Even if MAS Pro is detected as a receiver/transmitter in Dante controller, only the
transmitter part is really available. MAS Pro Dante inputs should not be routed.
Clock Source Configuration
All Dante-enabled devices use the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) across the network to
synchronize their local clocks to a master clock, providing sample-accurate time alignment
throughout the network.
One Dante device will be elected as the PTP Master Clock for the network; all other Dante devices
act as a PTP Slave Clocks to the elected master clock. Although many Dante devices may be
capable of becoming PTP Master Clock, only one device will win the election. Devices with clock
inputs (e.g. word clock or AES3) will be preferred in the election process. A gigabit connected
device is preferred over a device connected via 100Mbps. A tie-breaker rule of the lowest MAC
address is used if several equivalent candidate master clocks are available. The election process
may be overridden by manually setting ‘PTP Preferred’ master on a device.
