Here&#8217;s a look at the patching from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.audinate.com\/products\/software\/dante-controller\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dante Controller<\/a> software (available from Audinate) into a D400-Dante A-Net Distributor. The D400-Dante can take up to 32 channels from a Dante network that can then be used to create monitor mix content for A640, A360 and A320 Personal Mixers.<\/p>\n<h4>Example 1<\/h4>\n<p>The first example is a straight-through one-to-one patch for a 16-channel monitor mix application. Channel 1 of the mixing console goes to input #1 of the D400-Dante and so on, up to channel #16. The\u00a0Dante Controller software displays \u00a0input sources across the top of the X\/Y grid; destinations are shown vertically on the left side.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2535\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2535\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2535\" src=\"http:\/\/www.aviom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Channel-Routing-03.jpg\" alt=\"D400 Channel-Routing-03\" width=\"650\" height=\"608\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2535\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Transmit channels (across the top row) are patched to the D400-Dante.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>But Dante offers a lot of patching flexibility; anything in your Dante network can be patched to any other device in any order. And that&#8217;s what is happening in the next example which uses 32 channels from the Dante network.<\/p>\n<h4>Example 2<\/h4>\n<p>The D400-Dante is getting some channels from the digital mixing console, and the rest of the channels from a PC that is running Audinate&#8217;s<a href=\"https:\/\/www.audinate.com\/products\/software\/dante-virtual-soundcard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Dante Virtual Soundcard<\/a> software that allows any DAW application to route its channels in and out of the Dante network.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2534\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2534\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2534\" src=\"http:\/\/www.aviom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Channel-Routing-02.jpg\" alt=\"D400 Channel-Routing-02\" width=\"650\" height=\"734\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2534\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The dark blue cursor indicates that Input Channel 23 on the D400-Dante is being edited.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Each subsection of the Dante Controller grid can be opened and closed as needed to show\/hide channels. This makes managing a large number of inputs and devices easier to see on screen while editing. Simply move the cursor until the cross-hairs highlight the desired channel patch and then click the mouse button. The display shows a green check mark for the transmit device and another at the receive device when the channel is properly patched.<\/p>\n<h4>When You&#8217;re Done Patching<\/h4>\n<p>Once you have your channels patched as required for your application, you can close the Dante Controller application and remove the computer connection if desired. You&#8217;ll only need to run the software again if you want to change routing; Dante devices remember their patching assignments across power cycles.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s easy to assign channels from a Dante network to the D400-Dante using Dante Controller software. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2553,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[80,59,93,71,58],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aviom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2532"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aviom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aviom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aviom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aviom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2532"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/www.aviom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2532\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3416,"href":"https:\/\/www.aviom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2532\/revisions\/3416"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aviom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2553"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aviom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2532"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aviom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2532"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aviom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2532"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
