EXPANSION CARD X-DANTE
See the X32 PRODUCER line, which is configured for Clock Status
Master in the following example:
Note that the check boxes for 'Slave to External Word Clock' are
unchecked in this application.
Alternative Synchronization:
Use the internal X32 clock as master clock. In this case the
Setup/Config page should look like this:
Note that the status bar shows "L 44K1" and a green light for Local
(internal) clock of 44.1 kHz.
The second green light "C: Dante" indicates proper installation of
the X-DANTE card.
The Dante Controller must now be configured for "Slave to
External Word Clock" in this application. See the X32 PRODUCER
line, which is configured Master in this example:
Renaming Dante Devices "Device View"
By default, the X-DANTE card may show up as "BKLYN-II-06f732"
in the controller app. The last six digits represent a part of the
card's Ethernet MAC address. However, the controller's Device
View allows assigning a more descriptive name to the network
device, see example below.
7. Audinate Software Tools
Dante Controller
The Dante Controller is a software application provided by
Audinate which allows users to configure and route audio
around Dante networks. It is available for PCs running Windows
and Apple Macs running OSX 10.5. Dante Controller must be
installed on one or more PC/Mac computers on the Dante
network in order to change any signal routing or clocking in the
network. Dante Controller is not required, when everything is
pre-configured, for running audio between Dante devices over
the network.
Quick Start Guide
Dante Virtual Soundcard
The Dante Virtual Soundcard is a software application that turns
your PC or Mac into a Dante-enabled device, allowing Dante audio
traffic to be transmitted and received using the standard Ethernet
port. No additional hardware is required. On Windows, the Dante
Virtual Soundcard uses Steinberg's ASIO audio interface, and can
be used with any audio application that supports ASIO or WDM.
On Mac OSX, the Dante Virtual Soundcard uses the standard
Core Audio interface, and can be used by almost any standard
audio application.
