Dante Certification Level 2 Part A
What does Dante redundancy do? - ✔✔Feature that allows glitch-free flow of audio through a
Secondary network when the Primary network fails for any reason
Can the Secondary (redundant) port on a Dante device be connected to the Primary network to
increase channel count? - ✔✔No. This will cause the network to fail.
How does one setup Dante redundancy? - ✔✔Connect a second set of cables and switches to
create a network that uses only the Secondary port of Dante devices
Can the Secondary (redundant) port be configured to daisy chain devices? - ✔✔Yes, but only on
certain Dante devices. Always check.
When would you select the "Enable Sync to External" box for devices on the DC Clock Status
tab? - ✔✔When a device is either a) connected to an external word clock, or b) when using the
internal clock of a device to drive a Dante option card
Dante [ ... ] use unicast as the default mode of transmission. - ✔✔does
A unicast network connection is: - ✔✔- Communication that is only between specific devices on
a network
- Default Dante behavior
A multicast network connection is: - ✔✔- One to many
- Useful for solving "Fan out" conditions
A broadcast network connection is: - ✔✔- One to everyone
- Not used by Dante for audio
- A common type of network traffic
A unicast Dante Flow can contain up to [ ... ] different Tx channels of audio from the same
device. - ✔✔4
How does Dante Controller inform you that multicast is recommended? - ✔✔With a "Fan out'
warning.
Dante Multicast Flows are manually created on an as needed basis. - ✔✔True
Multicast Flows should be used when you... - ✔✔Wish to connect a transmitter to multiple
receiving devices, typically more than 3
You [ ] have multiple Preferred Masters in a Dante network. - ✔✔can
Selecting a single Dante device to be the Preferred Master [ ... ] force it to win the clock master
election - ✔✔will
Dante Controller has primary and secondary network connection options. - ✔✔True
Devices on a Dante network [ ... ] use different latency settings at the same time. - ✔✔can
How is a Dante clock master selected? - ✔✔By election.
When should QoS be considered? - ✔✔When using Dante on a network with significant amount
of mixed (non-audio) traffic.
Dante Via and Dante Virtual Soundcard [ ... ] be used at the same time on the same computer. -
✔✔cannot
How do switch hops affect Dante latency? - ✔✔More switch hops -> greater minimum latency.
Settings above minimum are unaffected.
Can a Dante network with 5 switch hops support latency of 1ms or less? - ✔✔Yes. Minimum
recommended latency will be 0.5ms
How can actual latency performance be seen? - ✔✔Using the Latency monitor in Dante
Controller.
How can a Dante device be configured to act as a plug-and-play replacement for another? -
✔✔By using identical names for both devices.
A single network that carries audio, telephone, video, and data communication services at once
is... - ✔✔A converged network.
When should IGMP snooping be considered for use on a Dante network? - ✔✔In systems where
some devices are intolerant of large amounts of multicast traffic.
What is Dante Virtual Soundcard? - ✔✔Software that turns computers into Dante-enabled
workstations, connecting audio applications to a Dante network.
How does Dante Virtual Soundcard work with DAWs? - ✔✔By providing a standard Core
Audio, ASIO or WDM audio interface that behaves like a regular soundcard.
How many channels does Dante Virtual Soundcard support? - ✔✔Up to 64x64.
Dante Virtual Soundcard [ ... ] act as the clock master for the network. - ✔✔cannot
What is Dante Via? - ✔✔- Software that allows local audio I/O & applications on your computer
to access the Dante network
- Software that provides it's own Dante system clock
A computer running Dante Via [ ... ] be the Clock Master for a Dante network. - ✔✔can
[ ... ] Dante devices have a secondary network capability. - ✔✔Some
Dante Controller [ ... ] a setting that allows an external clock to synchronize a Dante network. -
✔✔contains
