Adtechno DAV-CNX1 | Dante Device Control Box
The DAV-CNX1 features a newly designed management interface that follows the established operational concepts of Dante Controller, enabling all Dante device operations—including routing, monitoring, network configuration, and user management—to be performed entirely within a web browser, without the need for dedicated software. In addition to browser-based access from a PC or tablet, the device includes HDMI output and USB HID ports, allowing direct connection to a touchscreen monitor for fully standalone, PC-free operation.
The unit is equipped with dual Ethernet ports for Dante Primary and Secondary networks, supporting Dante Redundancy for reliable and continuous system operation. A dedicated Control Ethernet port provides secure access from a network isolated from the Dante network. Through its open API, the DAV-CNX1 supports external control via Telnet, or RS-232 communication, enabling seamless integration with third-party control systems as well as control of built-in GPIO and relay terminals.
The DAV-CNX1 also includes a Preset (Scene) function for one-touch switching between preconfigured Dante routing setups. In addition, Webhook Outbound support allows the system to send HTTP notifications to external platforms, enabling integration with collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams and Slack, as well as automation and RPA workflows.
Features
Intuitive browser-based Control Interface for Dante Systems
The DAV Control Nexus adopts a Browser-based Web GUI that follows the established operational workflow of Dante Controller, enabling centralized management of visual matrix-style routing, device information, clock status, and event logs directly from a web browser. No dedicated software installation is required.

PC-Free Web GUI Operation via Touchscreen Display
By connecting a touchscreen display directly to the HDMI and USB HID ports, the DAV Control Nexus enables full Browser-based Web GUI operation without the need for a PC. This standalone configuration allows users to control Dante routing and system management intuitively through touch, reducing system complexity and improving reliability in permanent installations.
GPIO and Relay Control for External System Integration
The DAV Control Nexus features GPIO ports that support both input and output operation, along with built-in relay outputs. These interfaces enable flexible interaction with external devices such as sensors, switches, and indicators. Using open API commands via Telnet or RS-232 communication, users can trigger Dante routing changes, recall presets, and control external equipment, enabling seamless system automation and integration.
Dante Redundancy Support
The DAV Control Nexus supports Dante Redundancy through dedicated Primary and Secondary Ethernet ports. By connecting to redundant Dante networks, the system ensures continuous operation even in the event of a network failure. This design enhances reliability and is ideal for mission-critical environments such as live events, broadcast facilities, and permanent AV installations.
Smart Notifications with Webhook Integration
DAV Control Nexus supports webhook outbound functionality, allowing the system to send HTTP notifications to external services when specific events occur. This enables status updates, alerts, and workflow automation, and allows seamless integration with collaboration tools, monitoring systems, and RPA platforms.
Open API Integration
By sending API commands over Telnet or network communication, or via RS-232 serial communication, the DAV-CNX1 can be flexibly integrated with major third-party control systems. This enables a wide range of automation and system integration, including external control of Dante routing, system status reference, and preset switching.
