systems. The Model 207 uses the Ultimo
4-input/4-output integrated circuit to imple-
ment the Dante functionality. The Model 207
is compatible with the Dante Domain Manag-
er (DDM) software application. It can also be
configured for AES67 operation. This requires
a setting to be enabled within the Device Info
section of the Dante Controller application.
The four Dante transmitter (output) channels
associated with the Model 207’s Dante inter-
face must be assigned to the desired receiver
channels on associated equipment. This will
route the Model 207’s four output audio chan-
nels to the device (or devices) that will be
“listening” to them. Within Dante Controller a
“subscription” is the term used for routing a
transmitter flow (a group of output channels)
to a receiver flow (a group of input channels).
The number of transmitter flows associated
with an Ultimo integrated circuit and, as such
the Model 207, is limited to two. These can
either be unicast, multicast, or a combination
of the two. (Note that in the AES67 mode the
four transmitter (output) channels will func-
tion in multicast; unicast is not supported.) If
the Model 207’s transmitter channels need to
be routed to more than two flows it’s possible
that an intermediary device with enhanced
flow capability, such as the Studio Technolo-
gies’ Model 5422A Dante Intercom Audio
Engine, can be used to “repeat” the signals.
(Use the Model 5422A’s pass-thru group con-
figuration mode to provide this resource.)
The desired audio sources need to be routed
to the receiver (input) channels associated
with the Model 207’s Dante audio inputs.
The unit provides four audio input channels
although the exact number utilized will
depend on the specific application. Follow-
ing the unit’s headphone source and routing
configuration selections these audio signals
will be sent to the Model 207’s 2-channel
headphone output.
The Model 207 supports audio sample rates
of 44.1 and 48 kHz with no pull-up/pull-down
values available. In most cases it’s anticipated
that the default rate of 48 KHz will be appro-
priate. While technically the Model 207 can
serve as a clock master for a Dante network
(as can all Dante-enabled devices) in virtually
all cases the unit will be configured to receive
“sync” from another device.
The Model 207 has a default Dante device
name of
ST-M207-
along with a unique suffix.
The suffix identifies the specific Model 207
that is being configured. The suffix’s actual
alpha and/or numeric characters relate to the
MAC address of the unit’s Ultimo integrated
circuit. The four Dante transmitter (output)
audio channels have default names of
Main
,
Talkback
,
Line In L
, and
Line In R
. The
four Dante receiver (input) audio channels
have default names of
Headphone Ch1
,
Headphone Ch2
,
Headphone Ch3
, and
Headphone Ch4
. Using Dante Controller
the default device name and channel names
can be revised as appropriate for the specific
application.
Model 207 Configuration
The STcontroller software application is used
to configure the way in which the Model 207
functions. No DIP switch settings or other
local actions are used to configure the unit.
This makes it imperative that STcontroller
be available for convenient use in a personal
computer that’s connected to the related LAN.
Installing STcontroller
STcontroller is available free of charge on
the Studio Technologies’ website. If required,
download and install STcontroller onto a
designated personal computer. This personal
computer must be on the same local area
network (LAN) and subnet as the Model 207
unit or units that are to be configured. Immedi-
ately after starting STcontroller the application
