Multi-Site, HDR Workflow with House Reference Integration
The Dante AV Ultra HDR signal is decoded in the broadcast center and is time aligned by an AJA GEN10 providing house sync to the Dante AV 4K-R receivers, the Ki Pro Ultra 12G being used for video playback, and the UltraHD HDR switcher.

Conference/Education Workflow

Dante AV and Networking
As an IP video product, the Dante AV 4K-R need to be connected to a Dante network, either an existing network you might have for working with Dante audio or a new Dante purpose built network for Dante AV Ultra. In either case, for initial setup, the AJA Dante AV 4K-R will need to be connected to a customer-supplied Mac or PC with the latest version of Dante Controller software from Audinate. Dante AV Ultra requires a managed network switch for operation.
