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 the Latency monitor in Dante Controller. How can a Dante device be configured to act as a plug-and-play replacement for another? - ✔✔By using identical names for both devices. A single network that carries audio, telephone, video, and data communication services at once is... - ✔✔A converged network. 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. What is Dante Virtual Soundcard? - ✔✔Software that turns computers into Dante-enabled workstations, connecting audio applications to a Dante network. 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. How many channels does Dante Virtual Soundcard support? - ✔✔Up to 64x64. Dante Virtual Soundcard [ ... ] act as the clock master for the network. - ✔✔cannot What is Dante Via? - ✔✔- Software that allows local audio I/O & applications on your computer to access the Dante network - Software that provides it's own Dante system clock A computer running Dante Via [ ... ] be the Clock Master for a Dante network. - ✔✔can [ ... ] Dante devices have a secondary network capability. - ✔✔Some Dante Controller [ ... ] a setting that allows an external clock to synchronize a Dante network. - ✔✔contains [Show More]
