CDD‐LIVE
5. Dante Control with Star Configuration
With this system the audio is again derived from a Dante Source and routed to an Ethernet router as with example 3. The control
PC is connected to the same router and runs Dante Controller to route the digital signal from the source to the CDD‐Live cabinets
as required over the Ethernet network. In this case however in similar fashion to example 4 the Ethernet connection to each
CDD‐Live speaker is made individually to a separate port on the Ethernet router (note that the router must support DHCP).
As with example 4 this wiring configuration may be preferred particularly for installed systems. It has the advantage over a daisy
chained system in that should power fail to a single cabinet it will not have any effect on the remaining CDD‐Live speakers in the
system.
Be aware that the preset LEDs on the back of each CDD‐Live cabinet will be off due to the Vu‐Net connection, you should however
see the Ethernet LEDs illuminated, the green will show a good network connection and the yellow LED will flash to show
communication speed.
