Dante Controller v3.5.0 Release Notes
Version 1.2
1.4. New Features since v3.4.2
 Latency Monitoring for supported devices (currently Brooklyn II, PCIe and MY16 devices are supported – Latency
Monitoring will be rolled out to more devices over time). Latency Monitoring allows you to view a real-time histogram of
latency performance for a device’s audio subscriptions, enabling low-level latency configuration on a per-device basis.
Latency monitoring can be used to determine if device latency settings are optimum and/or if there are issues with
network switch bandwidth or configuration.
 Clock Status Monitoring – providing real-time statistics about a device’s clock synchronization performance, enabling
the quick and easy resolution of existing and potential clocking issues, before they impact your event or session
 Connection to secondary networks – providing full visibility and control over your redundant network, even if a
connectivity issue occurs on the primary network
 A new Network Status tab, displaying comprehensive network data for all devices across both primary and secondary
networks
 Completely new presets system – enabling the quick and easy backup and reuse of network configurations
 Enhanced Events tab – providing clearer visibility of network and device events
 The new Status Bar displays the status of connectivity to the primary and secondary networks, multicast bandwidth
(previously shown in the toolbar), and notification icons for the event log and the clock status monitor
 Channel grouping – allowing improved control over channel routing for devices with high channel counts
 The Clock Status tab has been enhanced
 The Device Status tab is now called Device Info
 New look and feel
 Various performance improvements
 Windows 8.1 support
 Dante Controller is no longer supported on Windows XP
