Exposing Sources and Destinations to the Dante network

To expose a source or destination to the Dante network, click the ‘Enable Dante’ control (a slider in Windows, and a checkbox in macOS).

Note:  Enabling Dante uses resources.

Exposing Sources

When you expose a source to the Dante network, other Dante Via users on the network can send the audio to their own destinations, using Dante Via, or Dante Controller (see Using Dante Controller to Route Audio).

Note:  A Dante Via resource must be set to ‘Enable Dante’ in order for it to appear in Dante Controller. Dante Via resources appear nested under the host computer name in Dante Controller.

When a user first tries to connect to one of your sources, you will be presented with a pop-up dialogue asking you to allow or deny the connection.

See Privacy and Permissions for more information.

When a destination successfully connects to one of your sources, it appears in the ‘Listeners’ field for the source. To stop the destination listening to your source, disable ‘Enable Dante’.

Exposing Destinations

Exposing a destination to the Dante network allows you to send audio to it from a network source.

A network source can be:

• An application or audio device installed on another computer running Dante Via
• A physical device connected to a computer running Dante Via
• A remote Dante-enabled device

Note:  Connecting a network source to one of your destinations will automatically expose the destination to the Dante network.
