Audinate Group Limited is pleased to announce that Sennheiser, Symetrix and Powersoft have joined as new partners adopting Dante Media Encryption into Dante-enabled products. Dante Media Encryption protects the content of Dante media flows between devices using strong AES-256 encryption, safeguarding media from interception or unauthorized access.
Dante is a complete, easy-to-use AV-over-IP platform that is interoperable across more than 4,000 products from over 600 manufacturers, integrating best-in-class audio, video, control, and management features. This interoperability provides customers with the unique opportunity to adopt end-to-end encryption between connected products while enabling the flexibility to choose products from multiple manufacturers that best fit the needs of each solution.
The convergence of AV and IT network technologies has increased the demand for security-conscious designs and adherence to emerging regulations. The unique multilayer security architecture of the Dante Platform provides manufacturers and systems integrators an easy way to configure Dante and their products to meet new regulations.
“We are pleased to partner with Audinate to bring Dante Media Encryption to market,” said Charlie Jones, Senior Partner Relations Manager, Business Communications, Sennheiser. “As an independent 3rd party working with over 600 manufacturers, Audinate is uniquely positioned in the industry to provide a manufacturer-agnostic, interoperable encryption solution that customers desire.”
Dante Media Encryption can be enabled via a firmware update for many existing Dante devices. Dante Media Encryption capabilities are fully compatible between updated devices in managed Dante networks.
“Audinate makes it easy to adopt Dante Media Encryption to add valuable customer-focused security features,” said Quinn Klarer, Product Manager at Symetrix. “Using Dante, we can provide solutions that quickly meet our fast-evolving customer needs without any updates to existing hardware.”
Dante Media Encryption is enabled through Dante management software, including Dante Director and Dante Domain Manager, which provide secure access controls, network segmentation, policy management, event logging, strong encryption key management and key rotation for enrolled devices.
“Adopting Dante Media Encryption helps Powersoft meet media security standards that we are seeing implemented in locations worldwide,” noted Filippo Digiugno, R&D Manager of Powersoft. “By integrating Dante as the protocol for media encryption we gain a secure foundation that spans across multiple manufacturers, enabling our customers to build safe, reliable, and future-proof systems.”
