The main window of the Dante Controller software is essentially an X/Y grid that allows a channel from
one Dante device to be routed to another. Devices that transmit are shown horizontally across the top of
the grid; receiving devices are in the vertical column along the side. Open or close any device’s Transmit or
Receive panel by clicking the plus or minus sign (+/-) next to its name.
Use the mouse to activate or deactivate a channel by clicking in a cell. A green check mark symbol
indicates a valid connection. Once channels are configured for your application, the Dante Controller
software application can be closed, and the computer can be removed from the network if desired.
Channel transmit/receive settings are stored within each Dante device until they are changed using the
Dante Controller software. The Dante Controller software allows you to save a network-wide configuration
preset which allows routings to be backed up, changed and recalled as needed.

: Each Dante device in a network is unique, and the channel routings created using Dante
Controller are saved within the Dante devices themselves. These routings will need to be
recreated if any Dante device is replaced with an identical device because the original unit
was removed for maintenance or repair.
Devices with built-in Dante channel routing capabilities, such as Yamaha CL and QL Series digital consoles,
can assign channels to Dante devices from within the console’s user interface and may not require the
Dante Controller application.
Clock Status
The Network View of Dante Controller contains a Clock Status tab that displays network clock source and
sync settings.
A Dante network always has one device designated as the Master Clock source.
You have the option of assigning one device in your Dante network to be the Preferred Master; this device
will be the source of the network clock as long as the device is powered on and connected to the other
devices in the network. Click the
