UsingDDM, you can control the domains in which a virtual device appears, and which channels on the real
device are exposed by the virtual device. Virtual devices can be assigned their own individual device
names.
InDante Controller, virtual devices are represented using green device names. The number of transmit
channels they present is dependent on the number of channels that have been shared on the real device
(usingDDM).
When you subscribe to a virtual device, the audio you receive is from the real device. Virtual devices
cannot subscribe to other devices.
Note: The usual configuration options are disabled for virtual devices.
Legacy Devices
Devices with some legacy (pre-v4.0) versions of firmware can be 'associated' with domains usingDDM.
This adds them to the relevant clock domain, and allows them to exchange audio with devices enrolled in
the same domain, which are also on the same IPsubnet (legacy devices do not support audio routing
between subnets).
When legacy devices are associated with a domain, they only appear inDante Controller when you are
logged into the relevant domain (unless they have been specifically revealed - see HiddenLegacy Devices
below).
Note: Dante Controller must be connected to the same subnet as a legacy device in order for it to
appear in the Dante Controller interface.
