ZyPerUHD60
Dante Operation
It is expected that the user is familiar with Dante and the use of Dante networks. It
is beyond the scope of this document to provide Dante training.
The Dante Transmitter found in the ZyPerUHD60 encoder/decoder will insert the
analog audio
or
HDMI audio
stream that it is receiving onto the Dante Network. Note that the
audio must be unencoded/unencrypted. Only raw PCM audio can be inserted onto the Dante
network. It is possible the AV video network and the Dante audio network are in fact the same
network. It is not possible to route Dante audio traffic from one VLAN onto another VLAN.
By default if only HDMI audio is available, this audio stream will be inserted onto the Dante
network. If Analog audio is available via the Analog audio input port; then this audio stream will
be inserted onto the Dante network instead of any available HDMI audio.
Network settings are the same as standard ZyPerUHD60 encoders/decoders.
Some switches may require additional settings to work with a Dante network. For example the
Netgear M4300 series requires settings detailed at the following location:

The user should consult the documentation for the switch provider being used.
In Dante Controller the device will appear as a Transmitter and Receiver with the name
ZVU60E-
YYYYYY
(Encoder units) or ZVU60D-
YYYYYY
(Decoder units)
YYYYYY
- Represents the final bytes of the ZyPerUHD60 MAC Address
Note that the device can be renamed in Dante Controller software.
A factory reset of the ZyPerUHD60 will restore the default Dante name.
Important Note:
ZyPerUHD60 Dante devices should never be made the Dante Clock Leader.
Please select another Dante device as the Clock Leader (Preferred Leader)
