Dante Level 2: Dante Operations Test
Review
As a simple rule of thumb, how much latency should be allowed per network switch
hop? - ANS -0.1msec (100 microseconds)
Since the beginning of Dante, multicast flows could carry _ channels per flow. With new
firmware, multicast flows can carry up to _ channels per flow. - ANS -8; 64
When a Dante preset is saved, where is the information kept? - ANS -Dante Controller
writes a text file (XML format) to the computer. This file can be shared to other users or
arched for recall later. When the preset is recalled, Dante Controller systematically
restores all settings, one at a time.
What advantages does unicast have over multicast communication? - ANS -Unicast is
simpler to deliver, reducing the strain of the switch; Unicast can achieve lower latency
than multicast; Unicast can cross a router. Multicast cannot.
Approximately how much bandwidth does a unicast audio flow use? - ANS -6Mbps
A unicast subscription is made between two Dante devices. The latency value of the
transmitter and receiver are .25msec and .5msec, respectively. What is the resulting
latency of this stream? - ANS -.5 msec
What protocol does Dante use for clocking? - ANS -PTP
A multicast subscription is made between two Dante devices. The latency value of the
transmitter and receiver are .25msec and .5msec, respectively. What is the resulting
latency of this stream? - ANS -1.0 msec
Suppose a Dante device is chasing an external clock. What setting must be checked in
Dante Controller? - ANS -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? - ANS -4
What is the golden rule about Dante redundant networks? - ANS -Do not link the
primary and secondary networks - they must remain in separate broadcast domains.
