CONNECTING THE DARK8ADI TO A DANTE® NETWORK
The DARK8ADI is a network audio device utilising the reliable and versatile
DANTE® audio over IP protocol. DANTE® is a proprietary system (although very
widely used) the originators of which are Audinate.
The information below is only meant as a very basic guide. Full details of the power
of DANTE® network audio and instructions for using it can be found at
www.audinate.com
Getting DANTE® Controller
If you are connecting the inferno to a new DANTE® network the first thing you will
need to do is to get the free DANTE® controller software from Audinate.
This can be downloaded by visiting Audinate’s web site at
www.audinate.com
Connecting DARK8ADIs To The Network
DARK8ADIs can be connected to the network that you are going to use for your
audio distribution simply by plugging in either, and, or any of the network
connections on the front. Once connected to the network it will be possible to see the
DARK8ADI from within the DANTE® controller and route its’ audio circuits.
Audio Over IP Network
We strongly recommend that you consider your network topology carefully and
would not recommend sharing broadcast audio and general data on the same
network.
