Dante-MY16-AUD2 Getting Started Guide- 4 -
Dante-MY16-AUD2 Overview
Sample-accurate timing with inaudibly low latency. Dante uses audio-independent, high- accuracy network
synchronization standards to ensure all Dante devices are synchronized at all times. Sample-accurate playback
with extremely low latency and jitter is achieved without limiting your audio sample rates and network layout
options.
True Ethernet and IP network compatibility. Dante networking runs over inexpensive off-the-shelf computer
networking hardware, and does not require dedicated network infrastructure. Ethernet switches transmit Dante
digital media streams alongside ordinary data traffic, so you can integrate professional media operations into
properly designed pre-existing networks.
Easy to set up and use. Our innovative configuration protocols make networking a true plug-and-play process
with automatic device discovery and system configuration. Simply connect your Dante-MY16-AUD2 to a network
and it will automatically configure its network interface before finding and being found by other Dante-enabled
devices on the network. Instead of “magic numbers”, you label Dante network devices and their audio channels
with names that make sense to you.
Using Dante Controller (a free application for PC or Mac), you can instantly see all Dante-enabled devices on
the network, edit channel and device labels as you like, and route audio with a single click. With Dante Virtual
Soundcard, your computer looks and acts like any other Dante-enabled device on the network. Just connect your
computer to a network switch to use digital audio processing, recording or playback software on the network. You
can also use Dante Via
™
to ‘Dante-enable’ all audio applications and devices installed on or connected to your
computer, and to route audio to and from a Dante network. See www.audinate.com for more information.
The Dante-MY16-AUD2 card can be configured to handle 16 input channels and 16 output channels at 44.1kHz
or 48kHz, or 8 input channels and 8 output channels at 88.2kHz or 96kHz, of 16, 24 or 32-bit uncompressed
digital audio data using Audinate’s Dante audio networking standard.
