Dante Certification Level 2 Part A

Dante Certification Level 2 Part A What does Dante redundancy do? - Feature that allows glitch-free flow of audio through a Secondary network when the Primary network fails for any reason 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. 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 Can the Secondary (redundant) port be configured to daisy chain devices? - Yes, but only on certain Dante devices. Always check. 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 Dante [ ... ] use unicast as the default mode of transmission. - does A unicast network connection is: - - Communication that is only between specific devices on a network - Default Dante behavior A multicast network connection is: - - One to many - Useful for solving "Fan out" conditions A broadcast network connection is: - - One to everyone - Not used by Dante for audio - A common type of network traffic A unicast Dante Flow can contain up to [ ... ] different Tx channels of audio from the same device. - 4 How does Dante Controller inform you that multicast is recommended? - With a "Fan out' warning. Dante Multicast Flows are manually created on an as needed basis. - True Multicast Flows should be used when you... - Wish to connect a transmitter to multiple receiving devices, typically more than 3 You [ ] have multiple Preferred Masters in a Dante network. - can Selecting a single Dante device to be the Preferred Master [ ... ] force it to win the clock master election - will Dante Controller has primary and secondary network connection options. - True Devices on a Dante network [ ... ] use different latency settings at the same time. - can How is a Dante clock master selected? - By election. When should QoS be considered? - When using Dante on a network with significant amount of mixed (non-audio) traffic. 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. Can a Dante network with 5 switch hops support latency of 1ms or less? - Yes. Minimum recommended latency will be 0.5ms How can actual latency performance be seen? - Using
