Dante Network Audio: What is it? And how can I use it?

I moved this vdo to you tube I can give you a like / this is a great vdo very informative/ thx love ❤️it

Thank you Doug!

I have a question:
I’m getting a tio box to put in a synth cart with an old field pit for a marching band.
I have a tf1 with 16 channels, however, I am using all 16 inputs on the tf1.
With the stage box will I be able to use the inputs on the back of my mixer AND the mixer on the stage box for a total of 32? Or am i looking at this wrong?

Thank you

It sounds like Dante and NDI are the same thing?

I'm new to the industry and have just discovered Dante. Kinda blowing my mind lol...

sorry my questios is i need two dante avios aes3? in & out to map connections?

The Dante Avio AES3 How that work? can I use with analog avio or only AES3 TO AES3?

This was very informative and finally made me see and understand the big picture of how Dante can simplify audio/video production. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I look forward to watching other videos on how to setup and use this technology on the fly.

This is the best explanation of Dante.. Thank you. 👍👍

Best explanation for me so far. Thank you!

Is there a video how Dante works with video mixing and recording

Great video! Thank you for the very comprehensive Dante Explaination!

Spoke to Ricki Cook about Dante at a conference, as he was one of the people that worked on it before it was even called Dante. I’m glad I found this video because he convinced me that this is the future.

A version of Livewire…. created 3 years after the Telos version from USA…

Does Dante expand the number of channels you can use? Let's say you have a 16 input mixer, and you need more? I'm a beginner in this field currently

So I’m a little confused do you need a router to be in the network in order to assign IP address to the different devices or Can you just use switchs and POE switch to Connect all your devices together?

How do you then embed your Dante audio into video. I looked at the AVIO AES3/EBU adaptors but they seem to output to XLR not 1/4” Jack which is what the BMD embedder accepts..? Am I missing something?

Thanks for your great info. All I want to do at this point is install a Dante card into my Midas m32r, run an app off of my computer called Jamzone which is a multitrack player of pre recorded cover songs used to perform live. Its currently sending just 2 channels out in stereo or there’s an option to split the tracks into 2 mono tracks to send a click out one channel and the summed tracks out another. Here’s my question: couldn’t I just use the Dante usb to Ethernet adapter from my laptop or iOS device into the installed card on my Midas m32r and then route the audio to an input Chanel etc? Your advice on this would be highly appreciated. Would of course be willing to pay you for helping me to get this up and running. I know I can just take a usb c cable out ( which is what I’m doing now) of my MacBook Pro or iPad pad pro and run it into my mixer but I’m wanting a much cleaner signal and eventually want to utilize the vast capabilities of the Dante networking ecosystem. Thank you for your time.

Good afternoon can I use the behringer P16 with the yamaha TF5 Mixer

Sir. Can I connect the NY64-d card directly to computer for multitrack recording?

This is the most comprehensive and easy to understand overview of Dante I have come across. I had a hard time wrapping my head around the technology until I saw this video. Thanks.

A really fantastic and informative overview! 👏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾

wow. that was awesome awesome awesome info download. Id always vaguely heard of dante but this was the first time I took a proper look at it. Glad I started with your channel.

I have a Mac Mini and a NAS server with 10GB NICs. I need Dante but it absolutely must be 10GB speeds. Does Dante support 10GB or will they in the future? Great vid. Tks.

Can we connect this Dante AV device to an AP ethernet port instead of switch port.

Finally! A view that actually outlines Dante and gives use-case/example setups to drive it home. The others start off at the basics then quickly evolve into ultra-complicated topics. Thanks for this!

OK so half an hour ago I knew nothing about Dante other than the broad principle, so thank you!

Not sure if you'll be able to advise, and not even sure that there might not be something much simpler and cheaper than Dante that would do what I need perfectly well: I'm in the process of planning the wiring of our home network and the plan so far is to have two ethernet wall plates in each of four rooms, all connected to a managed switch. I was planning to split these into two basic networks (vlans) - one for internet access to each room, and the second network connecting to my "office" which would be a bit like a studio control room, with the other three rooms being like studio "live rooms", with a PC or laptop in each room for AD/DA

Obviously I need to install cable at the right spec, as it's going to be a huge amount of work and I don't want to have to do it all over again in a few years!

So bottom line: How important is the spec of the network cable used for audio over IP? Does it need to be shielded and should I be using 5e, 6a, or doesn't it matter? The house isn't particularly big so we're not talking about more than 25 to 30 metre runs of cable to the switch. Thanks ! :)

Hi doug, really nice video. I would like to ask you a question. I have 2 mixer, allen heath dlive and midas m32. If the dlive have dante 64x64 card and the m32 have dn32-dante, can i connect both mixer directly using ethernet cable to use it as FOH and monitor mixer, or do i need to use additional device to connect both mixer?

I hate it when the licenses are locked to a PC. I work with virtualization tech a lot and this is always a barrier

I was asked to look into DANTE for a customer network! This is a great introduction.
Just a query. Where you have dual Ethernet out, can you configure the networking to send the signal out both interfaces and let the network equipment process both sources? I'm thinking of of a situation where the fibre/CAT6 is damaged and we need instantaneous switchover to a second feed to remove the drop in Tx?

Thank you for a great and informative video! Much appreciated!

Hi
How do I add Skype TX caller over the Dante network through Tricaster.
On tricaster TC1 , Once I connect the Skype tx call, I can’t take the caller sound to the studio monitor (soundbox) at the moment the host only listen through talkback. So if there are few more guests in the studio they can’t hear what the Skype caller is saying.

Incredibly informative and well done video— thanks! Many useful details that I hadn’t found elsewhere. We use Dante plus Ravenna (Merging) for stereo and ATMOS studio. What an incredibly useful tech. BTW, has any extension been proposed, or has anyone found a way to have a multicast ignore a range or specific connections (i.e. to reduce wasted bandwidth)? Maybe sub zones/nets or something else?

Can Dante routed over the internet?

hi, is it possible to mix multiple dante transmitter and send it to one receiver?

hi Doug, I am doing sound system fir a water park.. would you strongly advise networked audio for this?

Thank you for the explanation. i have two questions, i saw LAN interface on one of your TF1 mixer, is that ok to use the LAN to connect with dante? do we need dhcp server for IP assignment?

Thank you, I needed help with multicast you helped me pass my certification for level 2

How did you see the aux busses and program busses in Dante controller FROM your TF series? Is that a TF series-only feature? I’m on a QL5 and on Dante controller, on my receiver (Dante Virtual Sound card into PC for records), only see Dante 1-64 “inputs” on coming from the transmitting QL5. How is the heck dare you seeing/sending your Aux/Matrix feeds in Dante controller in your transmitter sends?

I'm so so super grateful 🙏 for this video. It's the best comprehensive piece packed with so much knowledge. Thank you for this. Can you please help me with a piece on using DAW like Reaper & Ableton Live for live mix to live streaming broadcast?

Hi, does it work over internet??

Your video is really helpful. I'm an IT engineer so I know IP very well. I'm also an audiophile. I think Dante is an awesome marriage of those two technologies. I can't wait to roll it out at my house.

Great content, thank you so much for this very well detailed video about Dante.

Excellent video Doug. If multicast flows work anything like normal IP network multicast then they actually don't go to every device, that would be a broadcast. They would only go to the devices subscribed to the multicast group. This is really cool as it does actually cut down significantly on the network traffic. Looking forward to playing with Dante sometime in the future, it has been 15+ years since I was in the pro audio scene! Multicores were the worst!

Do you know if I can use the "ZOOM Livetrak" (Multitrack Recorder ) with Dante? I have one in my production truck.

Awesome video. Thank you. I work in AV and Audio, but am just starting to learn about DANTE. This was so incredibly helpful. Way to go. 😎

Thank you for the insights Doug. Question: Do you run your system DHCP or static ip? I found when I tried to integrate my Dante gear into a venue’s Dante network, my devices could not get onto the same ip range and had to add a router which changed all the ips to 192.168.XX.XX How do you find most venues running their Dante systems? My experience was not as "plug and play" as I had hoped.

Man! This is good! Excellent job on this! In the process of building a trailer and integrating Dante :) fantastic
