2-16 Installation
x Channel 3 = DANTE 2 LEFT OUTPUT
x Channel 4 = DANTE 2 RIGHT OUTPUT
You can set the sample rate of the OPTIMOD’s Dante output via the DEVICE CONFIG tab in the Dante
Controller software. You must set the sample rate to match the rate of the Dante network device receiving
the OPTIMOD’s output.
4) Configure the 5950’s Dante inputs and outputs.
Unlike the sample rate of the OPTIMOD’s AES3 outputs, the OPTIMOD’s GUI cannot control the sample rate of
its Dante output. Instead. 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz are both suitable; choose the one that matches the setup of
the rest of your transmission facility. Your OPTIMOD will automatically detect the network sample rate and
configure its Dante inputs and outputs to match it, applying sample rate conversion.
a) Navigate to INPUT/OUTPUT > INPUT. Using the SET INPUT TO drop-down, choose DANTE 1 or DANTE
2, depending on how you set up the network in step 2 above.
b) Navigate to INPUT/OUTPUT > DANTE 1.
This screen is conceptually different from the other 5950 input/output screens because this screen contains
both the Dante 1 input and output controls. Note that although they share a setup screen, the Dante 1 input
and output streams are separate and distinct on the network. Note that PC Remote has separate tabs for
DANTE INPUT and DANTE OUTPUT.
c) Set up the Dante 1 input controls:
x REFERENCE LEVEL VU / REFERENCE LEVEL PPM
These two fields track each other with an offset of 7 dB. Adjustments in one field affect the other
field.
x INPUT BALANCE
This control trims the right channel gain. It is usually set to 0 dB.
d) Set up the DANTE 1 output controls:
x OUTPUT SOURCE
Set to FM, FM+DELAY (includes HD Radio diversity delay), MONITOR, HD, OR HD+DELAY. Setting any
OUT SOURCE to HD+DELAY automatically activates the DAB+ mode, delaying the HD output by the
setting of the DAB+ DELAY control, which is located in the HD DIGITAL RADIO tab of PC Remote. This
allows you to compensate for different delays in the links feeding the DAB+ transmitter and its
associated FM transmitter (if used).
x OUTPUT LEVEL
Sets the peak output level in units of dB below full scale.
x PRE-EMPHASIS
This setting only applies if the output is set to FM or FM+DELAY.
