Dante Certification Level 2 (2nd Edition) Questions And Answers.

The Dante clock leader election is an automatic process. However, you can manually influence which device will win the election. What option would give a device the highest priority in the election 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. Suppose a Dante device that is chasing an external clock (like word clock or video sync). What setting must be checked in Dante Controller? - Answer-In Dante Controller, make sure the "External Clock" checkbox is marked for this device. How many audio channels can be contained in a Dante unicast flow? - Answer-4 A unicast audio or video subscription: - Answer-is the default behavior for Dante devices.Since the beginning of Dante, multicast flows could carry [ __ ] channels per flow. With newer firmware, some devices can allow up to [ __ ] channels per flow. - Answer-8, 64 What protocol is used to synchronize Dante devices across the network? - Answer-PTP (Precision Time Protocol) A unicast subscription is made between two Dante devices. The default latency settings of the transmitter and receiver are 0.25msec and 0.5msec, respectively. What is the resulting latency of this stream? - Answer-.5msec When a Dante preset is saved, where is the information kept? - Answer-Dante Controller writes a text file (XML format) to the computer. This file can be shared to other users or archived for recall later. When the preset is recalled, Dante Controller systematically restores settings, one at a time. Which Dante software supports redundant connections? - Answer-Dante Controller If a Dante transmitter runs out of flows, what should you do to enable all subscriptions to be made? - Answer-Flip stream(s) to multicast so it only takes one flow for multiple destinations. If a Dante device is in redundant mode, can the ports use different configuration methods? For instance, can the primary port be set to a Static IP and the secondary follow Link Local? - Answer-Yes For Dante AV Ultra, up to [ _ ] video channel(s) and up to [ _ ] audio channel(s) can be transmitted or received. The chipset can [___________________ ]. - Answer-1, 8, choose, be configured as either an AV transmitter or AV receiver Suppose a Dante device has one channel and two transmit flows. Can it connect to three different receiving devices? - Answer-Yes. The channel must be sent as multicast. A multicast subscription is made between two Dante devices. The default latency settings of the transmitter and receiver are 0.25msec and 0.5msec, respectively. What is the resulting latency of this stream? - Answer-1.0 msecWhat advantages does unicast have over multicast communication? (Select three.) - Answer-Unicast is simpler to deliver, reducing the strain on the switch CPU. Unicast can achieve lower latency than multicast. Unicast can cross a router - multicast cannot. The redundant port allows for a second network connection in case the first fails. Which of the following describes the connection and set-up of redundant networks? - Answer-The primary and secondary operate full time in separate broadcast domains. If the connection fails on one network, it will continue to the other. As a simple rule of thumb, how much latency should be allowed per network switch hop? - Answer-0.1 msec (100 microseconds)
