Dante Controller Operation

Dante Controller is used for all network signal routing of Transmitters and Receivers for
Dante-enabled devices. The analog output and mirrored S/PDIF channels of the AXI 02 AT
are shown in Dante Controller as receivers, and are available in Dante Controller for routing
with other Dante devices.

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.
AXI Transmitters and Receivers
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.
Signal received by the analog outputs from the network is also mirrored to the S/PDIF
output.

Routing Device Channels

In order for the AXI to receive audio from the network, audio subscriptions must be
established between the AXI and other Dante devices on the audio network. Audio
subscriptions are managed using the Dante Controller
Routing
top of the screen, and the receivers, listed vertically down the left side, form a matrix whose
intersections are the connection points between the transmitters and receivers.

To make the receiver-to-transmitter subscription (connection), click once on an
intersection. Once a subscription has been made, the corresponding subscription icon
will appear.
NOTE: AXI 02 AT supports up to two receive flows (unicast or multicast). Refer to
the Dante Controller User Guide for more information on flows.
To remove a subscription, click on the icon at the intersection.
