Dante Level 3 Certified

Event Network Engineering

Mission-critical network infrastructure for live events — Dante audio, NDI video, QoS, redundancy, and complete touring rack solutions.

Dante Network Design & Deployment

As a Dante Certification Level 3 holder, we design, deploy, and manage audio-over-IP networks that meet the most demanding live production requirements. From single-stage corporate events to multi-venue festivals, we deliver reliable, low-latency audio distribution over standard Ethernet infrastructure.

Every Dante deployment includes:

  • Network Topology Design — Star, daisy-chain, or redundant ring topologies tailored to venue requirements
  • Clock Domain Planning — PTP (IEEE 1588) grandmaster clock configuration for sample-accurate synchronisation
  • Channel Routing — Dante Controller configuration with up to 256 bidirectional channels per network
  • VLAN Segmentation — Isolate audio, control, and general traffic for maximum reliability
  • Latency Optimisation — Sub-millisecond latency tuning for critical monitoring paths

Redundancy & QoS Configuration

Live events demand zero-failure networks. We implement dual-path redundancy across all critical audio and video streams, with automatic failover that is inaudible to audiences and imperceptible to operators.

Quality of Service (QoS)

Proper QoS configuration is essential when audio, video, and control share the same infrastructure. We implement DSCP-based priority queuing to ensure:

  • Dante audio traffic gets highest priority (EF/DSCP 46)
  • PTP clock synchronisation is never delayed (CS7/DSCP 56)
  • NDI video receives guaranteed bandwidth allocation
  • Control traffic (OSC, MIDI, Art-Net) is prioritised over best-effort
  • Multicast optimisation with IGMP snooping prevents network flooding

NDI Video Workflows

NDI (Network Device Interface) enables real-time video production over IP networks. We design converged AV-over-IP infrastructures where Dante audio and NDI video coexist reliably on the same physical network.

  • NDI source discovery and routing across VLANs
  • Bandwidth planning for multiple simultaneous NDI streams
  • NDI|HX and NDI 5 support for cameras and devices
  • Integration with vMix, OBS, TriCaster, and Resolume
  • IMAG and streaming distribution workflows
