Page 18: Latency Tab
The Rx Utilization includes not only network traffic destined for the Dante device, but any other multicast or broadcast traffic received at this network interface. Note: As a rule of thumb neither the Rx nor the Tx utilization should exceed about 85% of the link speed to guarantee good clock synchronization performance (links are full duplex). -
Page 19: Device Config Tab
Provides Latency information from the TX to the RX. It is measuring for the delay value due to network travel. The purpose of this tab is to help optimize resources and finding the best setting for your application in terms of latency. Data is transmitted throughout the network via packets, when not all packets arrive on time or at all, it can cause undesired results to the audio service. - Page 20 Device Config Tab with Bolin Dante AV decoder Configurable Parameters Rename Device Allows you to enter a new Dante 'friendly name' for the device. The text field displays the current name. To change the device name, enter a new name in the text field and press Enter. Sample Rate Shows the current sample rate of the device, and allows you to change the operating sample rate ■...
- Page 21 Clocking Unicast Delay Requests Delay requests are messages sent by clock followers to the clock leader to establish the time it takes for data to traverse the network between the devices. By default, delay requests are multicast messages, and in networks with lots of devices, they can add up. Enabling 'Unicast Delay Requests' forces clock follower devices to send delay requests to the clock leader using unicast instead, which reduces multicast traffic.

A reboot is required after clearing the configuration for the changes to take effect. Some devices will allow you to automatically reboot after clearing the configuration. If this option is not available, a manual reboot is required. Plugins Some devices may present additional 'plugin' tabs, defined by the device manufacturer, for configuration and display of additional device settings, such as video configuration and/or ancillary channel settings. - Page 23 The purpose of this tab is for the user to make certain convenient changes and obtain information from the Dante Controller regarding Bolin Dante AV devices. WARNING: Changing settings using the Video Config tab will cause the screen to be disconnected and fade to black while the change takes place.
