NetPA AT Bus
NetPA AT uses Dante technology to provide high performance digital audio networking
over standard TCP/IP networks. Dante allows audio channels to be transported across
a switched Ethernet data network while meeting the quality requirements of professional
audio.
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.
The NetPA AT models are receivers (destination) for signals on a Dante network. Receivers
can be located anywhere on the Ethernet network and can be relocated without
reconfiguring the NetPA AT or the network.
Managing Network Traffic
Because Dante devices prefer to use multi-cast routing to distribute audio channels, it is
recommended that, if possible, the audio network be kept separate from the local business
network. For more information on strategies to manage audio network traffic in an integrated
system, refer to the Dante Controller manual (Multicast Transmit Flow Configuration) at the
Audinate website.
