Users may view information like a device’s IP address and Dante firmware version on the ‘Device config’ tab.
Double click device name on routing interface to enter detailed settings of the device as shown in figure below:
Channel names can be modified on the transmitter and receiver labels. Channel naming rules are as follows:
The maximum total length for all DSP device names is 16 characters. The name length of devices supported by
Dante is as much as 31 characters. Therefore, ensure that the name length of Dante device names and channel
names are no more than 16 characters when routing by using the interface, or the DSP Controller will cut the
process off, which will result in incorrect subscription.
Names are not case-sensitive. “Guitar” and “guitar” are the same name.
Valid characters include A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and ‘-’.
Device names can't start or end with ‘-’.
Device names shall also be unique on network.
Any characters can be used for naming sending channel labels, except ‘=', ' ’and ‘@'.
Sending channel labels must be unique in the device.
Receiver channel naming has the same rules as transmitter channels.
Device Configuration:
Device configuration refers to device name modification, audio sample rate, and delay. Device names must be
modified following the device name modification rules. Delay needs to be emphasized. If Dante network delay
compensation is needed for various delays at receiving end, there is device setting delay (the interface delay) at
each receiving end. The delay refers to the time difference between samples received at the receiving end and
broadcasted from the transmitter end. The default delay for Dante devices are 1ms, which is adequate for large-
scale networks.
