6. About Dante Firmware
6.1. What is Dante Firmware?
All Dante hardware modules run Audinate firmware loaded onto the module.
From time to time Audinate makes firmware updates available on our website for different Dante modules.
These updates may:
▪ Add new features
▪ Improve performance
▪ Provide bug fixes
6.2. What does a Firmware Update file look like?
A firmware update file for a Dante module is a binary file containing a new firmware image for the module.
The filename is sometimes formatted as:
<deviceName>-<version>_<component>-<version>.dnt
For example, a version 4.0.9.1 firmware update file for Brooklyn II modules might be called:
bklyn2-4.0.9.1_fpga-4.0.2.7_vcxo-4.0.2.7.dnt
6.3. When should I update my Dante Firmware?
It is good practice to update your firmware when a new release becomes available to take advantage of the
latest improvements and bug fixes.
