4 – Mixer configuration and settings
Changing sampling frequencies and bit
depths with Dante Controller
Double-click a device name on the Network View screen to open
the Device View screen.
On this screen, you can set and monitor conditions related to
devices on the Dante network.
Click the Device Config tab to open the page where you can
change the sampling frequency, bit rate and other settings of
the device selected in
1
shown in the illustration below.
1
Device name
This is the name of the device that can have its settings
changed in the current Device View.
2
Change device name
Edit the device name.
3
Sampling frequency
Set the sampling frequency.
NOTE
This can also be set on the unit.
4
Bit depth
Set the bit depth.
5
Latency setting
Set the latency.
Use the following guidelines to change the latency setting.
Selectable latency
value
Connected network setup
guideline
250usec
The transmission route from the
transmitting device to the receiving
device passes through 1 gigabit
switching hub.
500usec
The transmission route from the
transmitting device to the receiving
device passes through 5 gigabit
switching hub.
1msec
The transmission route from the
transmitting device to the receiving
device passes through 10 gigabit
switching hub.
2msec
The transmission speed of the
transmitting device is 100 Mbps.
5msec
Use this maximum selectable latency
value when creating a large-scale
network.
ATTENTION
i
This unit is not compatible with 100Mbps Ethernet switching
hubs. Always use switching hubs that are compatible with
Gigabit Ethernet.
i
Changing the name of a device will clear audio routing
settings. For this reason, we recommend changing device
names to names that are easy to identify before setting audio
routings.
i
Depending on network connection conditions, setting
the latency to a value higher than the guideline might be
necessary.
NOTE
i
This can also be set on the unit.
i
When using a switched (daisy chain) connection, which does
not use a switching hub, set the latency according to the
number of Dante devices that signals pass-through as shown
below.

NOTE
The Dante module in this unit and IF-DA64 Dante cards (sold
separately) have built-in switching hubs.
For this reason, when counting Dante devices, count this unit
and IF-DA64 cards as two devices each.
