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.
•
Transmitters output digital audio from the device onto the audio network.
•
Receivers take in digital audio from the audio network into the device.
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

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.
•
To make a receiver-to-transmitter connection, click once on an intersection.
•
To remove a connection, click the icon at the intersection.
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
Indicates an active subscription.
Indicates subscription is in progress.
