Adtechno Inc., a Japan-based Pro-AV equipment manufacturer, has debuted its Dante AV Ultra encoder and decoder (DAV-02HT and DAV-02HR, respectively), according to a press release.

The devices feature advanced source-switching capabilities, visually lossless video delivery and perfectly synced audio with a single network clock.

Additional features include transmission of up to 8-channel audio, up to 4Kp60 4:4:4 video, and USB and RS-422 serial commands over a 1GbE network, with signal stream management via Dante Controller software.

"We're excited about ADTECHNO's new additions to the Dante AV ecosystem," Joshua Rush, CMO at Audinate, said in a statement quoted by the release. "There's a growing demand for AV over IP systems, particularly in legislative, high-end conference, and educational settings. In such environments where IMAG is a commonly used, Dante AV Ultra delivers subframe latency and perfect lip-sync, so there's no awkward delay between live presenters and audiovisual reinforcement. ADTECHNO DAV-02 is designed specifically for these applications, delivering audio and video with deterministic latency so they never lose sync. This feature streamlines the entire workflow from setup through to the content's ultimate destination, significantly boosting efficiency."
