 About Dante Controller
Dante Controller is a software application that allows configuration and audio routing of
Dante networks. Use this application if you plan to connect to Dante devices other than
Yamaha digital mixers compatible to integration with DZR-D and DXS-XLF-D, or apply
more advanced settings.
Please download the latest version of the Dante Controller application from the website
listed below.

To run Dante Controller, the computer must feature a GbE (Giga-bit Ethernet)-compatible
connector.
In Dante Controller, you can apply the following main settings.
• I/O patch settings on the Routing tab in Network View
• Clock master settings on the Clock Status tab in Network View
• Sampling rate settings on the Device Config tab in Device View
It is important to setup a well-balanced system that leverages the advantages offered by both daisy
chain and star network connections.
Configuration with Dante Models
Limit the number of Dante devices to within 10 units, including switches, in a single
daisy chain. If the number of Dante devices exceeds 10 units, communication
latency within the network will increase and the audio might drop out. To prevent
this, set a higher Dante Latency value (page 24, t LATENCY), or use an L2 switch
(that supports Giga-bit Ethernet) to create branches in the network.
