs are confirmed to be in time and in sync, which is critical in a live production setting where all four outputs must be perfectly timed. 3G Level B 4:2:2 10-bit high frame rate is also now supported. Added compatibility with Audinate’s Dante Domain Manager, available from leading resellers worldwide, ensures that AJA 4K-R and 4K-T users can leverage the solution’s API to control Dante via a touchscreen, monitor status and automate workflows.
Commenting on the update, Wim Roose, Senior Product Manager at Audinate, said: “AJA has proven to be a great addition to the Dante AV family and we are delighted to see customers around the world adopting AJA Dante AV 4K-T and 4K-R to take full advantage of Dante audio for synchronized, high quality, ultra-low latency networked video. It is great to see AJA deliver new updates less than a year after launching their product and we look forward to continuing to work with them which will help advance IP workflows in the pro AV and media & entertainment sectors.”
