DANTE CERTIFICATION LEVEL 1
COMPREHENSIVE EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
◉ On a Dante Network, there must be a different clock leader
for each sample rate on the network. Answer: One clock
leader will provide synchronization to all Dante devices,
regardless of their individual sample rates or frame rates
◉ A 1Gbps network switch can manage more Dante channels
than a single 1Gbps link can? Answer: A nonblocking network
switch will be able to handle the total of all ports capacity at
all times.
◉ An audio subscription (connection) can be established
between two Dante interfaces operating at different bit depths.
Answer: Like most digital audio devices, Dante devices will
usually be able to add missing bits or truncate extraneous bits
to match the expected internal operation.
◉ A Dante audio subscription (connection) can be established
between two Dante interfaces operating at different audio
, sample rates. Answer: Each Dante interface can only operate
at one sample rate at a time.
◉ What audio sample rates are supported by Dante? Answer:
Dante supports most common sample rates from 44.1kHz to
192kHz.
◉ If we increase the sample rate of a device from 48kHz to
96kHz, what is the impact to the network? Answer: A 96kHz
subscription will require (roughly) twice as much bandwidth
as a 48kHz subscription.
◉ The bit depth of an audio system dictates: Answer: the
resolution of the audio signals amplitude. A greater bit depth
increases dynamic range.
◉ The sample rate of an audio system dictates: Answer: the
audii resolution in time. According to the Nyquist Theorem,
the sample rate must be at least twice the highest audio
frequency to be captured.
◉ Dante audio is sent: Answer: uncompressed, bit-perfect.
◉ Roughy how many channels of 24-bit,48kHz audio can be
carried on a 1Gbps connection? Answer: 512x512
