Thought this community might be interested in the announcement of Dante AV by Audinate.
With Audinate's new chipset and dev boards, Dante is no longer an audio-only solution and one would expect to see some percentage of the 1600 licensed Dante audio vendors introduce a combined AV product in the coming months.
While not open source like AVB, Dante is the leading AoIP standard by virtue of the number of supporting vendors and have the potential to make in-roads in the video market. I do believe licensing is more expensive than Newtek's NDI solution which already has a large number of vendors itself.
That said, it might be more palatable for a vendor - say someone like Blackmagic who make switchers, etc that compete with Newtek - to go the Audinate Dante AV route. I'd love to see an ATEM 4K with integrated AV-over-IP support ingesting video from cameras with native AVoIP built-in or via small HDMI-to-IP dongles.
With Dante's significant vendor support in the audio space, Dante AV presents any opportunity to unify multichannel audio with video in locations (houses of worship, concert facilities, etc) where Dante-ready gear is already in use.
Here's hoping we see Blackmagic jump into networked AV with cameras, switchers, storage, etc in the near future (NAB 2019 perhaps?)
