The Dante Controller must now be con gured for “Slave to
External Word Clock” in this application. See the M32
line, which is con gured Master in this example:
Renaming Dante Devices “Device View”
By default, the DN32-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 con gure 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-con gured, for running audio between Dante devices over
the network.
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
tra c 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.
