  • Route ancillary channels for AV devices
  • Connect to Dante Domain Manager and control enrolled devices
  • Lock and unlock Dante devices
  • Rename device channels from numbers to names that suit you
  • Customize the receive latency (latency before play out)
  • Save audio and video routing presets
  • Apply previously saved presets
  • Edit presets offline, and apply as configurations for new network deployments
  • View and set per-device configuration options, including:
  • Changing the device name
  • Changing sample rate and clock settings
  • Viewing detailed network information
  • Access the device web page to upgrade firmware and license information (where supported)
  • Identify a device for example by flashing LEDs (where supported)
  • View network status information, including:
  • Multicast bandwidth across the network
  • Transmit and receive bandwidth for each device
  • View device performance information, including latency statistics and packet errors
