Receiver and Transmitter Names
In addition to renaming a device, individual transmitter and receiver channels can be
renamed in Dante Controller. Rename transmitter and receiver channels to reflect the
location of the device or the purpose of the transmitter or receiver. Ensure transmitter and
receiver channels are renamed before making audio connections between devices. Refer to
Renaming a Receiver or Transmitter
on page 93 for renaming procedure.
