Turtle AV: Early Industry Recognition Driven by Innovation in AV over IP and Dante
Turtle AV officially launched on January 15, 2025, with a focus on practical, engineering-led solutions across AV over IP, Dante audio and video, USB extenders, control systems and video wall processors.
Since launch, the company has received multiple independent industry awards across global events. This recognition has largely followed a series of product innovations, including the integration of Dante Controller functionality directly into hardware and the development of a broader ecosystem spanning Dante AV-A video and Dante audio solutions.
These approaches address common challenges in modern AV systems, including system complexity, fragmented control, and the separation of audio and video workflows.
AV Start Up of the Year
In 2025, Turtle AV was named AV Start Up of the Year at the AV Awards 2025 in London.
The AV Awards recognise companies and technologies across the global professional AV industry, including AV over IP, control systems and integrated media solutions.

Summary
Within its first year, Turtle AV has been recognised across multiple independent platforms covering AV over IP, Dante, Dante AV, USB extenders, control systems and video wall processors.
This recognition has followed the introduction of new approaches to system design, including hardware-based control, tighter integration between audio and video over IP, and simplified deployment models for modern AV environments.
These developments have contributed to early engagement across the global commercial AV market and reflect broader industry interest in more integrated, network-based AV solutions.
