Overview

DMP 128 Plus AT devices (DMP 128 Plus AT, C AT, and C V AT) use Dante technology
by Audinate to provide 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
DMP 128 Plus AT Device and an EXP-enabled non-AT Device
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.
