Overview
DMP 128 Plus AT devices (DMP 128 Plus AT, C AT and C V AT) use Dante technology by Audinate
high performance digital audio networking over standard TCP/IP networks. The Dante Controller software
application is used to route audio on the network. Dante allows audio channels to be transported across a
switched Ethernet data network while meeting the quality requirements of professional audio.
Up to 24 channels can be transmitted from the DMP 128 Plus AT to the Dante network and up to 48 channels can
be received by the DMP 128 Plus AT from the Dante network.AT inputs 33 through 48 can be used to facilitate
EXP bus communication (see the DSP Configuration Help File for more details).
Audio signals are converted by DMP 128 Plus AT devices, processed and routed to the AT bus, and transmitted
onto the Dante network. Audinate recommends the Dante audio network be kept separate from other networks.
However, the audio network can be shared with control traffic or unrelated data traffic. Audio channels can be
unicast or multicast to make the best use of available bandwidth.
