About Dante

This product features Dante technology as a protocol to
transmit audio signals. Dante is a network protocol
developed by Audinate. It is designed to deliver
multi-channel audio signals at various sampling and bit
rates, as well as device control signals over a Giga-bit
Ethernet (GbE) network. Dante also offers the following
benefits:
• It transmits up to 512 in/512 out, for a total 1024
channels (in theory) of audio over a GbE network.
(The Ri8-D features 8 in with a 24/32-bit resolution.
The Ro8-D features 8 out with a 24/32-bit resolution.)
• Dante-enabled devices will automatically configure their
network interfaces and find each other on the network.
You can label Dante devices and their audio channels
with names that make sense to you.
• Dante uses high accuracy network synchronization
standards to achieve sample-accurate playback with
extremely low latency and jitter. Four types of latency are
available on the Ri8-D/Ro8-D: 0.25 msec, 0.5 msec,
1.0 msec, and 5.0 msec.
• Dante supports redundant connections via primary and
secondary networks to defend against unforeseen
difficulties.
• Connecting a computer to Dante network over Ethernet
enables you to directly input or output audio signals
without using any audio interface devices.
By taking advantages of these benefits, you can skip any
complicated procedures to automate connections and
setups of Dante-enabled devices, remotely control I/O
racks or amplifiers from a mixing console, or make
multi-track recordings to a DAW, such as Nuendo, installed
on a computer in the network.
