DANTE
®
The term Dante® refers to networking technology developed by
the Australian firm, Audinate Pty. Ltd. It enables simple conec-
tion with other Dante-equipped devices, and gives AES67 AoIP
(Audio over Internet Protocol) compliance and interoperability
among a wide range of pro-AV products. It is generally also
compatible with proprietary systems from independent manu-
facturers of AoIP-enabled products.
IP Settings
Mode
The Dante-based AoIP utility of the SOFIA 568 is quite similar
to the product’s general networking function. Like the LAN
connection, 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
as-
signments.
AES67 and AoIP
Streaming
The Dante utility of the SOFIA 568 is able to AoIP-stream audio
at two sample rates. The “AES67 Standard” from the Audio En-
gineering Society specifies a 48kHz sample rate, but Dante en-
coding can send at a 44.1kHz rate as well, a rate with wide use
in radio and television broadcasting. 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 SOFIA 568. These are two
independent network connections, and like the rear-panel
LAN
Port
, the
AoIP Port
has a unique
Mac Address:
that is factory-
assigned and cannot be changed.
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.
16
/
24
/
32
refers to word length for
Dante AoIP flows; AES67 flows are locked to 24 bits regardless
of this setting.
Sample Rate (Dante & AES3):
is forced to
48kHz
for AES67
streaming, or can be reset to
44.1kHz
for other applications.
Transmit Flows
The AoIP utility can specify either one or two IP destinations
for the audio stream.
These are set in the
Dante Controller.

Flows area.
