Optional: Install OMNEO Control
The OMNEO Control software enables users to configure audio devices, and to route audio all
over the network. With a single mouse click, users can create and remove audio connections
between all OMNEO devices in a single- or multi-subnet network.
Dante Controller and OMNEO Control
As an alternative to Dante Controller, OMNEO Control could also be used to set up these
audio connection paths. But OMNEO Control creates dynamic audio connections that are not
automatically re‑established by the devices themselves after a reset or power down. OMNEO
Control can restore these connections instead, but only when the PC running OMNEO Control
remains connected. For that reason it is preferred to use Dante Controller to set up
connections to Dante or AES67 devices.
Although OMNEO Control and Dante Controller may be used simultaneously in the same
network, this is not recommended as it may lead to confusion. An audio connection made in
Dante Controller becomes also visible in OMNEO Control, where it shows up as a Dante
connection. OMNEO Control can remove Dante connections and replace them for OMNEO
connections. But to set them back to Dante connections, Dante Controller must be used.

Key features of OMNEO Control

–
OMNEO Control supports OMNEO and Dante devices. OMNEO couples Audinate's Dante
Audio Transport Protocol with OCA, a proven system control protocol for unprecedented
reliability and dependability in digital audio. OCA was developed by the OCA Alliance and has
been standardized by the AES (Audio Engineering Society) as AES70.
Notice!
This notice states an important difference between OMNEO Control and Dante Controller and
persistence. Persistence implicates that connections are automatically restored after a power
failure. Unicast and multicast connections made with OMNEO Control are persistent only if
OMNEO Control is set in Lock mode. Unicast and multicast connections made with Dante
Controller are persistent, even after the Dante Controller application is closed.
