Dante Controller Operation

Dante Transmitters and Receivers

A Dante network is comprised of transmitters that output digital audio onto the Dante network and receivers that
receive digital audio input from the Dante network.
•
Transmitters output digital audio from the device onto the audio network.
•
Receivers take in digital audio from the audio network into the device.
DMP 128 Plus AT Transmitters and Receivers
In the DMP 128 Plus AT, the line output and EXP output channels are Dante transmitters because their audio
output is transmitted onto the Dante network. Routing an analog output to the Dante network allows the signal to
be output on both analog and Dante simultaneously, the same is true for the EXP outputs.
The DMP 128 Plus AT EXP input channels are Dante receivers because they receive digital audio signal from the
Dante network that can then be routed and mixed into the
DMP 128 Plus AT mix matrix.

Dante Routing Operation

Dante Controller is used for all network signal routing of transmitters and receivers for Dante-enabled devices.
The DMP 128 Plus AT transmitters and receivers are available in Dante Controller for routing to other Dante
devices.

Routing Devices

After the DMP 128 Plus AT is configured, the channels can be routed to the other Dante devices on the audio
network. Channels transmitted to the network or received from the network are routed using the Dante Controller
Routing tab on the Network View page (see
the top of the screen, and the receivers, listed vertically down the left side, form a matrix whose intersections are
the connection points between the receivers and transmitters.
•
To make a receiver-to-transmitter connection, click once on an intersection.
•
To remove a connection, click the icon at the intersection.
One of the following icons appears at each connection intersection, indicating the status of both the transmitter
and receiver channels and the connections (subscriptions):
Icon Description
Indicates an active subscription.
Indicates subscription is in progress.
Indicates a pending subscription.
Indicates a broken subscription.
Indicates the transmitting device has been removed from the network or is
switched off.
