Configurable Parameters

Rename Device

Allows the user to enter a new Dante 'friendly name' for the device. The text field displays the current
name.

To change the device name, enter a new name in the text field and press Enter.

See

Device Names and Channel Labels

for information about name conflicts and device name rules.

Sample Rate

Shows the current sample rate of the device, and allows the user to change the operating sample
rate of the Dante device. This may require the device to be rebooted to take effect. All sample rates
that the device supports are shown in the drop down box.

Shows the current pull-up/down setting for the device, and allows the user to change the pull-
up/down setting. The pull-up/down setting can be used to adjust the sample rate of the device to
synchronise audio with video that has undergone frame rate conversion. For example, to
synchronise Dante audio with video that has been converted from 24 fps to 25 fps, set the sample
rate pull-up/down for any relevant Dante audio devices to +4.1667%.

Note: Changing the sample rate pull-up/down for a device places that device in a dedicated clock
domain. Dante devices can only transmit audio to, or receive audio from other devices on the same
clock domain. See

Clock Status View

for more information.

Receive Latency

Shows the current receive latency setting and allows the user to change the operating receive latency for
the selected device. Select a value and click OK to apply the latency to all flows that the device is
receiving.

Note: The 0.15 msec setting is unavailable for devices that include an internal network switch.

Warning:

changing the latency value will cause disruption in the audio while the flows are re-

established at the new latency setting.

Reset Device

Allows you to remotely reboot the Dante interface, and also to reapply factory settings (Factory Reset).
Rebooting the Dante device may also require a reset of the host audio equipment containing the device.

Factory Reset wipes the following device configuration settings:

User-defined device name

User-defined channel labels

Clock configuration (clock master / external clock master setting)

Static IP addresses

Redundancy configuration

Sample rate setting (including pull-up/down)
