11. About Dante 11. About Dante ■ An overview of Dante In addition to analog input and output, the PC-D/DI series uses Dante as the protocol for conveying digital audio signals. Dante is a network audio protocol developed by the Audinate Corporation. In a network environment that supports gigabit Ethernet, this protocol can transfer multiple audio signals of differing sampling frequencies and bit rates as well as device control signals across the same network.
11. About Dante 11.1. Connection methods There are two methods of connecting a PC-D/DI series unit to a Dante network, and you can use a combination of these methods. 11.1.1. Redundant connection A redundant connection allows you to construct a system that is more resistant to network malfunctions than a daisy-chained network. A redundant connection consists of two circuits, a primary and a secondary.
11. About Dante 11.1.2. Daisy-chain connection Daisy-chain is the connection method in which units are connected from one unit to the next like the links of a chain. Construction of the network is simple, and a network switch is not required. Connecting numerous units will increase the communication delay with the last unit, so it will be necessary to increase the latency to prevent interruptions of sound on the Dante network.
11. About Dante 11.2. Dante settings If you are using this PC-D/DI series unit connected to a Dante network, you’ll need to make various Dante-related settings in the DANTE screen. Dante screen For details on each function, refer to "NETWORK screen"－Dante. 11.3. Connections to Dante devices 11.3.1. About Dante Controller Dante Controller is application software for setting-up a Dante network and for routing the audio.
