Preferred Encoding

Shows the current preferred encoding setting and allows you to change the preferred encoding setting for

the device.

Note: This setting does not guarantee that the device will use always the selected encoding: Both

devices must support the selected encoding for it to be used.

Unicast Delay Requests

Delay requests are messages sent by clock slaves to the clock master to establish the time it takes for

data to traverse the network between the devices. By default, delay requests are multicast messages, and

in networks with lots of devices, they can add up. Enabling 'Unicast Delay Requests' forces clock slave

devices to send delay requests to the clock master using unicast instead, which reduces multicast traffic.

Note: Unicast Delay Requests does not have to be enabled on the clock master, only on the clock

slaves.

Important: Some older Dante devices do not support Unicast Delay Requests. Before enabling the

feature for your clock slaves, check that your current clock master supports the feature, by

attempting to enable it for the device. If the clock master device does not support unicast delay

requests, do not enable it on your clock slaves (it may prevent your devices from synchronizing). You

can however choose an alternative clock master that does support it, and then enable it for the clock

slaves that also support it.

Device Latency

Shows the current device latency setting, and allows you to change the operating receive latency for the

selected device. Select a value and click OK to apply the latency to all flows that the device is receiving.

Note: The 150 µsec setting is unavailable for devices that include an internal network switch.

Note: Device latency cannot be configured for Dante Via devices.

Note: Devices enrolled in a Dante domain may support extra latency values.

Warning: Changing the latency value will cause disruption in the audio while the flows are re-

established at the new latency setting.

Reset Device

Allows you to remotely reboot the Dante interface, and also to reapply factory settings (Factory Reset).

Rebooting the Dante device may also require a reset of the host audio equipment containing the device.

Factory Reset wipes the following device configuration settings:
