HDR support
The Dante AV 4K-T now supports popular HDR workflows – HDR HLG and PQ (HDMI: RGB and YUV – SDI: YUV only).
The Dante AV 4K-R can now receive HDR signals and output them simultaneously to both HDMI and SDI outputs. Video output control in the AJA Control plug-in in Audinate Dante Controller allows the user to choose between Auto, SDR, HLG, and PQ HDR formats.
Colorimetry can be set between Auto, BT.709 or BT.2020.

Dante AV 4K-T and 4K-R: Audinate Partnership
“Dante AV is Audinate’s complete, turnkey 1 GigE networking solution that works the way AV-over-IP should. It delivers the ease of use, interoperability, and integrated control experience customers have come to expect from Dante, with perfect time alignment and independently routable audio and video streams. Dante AV is fully interoperable with over 3,000 Dante-enabled audio products on the market today for a simple, complete system design that brings the full Dante toolset to AV-over-IP.”
-Joshua Rush, Chief Marketing Officer, Audinate
Cut/Scale Function
The AJA Dante AV 4K-R now includes a convenient addition for cropping and resizing. Full 4K (4096x2160) can be cropped to UltraHD, or 2K can be cropped to HD. UltraHD can be downscaled to HD.
Dante Domain Manager
Dante Domain Manager is an enterprise-grade Dante AV management platform that manages user access, device security, cross-network domain creation and management, and seamlessly monitors your Dante AV across multiple networks. The new API lets you control Dante from touch panels, monitor status, and automate workflows.
Audinate's Dante Domain Manager is available from valued resellers worldwide.
Dante controller
Use Dante Controller software on macOS or Windows to set up the routing of your video and audio signal. Use this application to set up video and audio routing between Dante devices, including Dante AV 4K-T and 4K-R, manage the video and audio connections in your Dante array, and move audio and video over an Ethernet network in real time. For more information, see the Dante AV 4K Quick Start Guide.
Dante Via
Use Dante Via to configure audio devices to appear on the Dante network; for example, to have the audio portion of AJA's Dante AV 4K-T and 4K-R appear as separate audio source channels on the Dante network.
Dante Virtual Sound Card
A Dante Virtual Soundcard emulates a physical PC or Mac soundcard, but instead of connecting to actual physical audio devices like a microphone, it connects to the Dante network. It can receive audio signals from the Dante network, including Dante AV 4K-T and 4K-R, and present them to your DAW application just as a normal physical soundcard would.
Multi-location HDR workflow with home reference integration
This workflow demonstrates the deployment of 4K HDR cameras at a remote location connected over a private network. The HDR video and audio signal is encoded to Dante AV Ultra and sent over the Eth 1 POE+ port, while the Eth 2 port at the remote location connects to the Dante Network to oversee the production and manage Dante AV 4K-T settings.
The Dante AV Ultra HDR signal is decoded at the broadcast centre and time aligned by an AJA GEN10 which provides house synchronisation to the Dante AV 4K-R receivers, the Ki Pro Ultra 12G used for video display, and the UltraHD HDR switcher.
Conference/Education Workflow
Quickly and cost-effectively add high-quality video to a 1 GigE network with the added ability to use RS-422 control to remotely operate a PTZ camera with the Dante AV 4K-T and 4K-R transmitters and receivers.
Sports hall workflow
The Dante AV 4K-T and 4K-R transmitter and receiver offer an efficient and cost-effective way to up your game by enabling embedded (up to) 4K video and audio to be sent over a 1 GigE network to the broadcast center. The AJA ColorBox provides in-line color management before the signal reaches the switcher, for precise camera color matching and therefore program color control. The program signal can then be encoded via the AJA BRIDGE LIVE high-performance transcoding solution and sent directly to a CDN.
Medium HOW Workflow
Take your Dante audio network to the next level by adding cinema-quality Dante AV Ultra to your worship services, all on the 1 GigE Dante audio network. Dante AV 4K-T and 4K-R transmitters and receivers feature IR transmit and receive capabilities, also allowing for control integration with other devices.

Notes:
1. VESA Formats are always RGB 4:4:4 60 8-bit
2. Only one input can be used at a time. Unit will auto-detect source, or user can select input in software if both SDI & HDMI inputs are connected.
*If a connected monitor doesn’t support HDMI protocol, the unit automatically switches to DVI protocol (which does not pass audio).
