    Dante Device Setup The iVAM1-12G’s default Dante Device Name is “Wohler- …” followed by the last 6 digits of the Dante port MAC address, as shown in Figure B-2. This name can be changed by the Dante Controller to appear that way on the network, but that will not change the iVAM1-12G’s unit name appearing on GUI pages and iVAM1-12G...

  • Page 99: Dante Clock Selection

    Dante Clock Selection While the Brooklyn’s internal clock is highly accurate, the iVAM1-12G does not have provisions for external sync clocks, such as those that are GPS or media reference (video genlock or audio word clock) based. So it is generally not the best candidate to be the PTP Master Clock (commonly called the “grandfather clock”) for the...
