But if your ISP issues a
dynamic
IP, which is often the case, this
mandates ‘Dynamic DNS’ operation, using the services of an IP-
forwarding provider. This is an operation you should entrust
to your IT department; explanations and instructions are avail-
able from multiple Web resources.
DANTE
®
AND AoIP STREAMING
The term Dante® refers to networking technology developed by
the Australian firm, Audinate Pty. Ltd. It enables simple con-
nection with other Dante-equipped devices, and gives AES67
AoIP (Audio over Internet Protocol) compliance and interopera-
bility among a wide range of pro-AV products. It is generally
also compatible with proprietary systems from independent
manufacturers of AoIP-enabled products.
IP Settings
Mode
The Dante-based AoIP utility of the 552 is quite similar to the
product’s general networking function. Like the LAN connec-
tion, the independent AoIP connection may accept IP address
assignments in either a
DHCP
or
Static IP
assignment
Mode:
.
Static IP
operation requires manual entries into the four fields
that are grayed-out when your router makes
DHCP
assign-
ments.
AES67 Enable
The Dante utility is able to AoIP-stream audio at two sample
rates; this setting is discussed shortly. The AES67 Standard
specifies a 48kHz sample rate, but 44.1kHz is a rate with wide
use in radio and television broadcasting and is the default rate
for the 552. With
AES67 Enable:
set to
Enabled
, streaming is
forced to a 48kHz sample rate.
The AoIP
MAC Address
The
MAC address:
for AoIP streaming is not the same as the one
for general Web interactivity of the 552; these are two inde-
pendent network connections. Like the rear-panel
LAN PORT
,
the
AoIP PORT
has a unique
Mac Address:
that is factory-
assigned and cannot be changed.
Link Speed
Link Speed:
this is a readout showing connection status and the
expected networking rate for the AoIP connection.
Audio Format
Encoding:
refers to the word length for the PCM-encoded digital
audio to be sent as AoIP.
PCM 16
,
PCM
24
and
PCM
32
refer to
word length for Dante AoIP flows; AES67 flows are locked to
PCM 24
regardless of this setting.
Sample Rate:
is forced to
48kHz
for AES67 streaming, but
44.1kHz
is the 552 default rate unless
AES Enable:
has been set to
Enable
.
Transmit Flows
The AoIP utility can specify multiple destinations for the audio
stream. These are set in the Dante Controller.
Flows
are indi-
vidual audio channels, such as FM left, FM right, HD1 left, HD1
right, etc. Thus there are ten Flows for the five, simultaneous-
ly-available program channel outputs. Any flow or combination
