Dante Embedded Platform is designed to work in products that run Linux on compact ARM processors as well as large, powerful x86 CPUs. The second of these two products is Dante Embedded Platform.

DANTE VIRTUAL SOUNDCARD PROS AND CONS CODE
Features - Dante Application Libraryĭelivered as code library for Windows and macOS Integration into DAW software looks like an obvious application and although fixed to a 48KHz sample rate, the benefits are clear to see. Each instance of Dante Application Library is tied exclusively to the application in which it is included, allowing multiple applications to each have their own Dante interfaces simultaneously without interference. What this means in practice is that rather than using Dante Virtual Soundcard as a system level virtual Dante interface, the Dante Application Library offers App level Dante integration. The first of these two Dante As Software products, Dante Application Library, puts the functionality of Dante Virtual Soundcard directly into Windows or macOS audio applications for complete control over user experience. With the release of the two products, which form Dante As Software, Audinate are clearly looking to bring as many devices, and therefore users, into the Dante ecosystem as possible. Dante Via offers a way to build software only Dante networks but while a very clever piece of software, Via only offers a partial solution. Software Only Danteĭante Virtual Soundcard has existed for a long time but is designed to be a way to connect a computer to a hardware based Dante network. However, the need for hardware designed for use on a Dante network necessarily excludes all the non-Dante equipment already in the field and the use of proprietary hardware modules carries with it a fixed cost per channel. Because of this the ecosystem of products which support Dante has grown hugely. The use of standard hardware modules offering different channel counts makes product development relatively simple, add a power supply, analogue circuitry, a case and (very simplistically) that’s it. In spite of the traditional reluctance IT professionals have for proprietary solutions, Dante’s adoption has outstripped its competitors because it is simple to use and just as importantly it is simple to implement in hardware. Ravenna and AVB have their place but these days it isn’t unfair to describe the choice as being between Dante or one of the alternatives.
The simplicity of Dante has enabled it to accelerate past its competitors and in a relatively short time it has become close to a de facto standard for AoIP. Audinate have announced Dante ‘As’ Software, two new products that break down the last barrier to devices and users joining the Dante ecosystem - the need for hardware.
