Dante Software by Audinate

Audinate software provides additional function and control of the Dante digital audio network. Visit Audinate's website at
www.audinate.com for software installation instructions, additional digital audio networking capabilities and troubleshooting
help.

Dante Controller

Dante Controller (DC) is a free software program by Audinate that is used to configure and manage a network of Dante de-
vices. Use it to route channels between Dante-enabled devices and to monitor the status of the device, clock, and network.
For proper functionality with the SCM820, use Dante Controller version 3.4.0.0 or higher. Go to Audinate's website for down-
load and installation instructions.

Dante Virtual Soundcard

Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) software turns a computer into a Dante-enabled device, allowing digital audio traffic to be
transmitted and received using the standard Ethernet port.
On Windows, DVS can select Steinberg's ASIO audio interface or Windows Driver Model (WDM). On Mac OSX, the DVS uses
the standard Core Audio interface.

Application Examples and Advanced Mixer Settings

Creating a Link Group

If additional channels are needed, multiple mixers can link together to create a larger automatic mix. To form a link, Dante-en-
abled mixers are connected to a gigabit network and assigned to a link group. This enables up to 12 mixers (96 channels) to
contribute to the same mix from anywhere on the network.
Mixers in the same link group operate under shared IntelliMix settings. These settings are defined by the first mixer to join the
group. When mixers are added, their IntelliMix and network settings are reconfigured to match the group's settings. IntelliMix
settings can then be changed from any mixer, automatically updating the rest of the group.
Setting up a Link Group
Link Groups are created by using the auto link button on the mixer back panel. Once a mixer joins a group, its front panel Net-
work Audio and Automix Link LEDs will illuminate green. Up to 12 mixers can join a group at a time.
Ensure the Link Group setup meets the following requirements:
• Use SCM820 mixers with the Dante network card (SCM820-DAN or SCM820-DAN-DB25)
• Devices must be on the same subnet
• Use Gigabit (or higher) network switches to connect the devices. 100 Mb networks are not supported.
