If there is no problem with the subscription, the tooltip will display the Rx channel and device name, plus
the Tx channel and device name (for example, 'kick@Monitor-Console <- 01@Stagebox-2').
Other messages are displayed if the subscription is in any other state.
Some common messages are:
n
'Incorrect channel format: source and destination channels do not match'
The receiver and transmitter are set to different sample rates.
n
'Mismatched clock domains: The transmitter and receiver are not part of the same clock domain'
One of the devices is configured with sample rate pull-up/down that does not match the other device.
n
'Tx Scheduler failure'
This is typically because you are trying to use sub-millisecond latency over a 100 Mbps network link
(1 msec is the minimum supported latency over 100 Mbps links).
n
'No Receive flows: receiver cannot support any more flows'
This will be seen if the receiver is subscribed to too many devices (devices typically do not support
the same number of flows as they do channels). See Routing Audio > Flows for more information.
n
'No more flows (TX): transmitter cannot support any more flows'
This will be seen if too many devices are subscribed to the transmitter. See Fanout for more
information.
Differentiating between input and output channels
Channels are classified according to whether they put audio data onto, or take audio data off the network:
n A channel that puts audio data onto the network is known as a transmitting, Tx or output channel.
n A channel that takes data off the network is known as a receiving, Rx or input channel.
Device Names and Channel Labels
In Dante, devices and audio channels are identified by names and labels, not “magic numbers”. Device
names and channel labels can be customized.
n Dante routing is performed using the device names and channel labels. A receive channel can be sub-
scribed to the name of a transmit channel at a device.
Example: “Analog L@my-transmitter” describes a channel labelled “Analog L” on a device
named “my-transmitter”. Device names must be unique on a Dante network. Channel labels
must be unique on the device.
n If a device or channel is renamed, Dante routing considers it to be a different device or channel. If a
new device or channel is then given the old name, Dante routing will route from the new device in
place of the previous device.
