  • Page 28: Identifying A Physical Dante Device

    A physical network is required to share Dante audio channels among Dante-enabled devices like the AXI 02 AT. Other devices capable of sending and receiving audio over a Dante network must be on the same physical network in order to communicate via Dante (see figure 26 for an example of a physical Dante network).
  • Page 29: Dante Controller Operation

    The AXI 02 AT does not have any Dante Transmit channels. The AXI 02 AT analog outputs are listed as Dante receivers because they receive digital audio from the Dante network and output that signal as analog audio via the analog outputs.
