n Presets have been enhanced. You are now able to filter the parameters that are saved into presets,
edit preset files offline (this effectively allows you to use Dante Controller as an offline configuration
tool), and apply the saved parameter sets as 'device roles' to any compatible devices, on any net-
work (where supported). See Presets for more information.
n For supported devices, the new Device View > Latency tab allows you to view a histogram of audio
packet latency for each transmitter that the device is subscribed to.
n For supported devices, Clock Status Monitoring allows you to view a histogram of clock stability for
the device.
n Dante Controller can now be connected to primary and secondary networks (where applicable),
enabling full control over redundant devices should the primary network fail.
n Channel Groups allow you to group device channels into sets of 16.
n A new tab, Network Status, displays network related information for all devices on the network.
o
The 'Clear Counters' button on the Device View > Status tab can be used to clear packet error
history for the device.

the status bar displays notifications for new events.

ticast bandwidth (previously shown in the toolbar), and notification icons for the event log and the
clock status monitor.

Bonjour from your system - it is still required by those applications.
