process? - Answer: Preferred Leader checked.
Suppose a Dante device has one channel and two transmit flows. Can it connect to three different
receiving devices? - Answer: Yes. Minimum recommended latency could be as low as 0.5 msec.
Approximately how much bandwidth does a unicast audio flow use? (4-ch, 24-bit, 48kHz, 1msec latency)
- Answer: 6Mbps
Dante Controller can apply information in a Dante preset to a device of a different model. For instance, if
a 4-channel 70V amplifier is replaced with an 8-channel model, it could save the IP settings, device
name, as well as channel labels and subscriptions for the first four channels. - Answer: True
When recalling a Dante Preset, you can choose to recall everything or limit the recall to specific features
and/or specific devices. - Answer: True
What happens if multiple devices have the Preferred Leader checkbox marked? - Answer: Both will be
elevated in the clock election process, only one of those two will be come the clock leader.
When using redundant Dante networks, how do we configure the switches? - Answer: The primary and
secondary networks must remain in separate broadcast domains (could be a VLAN) and each network
must use separate subnets.
