Dante Controller Operation

Dante Controller is used for all network signal routing of transmitters and receivers for
Dante-enabled devices. The input and output channels of the AXI 22 AT and AXI 44 AT
are shown in Dante Controller as transmitters and 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
AXI mic/line inputs are Dante transmitters because the analog audio input is converted into
digital audio and transmitted onto the Dante network.
AXI analog outputs are Dante receivers because they receive digital audio from the Dante
network and output that signal as analog audio via the analog outputs.

Routing Device Channels

After the AXI is configured via the front panel controls or in DSP Configurator, the
channels must be routed to or from the other Dante devices on the audio network.
Channels transmitted to the network or received from the network are routed using the
Dante Controller Network View page and the Routing tab (see
on the next page). The transmitters, listed horizontally along the top of the screen, and
the receivers, listed vertically down the left side, form a matrix whose intersections are the
connection points between the receivers and transmitters.

One of the following icons appears at each subscription intersection, indicating the status of
both the transmitter and receiver channels and the subscription:

See the Dante Controller User Guide, available at the
information.
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 22 AT and AXI 44 AT support up to two transmit flows (unicast or
multicast) and 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.
Description

Indicates a broken subscription.
Indicates the transmitting device has been removed from the network or is
switched off.
