Yamaha will update Dante products to support AES67 audio network interoperability to allow them to communicate with Ravenna and other audio networks via AES67.
AES67 is an audio-over-IP interoperability standard established by the Audio Engineering Society (AES) in September 2013. The Ravenna network by ALC NetworX is AES67 compatible and upcoming AES67 compatibility has been announced for the Q-LAN network from QSC and the Livewire network from Axis Audio.
In February 2014, Audinate announced that Dante would be updated to support AES67. Yamaha plans to successively update Dante-equipped products with device and Dante firmware updates that will add AES67 support, beginning with the CL/QL series digital mixing consoles and R-series I/O units later this year.
