6. Operation:
Dante Network
All Dante enabled devices in a system are connected to form a Dante network. A typical Dante Network is shown below.
Device Configuration / Audio Routing Software
Xilica’s R22 and R44 Dante interface devices might be used in conjunction with our own Neutrino-N and Uno-N series of
Dante enabled processors or utilized as standalone interface devices in conjunction with other Dante enabled product
brands (for R22 & R44 standalone use skip to #8 on page 8). In both cases the user needs to use the
Dante Controller
software from manufacturer Audinate to complete the configuration, audio routing, and management of Dante devices.
Dante Controller Software
The USB drive included with each R22 & R44 Dante interface model includes the Dante Controller software, and a copy
of this Quick Start Guide. Or download the
Dante Controller software from “Dante by Audinate” at www.audinate.com.
7. Using the Rio R22 & R44 Interfaces (and other brands) w our Dante Enabled Processors
See Neutrino and Uno processor Quick Start Guides, Help Files, and Video Tutorials for detailed processor software and
hardware operation and configuration.
Neutrino-N and Uno-N Series DSP users use our software to configure our processors (and control devices).
When users need to add Rio Series R22 and R44 Dante interface devices into their system design they will follow two
procedures
–
(a)
Configure Xilica Dante enabled DSP with our processor software and
(b)
Use the Dante Controller
software to complete the configuration and audio routing for the connected Rio R22 & R44 Dante interface devices. Same
procedures apply when connecting other Dante enabled product brands to our Dante enabled processors.
(7-a) Configure Xilica DSP in Preparation of Connecting R22 & R44 Dante Interface Devices
In conjunction with our Neutrino-N or Uno-N processors configuration and in preparation for adding Rio R22 & R44
Dante interface devices into the design, users will add and connect Dante
Virtual Transmitter
or
Receiver
modules
to the processor module in our software plus configure and wire the processors DSP modules and I/O to
accommodate external Dante inputs or outputs from and to Rio R22 & R44 interface devices. The same applies when
connecting other Dante enabled product brands to Xilica Dante enabled processors.
Dante Virtual Transmitters and Receivers
Our Dante Virtual Transmitter & Receiver modules are inserted into our software configuration in order to make sure
that all externally connected Dante devices
– be it our R22 and R44 interfaces or any other connected Dante enabled
product brands
– stay connected to our Dante processor and continue to recognize and rediscover each other when
they are powered down and back up again.
