NXDT104 EXPANSION BOARD, DANTE™ PATCHING AND REMOTE CONTROL
they will be used with the NXDT104 card. Use a small screwdriver to slightly separate the
card from the NXAMP chassis, and remove it.
Slide the NXDT104 board inside the rails, and push it firmly inside the NXAMP. Then put
the two screws back to fix the NXDT104 on the rear panel of the NXAMP.
NB: Keep the NX-DFLT card in a safe place as you would need to put it back if you decide
to remove the NXDT104 board for some reason. Do not use the NXAMP Powered
TDcontroller without any expansion board fitted.
NXAMP with NXDT104 control page in Dante™ controller
Dante™ controller is a PC/MAC software used to discover Dante™ compatible devices on a
network and to patch audio from one device to the other. As a consequence, the NXAMP
fitted with a NXDT104 Dante™ expansion card will be visible in the Dante™ controller.
Dante™ controller does not take care of remote control or monitoring of Dante™ devices.
WARNING! Dante™ controller can be in conflict whit other hardware/software
trying to monitor the Dante™ network status (for example Yamaha™ CL consoles are using
an embedded controller of the Dante™ network). It is recommended to use Dante™
controller for patching audio over the Dante™ network only at setup stage, and to close it
before running a live show.
Routing audio inside a Dante™ network
Bellow is a picture of the first tab, the audio routing matrix page in the Dante™ controller,
showing 1 x Yamaha CL5 console, 2 x Yamaha RIO3224 stage boxes, 2 x NXAMP4x1 with
NXDT104 and 9 x NXAMP4x4 with NXDT104.
The top row shows the audio sources and the left most column shows the audio receivers.
Simply click at the intersection of a source column with a receiver line to patch the audio
channel from the source to the destination.
NB: Patching a source to a receiver can take a few seconds before being effective.
