AEQ Audio Over IP
Routing System

This information can be seen when viewing a device on "Dante Controller", and allows Dante
devices to determine compatibility with other devices, such as compatible sample rates to allow
audio to be routed.
Device Channels.
A Dante device has a number of channels associated with it. These are either transmit (Tx) or
receive (Rx) channels. Receive channels and devices are listed down the left side of the grid.
Transmit channels and devices are listed along the top of the grid.
Transmit channels are advertised on the network. A receiver uses this advertisement to
establish a subscription to the channel. A transmit channel can be sent to multiple receivers
using unicast or multicast.
Receive channels are connected to transmit channels via a subscription. Each receive channel
will receive audio over the network from at most one transmit channel. Chapter 4.7.4.1 explains
this in detail.
1.4.2. Differentiation between input and output channels.
Channels are classified according to whether they put audio data onto, or take audio data off
the network:
• A channel that puts audio data onto the network is known as a transmitter, Tx or output
channel.
• A channel that takes data off the network is known as a receiver, Rx or input channel.
1.4.3. Device Names and Channel Labels.
In Dante, devices and audio channels are identified by names and labels. Device names and
channel labels can be customized.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Device names must be unique on a Dante network. Channel labels must
be unique on the device.
Dante routing is performed using the device names and channel labels. A receive channel can
be subscribed to the name of a transmit channel at a device.
