MODEL 207
eSPORTS CONSOLE
OS X® operating systems. The Model 207
uses the Ultimo 4-input/4-output integrated
circuit to implement the Dante functionality.
The Model 207 is compatible with the Dante
Domain Manager (DDM) software applica-
tion. It can also be configured for AES67 op-
eration. This requires a setting to be enabled
within the Device Info section of the Dante
Controller application.
The four Dante transmitter (Tx) channels
associated with the Model 207’s Dante
interface must be assigned to the desired
receiver channels on associated equipment.
This will route the Model 207’s four output
audio channels to the device (or devices)
that will be “listening” to them. Within Dante
Controller a “subscription” is the term used
for routing a transmitter flow (a group of out-
put channels) to a receiver flow (a group of
input channels).
The number of transmitter flows associated
with an Ultimo integrated circuit and, as such
the Model 207, is limited to two. These can
either be unicast, multicast, or a combination
of the two. (Note that in the AES67 mode the
four transmitter (output) channels will func-
tion in multicast; unicast is not supported.)
If the Model 207’s transmitter channels
need to be routed to more than two flows
it’s possible that an intermediary device with
enhanced flow capability, such as the Studio
Technologies’ Model 5422 Dante Intercom
Audio Engine, can be used to “repeat” the
signals. (Use the Model 5422’s pass-thru
group configuration mode to provide this
resource.)
The desired audio sources need to be routed
to the receiver (Rx) channels associated with
the Model 207’s Dante audio inputs. The unit
provides four audio input channels although
the exact number utilized will depend on
the specific application. Following the unit’s
headphone source and routing configuration
selections these audio signals will be sent to
the Model 207’s 2-channel headphone output.
The Model 207 supports audio sample rates
of 44.1 and 48 kHz with no pull-up/pull-down
values available. In most cases it’s antici-
pated that the default rate of 48 KHz will be
appropriate. While technically the Model 207
can serve as a clock master for a Dante net-
work (as can all Dante-enabled devices)
in virtually all cases the unit will be configured
to receive “sync” from another device.
The Model 207 has a default Dante device
name of ST-M207- along with a unique suffix.
The suffix identifies the specific Model 207
that is being configured. The suffix’s actual
alpha and/or numeric characters relate to the
MAC address of the unit’s Ultimo integrated
circuit. The four Dante transmitter (Tx) audio
output channels have default names of Main,
Talkback, Line In L, and Line In R. The four
Dante receiver (Rx) audio input channels
have default names of Headphone Ch1,
Headphone Ch2, Headphone Ch3, and
Headphone Ch4. Using Dante Controller
the default device name and channel names
can be revised as appropriate for the specific
application.
Model 207 Configuration
The STcontroller software application is used
to configure the way in which the Model 207
functions. No DIP switch settings or other
local actions are used to configure the unit.
This makes it imperative that STcontroller
be available for convenient use in a personal
computer that’s connected to the related LAN.
Installing STcontroller
STcontroller is available free of charge on
the Studio Technologies’ website (www.
studio-tech.com/stcontroller-application/)
and is compatible with personal computers
running Windows operating systems that
