From systems integrators to end users across many business verticals, AV professionals have numerous benefits in moving AV systems onto network. Providing flexibility, cost savings, and improved quality, networked AV is rapidly gaining traction.
With the evolution of technology comes the need for continuing education, as nothing remains status quo for long in this business. As technology suppliers, it’s Audinate’s responsibility to evolve with their customers, and provide the insights, support and services that come with technological – and operational – transformations.
With its Dante AV Networking World (AVNW) events, Audinate has long been at the forefront of education in audio-over-IP, a significant piece of the AV/IT convergence universe. From trade shows to road shows, the goal of AVNW events has always been to help AV professionals understand the benefits, enact the technology and reap the rewards of audio-over-IP.
Dante AV Networking World at InfoComm 2017 will offer a new level of certification for all levels of experience.
Audinate is continuing this tradition at InfoComm 2017, with a full day AV Networking World event on June 13th at the Rosen Center Hotel. For attendees that are relatively new to Dante and seeking the basic foundation to get started, Audinate will offer an “Introduction to Dante” track. This session will cover audio networking fundamentals, basic networking concepts, creating a small-scale Dante network, and using Dante Controller and Dante Virtual Soundcard. In the afternoon, this track will delve into Intermediate Dante Concepts, a session covering topics such as Dante redundancy, clocking, latency, multicast and AES67. This track will prepare attendees for Dante Level 1 and Level 2 certification.
New to the course offerings this year is the Advanced Dante Networking course and the Dante Certification Level 3 certification, which is geared toward attendees that are already using Dante, and are looking to create more advanced systems and learn best practices. This session covers in-depth advanced networking concepts, mixed use networks, networking best practices and troubleshooting techniques.
All three sessions align with Audinate’s philosophy of more education in understanding IT/AV convergence and managing Dante-enabled networked systems. No matter where your Dante knowledge rests, there is a track for you.
