Scorpio Preliminary User Guide

Scorpio is capable of connecting to a Dante network, receiving and
sending up to 32 channels of audio simultaneously at sample rates
from 44.1 kHz up to 96 kHz and 16 channels at 192 kHz. Scorpio
channels 1-16 may be sourced from Dante receive channels 1-16.
Scorpio channels 17-32 may be sourced from Dante receive channels
17-32. Each Dante input may be selected as a source in the channel
setup menu. Each Dante output may be sourced from Isos (pre- or
post-fader), Buses, and Outputs (post-delay). All network routing
should be done through Audinate’s Dante Controller application,
found at www.audinate.com. Once the initial conguration has been
performed, the Scorpio will keep its Dante conguration through
power cycles. It is recommended that in most situations Scorpio is
selected as “Preferred Master” under the “Clock Status” tab of Dante
Controller.
