Notes about Dante
Dante is a transmission protocol developed by Audinate.
Using networks based on gigabit Ethernet standards, it enables
multichannel (512 IN/512 OUT) transmission and high precision,
for example.
Check the Audinate website for details about Dante.
https://www.audinate.com/
Connecting to a Dante network
In order to set up and use this card, you must also set up the
Ethernet network that it is connected to, a computer that runs
Dante Controller and other devices that support Dante.
LAN cables used for connections
Use STP cables that are category 5e or higher.
Both crossover and straight cables can be used.
ATTENTION
This unit is not compatible with 100Mbps Ethernet switching
hubs. Always use switching hubs that support Gigabit
Ethernet.
NOTE
iWhen the Dante Network Addressing setting is AUTO (DHCP),
set the computer to set the IP address automatically.
iWhen the Dante Network Addressing setting is STATIC, set
the computer to match the Dante and network address.
Switched (daisy chain) connection
Dante devices can be daisy-chained when there are few
connected devices and when not using a switching hub.
Connect them as shown below.
Switched (daisy chain) connection example
SB-16D SB-16D
Mixer
NOTE
iWhen using a switched (daisy chain) connection, connect to
either the PRIMARY or SECONDARY connector.
iIf the number of connected devices increases, raising the
latency setting will be necessary.
Redundant connection
For recording situations where retakes are not possible,
including live performances, a connection set up like the
following uses two completely independent primary and
secondary networks.

NOTE
Settings for switched (daisy chain) and redundant
connections do not change automatically. Change the
settings on the Dante Controller Network Cong screen.
ATTENTION
The primary and secondary networks can never be
connected to each other by the same LAN (VLAN).
