SipMX for Dante® & AES67
Your audio transport stays. You gain unified video + audio management.
The Challenge
Dante® is widely deployed in professional audio. But facilities that use both Dante® audio and IP video (ST 2110, IPMX, NDI®) often require separate control tools for each domain. There is no built-in way to combine audio and video for WAN contribution, and no standard mechanism to federate audio devices across sites within a unified NMOS workflow.
The Solution
Many Dante®-enabled devices support AES67 interoperability mode. When enabled, they emit standard AES67 streams compatible with ST 2110-30 audio. SipMX Gateway receives these open-standard streams and bridges them into the NMOS ecosystem — using only published, open protocols. Audio devices appear in the same crosspoint as cameras and routers. Gateway discovery and chained routing follow SIPMX-BCP-009-01.
What Dante®/AES67 Users Gain
Unified Audio + Video Control
Dante®-enabled consoles, ST 2110 routers, NDI-compatible cameras, and IPMX encoders — all visible in one crosspoint. Manage audio and video routing from a single NMOS interface.
Audio + Video Muxing
Combine Dante®-enabled console audio with NDI-compatible or IPMX camera video into a single RIST MPTS stream. Unified WAN contribution from facilities with mixed ecosystems.
IS-08 Channel Mapping
Manage audio channel mapping for AES67 devices from the same interface as ST 2110-30 audio. Consistent channel assignment across all audio protocols.
Open Standards Only
SipMX Gateway receives standard AES67 RTP streams — the open interoperability mode defined by the AES67 standard. No proprietary SDKs or per-device licenses are required on the gateway side.
For Dante®/AES67 Users & Manufacturers
Whether you're a facility deploying AES67 equipment or a manufacturer building Dante-enabled devices — there's a clear path into NMOS-managed workflows.
External Gateway
For facilities — deploy today, zero device changes
Deploy SipMX Gateway at your facility. Many Dante®-enabled devices already support AES67 interoperability. The gateway receives standard AES67 streams and bridges them into NMOS workflows. Unified audio + video routing — with zero firmware changes.
Embedded Gateway
For manufacturers — ship NMOS bridging inside your appliance
Bundle SipMX Gateway (with the DeviceSDK built in) directly inside your audio product. Your mixing console or DSP ships with NMOS bridging out of the box — your customers don't need a separate gateway. AES67 audio is translated to RIST internally, and the device registers as a full NMOS node. No firmware rewrite required.
Native DeviceSDK
For manufacturers — deepest integration, lowest latency
Integrate the SipMX DeviceSDK directly into your firmware (~20 lines of code). Your device becomes a native NMOS node — IS-04 discoverable alongside cameras and routers, IS-08 channel-mappable, IS-07 tally-integrated — with no translation layer. Dante/AES67 is no longer in the picture: your device feeds media directly via UDP to the NMOS ecosystem. Lower latency and more robust than the embedded gateway approach because there is no protocol conversion at all.
SIPMX Certification
Premium positioning in the ecosystem
Full interoperability with all SIPMX workflows: crosspoint routing, multi-site federation, WAN transport, and enterprise security. Available for both embedded gateway and native DeviceSDK integrations.
Dante®/AES67 Use Cases with SipMX
Live Events
Dante®-enabled mixing console + NDI-compatible cameras on-site, RIST contribution to the remote broadcast center. One stream, one control interface, one monitoring dashboard.
Houses of Worship
Dante®-enabled audio mixing with IPMX video, RIST contribution to streaming platforms or satellite campuses. IS-08 channel mapping for consistent audio routing.
Corporate AV
Dante®-enabled DSP processors + conference cameras, routed through SipMX to remote offices via RIST. Centralized management across the campus.
Broadcast Facilities
AES67-enabled audio consoles alongside ST 2110 infrastructure. SipMX manages both from the same crosspoint — unified control for audio and video.
