Etere also supports Dante audio technology which enables near-zero latency and synchronization for superior audio quality.

Etere Nunzio Player delivers an integrated control for all your newsroom playout streams on a single screen. The dashboard displays important information such as the duration of each clip, the status of each clip, description of each segment, story and clip in real-time. When the software starts, it automatically displays all the rundown that are approved. In addition, it loads the files in priority according to the status in the system. For example, On-Air clips are automatically loaded first followed by the next-in-line and cued clips.

Etere Nunzio Player is designed to handle large, diverse sets of information with dynamic changes. It features a distributed system architecture that enables a reliable and fault-resilient performance. Whenever there are changes in the rundown, Nunzio Player automatically updates the information to reflect its real-time status.
