DANTE LEVEL 1 PRACTICE EXAM UPDATED STUDY
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
✔✔Dante Via and Dante Virtual Soundcard [_______________] be used at the same
time on the same computer. - ✔✔cannot
✔✔How do switch hops affect Dante latency - ✔✔More switch hops -> greater minimum
latency. Settings above minimum are unaffected
✔✔When would you select the "Enable Sync to External" box for devices on the DC
Clock Status tab - ✔✔When a device is either a) connected to an external word clock,
or b) when using the internal clock of a device to drive a Dante option card
✔✔How does Dante Virtual Soundcard work with DAWs - ✔✔By providing a standard
Core Audio, ASIO or WDM audio interface that behaves like a regular soundcard.
✔✔Select all that apply: What is Dante Via - ✔✔1.Software that allows local audio I/O &
applications on your computer to access the Dante network
2.Software that provides it's own Dante system clock.
✔✔How does Dante Controller inform you that multicast is recommended - ✔✔With a
"Fan out' warning.
✔✔A unicast network connection is - ✔✔1. Communication that is only between specific
devices on a network
2. Default Dante behavior
✔✔Selecting a single Dante device to be the Preferred Master [______________] force
it to win the clock master election - ✔✔Will
✔✔How many channels does Dante Virtual Soundcard support - ✔✔Up to 64x64
✔✔Dante Multicast Flows are manually created on an as needed basis - ✔✔True
✔✔Dante [________________] use unicast as the default mode of transmission. -
✔✔does
✔✔[_____________________] Dante devices have a secondary network capability. -
✔✔Some
✔✔You [_______________] have multiple Preferred Masters in a Dante network. -
✔✔Can
, ✔✔When should IGMP snooping be considered for use on a Dante network? - ✔✔In
systems where some devices are intolerant of large amounts of multicast traffic.
✔✔Can the Secondary (redundant) port on a Dante device be connected to the Primary
network to increase channel count? - ✔✔No. This will cause the network to fail.
✔✔What is Dante Virtual Soundcard? - ✔✔Software that turns computers into Dante-
enabled workstations, connecting audio applications to a Dante network.
✔✔A computer running Dante Via [_____________] be the Clock Master for a Dante
network. - ✔✔can
✔✔A unicast Dante Flow can contain up to [____] different Tx channels of audio from
the same device. - ✔✔4
✔✔How does one setup Dante redundancy - ✔✔Connect a second set of cables and
switches to create a network that uses only the Secondary port of Dante devices
✔✔Dante Controller [______________________________] a setting that allows an
external clock to synchronize a Dante network. - ✔✔contains
✔✔Devices on a Dante network [____________] use different latency settings at the
same time. - ✔✔can
✔✔A single network that carries audio, telephone, video, and data communication
services at once is - ✔✔A converged network
✔✔Can a Dante network with 5 switch hops support latency of 1ms or less - ✔✔Yes.
Minimum recommended latency will be 0.5ms
✔✔When you know you will be configuring switches with features like IGMP Snooping,
there is no hesitation in combining managed switches from different manufacturers in
your design. - ✔✔False
✔✔OSI model is a __________. - ✔✔Conceptual model
✔✔If 5 unicast channels are sent between two devices, how much bandwidth, and how
many flows are being used? (sample rate 48KHz/24-bit) - ✔✔12 mbps, and 2 flows
✔✔ARP tables are held in nodes (e.g. - Dante devices, laptops, and other network
endpoints). - ✔✔True
