Overview
DMP 64 Plus AT devices (DMP 64 Plus C AT and C V AT) use Dante technology by
Audinate
®
to provide high performance digital audio networking over standard TCP/IP
networks. The Dante Controller software application is used to route audio on the network.
Dante allows audio channels to be transported across a switched Ethernet data network
while meeting the quality requirements of professional audio.
Up to 16 channels can be transmitted from the DMP 64 Plus AT to the Dante network and
up to 32 channels can be received by the DMP 64 Plus AT from the Dante network.
Audio signals are converted by DMP 64 Plus AT devices, processed and routed to the
AT bus, and transmitted onto the Dante network. Audinate recommends the Dante audio
network be kept separate from other networks. However, the audio network can be shared
with control traffic or unrelated data traffic. Audio channels can be unicast or multicast to
make the best use of available bandwidth.
