Dante Controller Operation

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.

DMP 64 Plus Transmitters and Receivers
In the DMP 64 Plus, the line output and EXP output channels are Dante transmitters
because their audio output is transmitted onto the Dante network. Routing an analog
output to the Dante network allows the signal to be output on both analog and Dante
simultaneously, the same is true for the EXP outputs.
The DMP 64 Plus EXP input channels are Dante receivers because they receive digital audio
signal from the Dante network that can then be routed and mixed into the
DMP 64 Plus mix matrix.

Dante Routing Operation

Dante Controller is used for all network signal routing of transmitters and receivers for
Dante-enabled devices. The DMP 64 Plus transmitters and receivers are available in Dante
Controller for routing to other Dante devices.

Routing Devices

After the DMP 64 Plus is configured, the channels can be routed to the other Dante devices
on the audio network. Channels transmitted to the network or received from the network are
routed using the Dante Controller Routing tab on the Network View page (see
on page 27). 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 connection intersection, indicating the status of
both the transmitter and receiver channels and the connections (subscriptions):
Icon Description
See the Dante Controller User Guide, available at www.audinate.com, for additional
information.
Transmitters output digital audio from the device onto the audio network.
Receivers take in digital audio from the audio network into the device.
To make a receiver-to-transmitter connection, click once on an intersection.
To remove a connection, click the icon at the intersection.
Indicates an active subscription.
Indicates subscription is in progress.
Indicates a pending subscription.
Indicates a broken subscription.
Indicates the transmitting device has been removed from the network or is
switched off.
