Dante Clock Settings
Dante hardware devices, including Dante-MY16-AUD2 cards, have two optional clock settings that can be
selected.
Set ‘Enable Sync To External’ to use an external word clock (such as the Internal clock of host Yamaha
equipment) to tune the on-board VCXO. When this attribute is set, the Dante device will become PTP
Master Clock unless another Dante hardware device has ‘Preferred Master’ set.
Dante Clocking and Redundancy
If both primary and secondary Dante networks have been connected, each network will have its own PTP
Master Clock.
Clock Status Monitoring
You can use Dante Controller to monitor the synchronization performance of Dante device clocks in real
time. See the
for more information.
Pull-up Clock Domains
Devices configured to use sample rate pull-up/down synchronize to a dedicated clock domain. See the
for more information.
How to Configure Dante Clocking
Automatically
The easiest way to configure clocking on your Dante network is to let the Dante network provide the clock
for all the audio equipment, and to allow the Dante devices to automatically elect a PTP Clock Master.
All Dante devices including Dante-MY16-AUD2 cards should be in their default state (’Preferred Master’
and ‘Enable Sync to External’ UN-checked), and host equipment configured to derive its word clock from
the Dante device or a Dante-MY16-AUD2 card.
