positive features and benefits of Dante
how do you subscribe channels in Dante Virtual Soundcard?
jitter - CORRECT ANS-distortion from inconsistent word clock playout what are the old and new (Dante) solutions for clocking? - CORRECT ANS-old solution- use an external master clock; Dante solution- use clock synchronization method speed of sound - CORRECT ANS-343 m/s latency - CORRECT ANS-audio signal delay in a system from transport and/or processing the three components of modern small networks - CORRECT ANS-things you connect, switches, and cables what cabling is used for Dante in short runs? - CORRECT ANS-CAT5/CAT what cabling is used for Dante in long runs? - CORRECT ANS-fiber what kind of ports does fiber cabling require? - CORRECT ANS-SFP ports switch - CORRECT ANS-device that connects devices on a common network is WiFi compatible with Dante audio? - CORRECT ANS-no unmanaged switch - CORRECT ANS-plug and play, no adjustments or settings available managed switch - CORRECT ANS-has many options, allows for tests and adjustments
On a Dante Network, there must be a different clock leader for each sample rate on the network. - CORRECT ANS-One clock leader will provide synchronization to all Dante devices, regardless of their individual sample rates or frame rates A 1Gbps network switch can manage more Dante channels than a single 1Gbps link can? - CORRECT ANS-A nonblocking network switch will be able to handle the total of all ports capacity at all times. An audio subscription (connection) can be established between two Dante interfaces operating at different bit depths. - CORRECT ANS-Like most digital audio devices, Dante devices will usually be able to add missing bits or truncate extraneous bits to match the expected internal operation. A Dante audio subscription (connection) can be established between two Dante interfaces operating at different audio sample rates. - CORRECT ANS-Each Dante interface can only operate at one sample rate at a time. What audio sample rates are supported by Dante? - CORRECT ANS-Dante supports most common sample rates from 44.1kHz to 192kHz. If we increase the sample rate of a device from 48kHz to 96kHz, what is the impact to the network? - CORRECT ANS-A 96kHz subscription will require (roughly) twice as much bandwidth as a 48kHz subscription. The bit depth of an audio system dictates: - CORRECT ANS-the resolution of the audio signals amplitude. A greater bit depth increases dynamic range. The sample rate of an audio system dictates: - CORRECT ANS-the audii resolution in time. According to the Nyquist Theorem, the sample rate must be at least twice the highest audio frequency to be captured. Dante audio is sent: - CORRECT ANS-uncompressed, bit-perfect.
Roughy how many channels of 24-bit,48kHz audio can be carried on a 1Gbps connection? - CORRECT ANS-512x Dante AV devices send and receive uncompressed audio and is completely compatible with Dante audio devices - CORRECT ANS-Dante AV devices transport audio and video in separate essences so it is possible for a Dante AV device to send its audio channels to a Dante Audio device and vice-versa Dante AV is available in a variety of video codecs. What video codec is used by "Dante AV Ultra" that was discussed in this class? - CORRECT ANS-Compressed using a visually lossless JPEG codec. Dante AV Ultra uses a JPEG2000 video codec and a 1Gbps connection. What is its maximum supported resolution(s) and frame rate(s)? Expressions here are shown in resolution, interlaced/progressive, framerate. For example, 1080p30 means 1920x1080, progressive, 30fps. - CORRECT ANS-Up to 4Kp Dante AV devices have a scaler in it. What does the scaler affect? - CORRECT ANS-The scaler can adapt screen resolution. (i.e. - it can scale a 4K source to 1080p for display) Which answer best describes the JPEG2000 encoding process? - CORRECT ANS-There is a "visually lossless" impact on the first encoding. Further encode/decode processes will experience no further loss. Interlaced video draws all the odd lines, then all the even lines. This creates two "fields" for each frame. - CORRECT ANS-The interlaced signal contains two fields of a video frame captured consecutively. This enhances motion perception to the viewer, and reduces flicker. JPEG2000 codecs are used in digital cinema rooms today. It is visually lossless, providing excellent results for both video and computer graphics (like spreadsheets and slide
presentations). - CORRECT ANS-The JPEG2000 offers sharp quality and intense colour definition with a visual accuracy. It is well-adopted in professional use cases. What factors significantly affect the overall bandwidth demands of a compressed video flow? (Select all that apply.) - CORRECT ANS-The video frame resolution (i.e. - 1080p vs 4K) The chroma sampling (i.e. - 4:4:4 vs 4:2:0) The frame rate (ie 24fps vs 60fps) On a Dante network, a single clock leader is established to manage all audio sample rates and video frame rates. - CORRECT ANS-A single Clock Leader on the network is able to keep all followers synchronised, regardless of their sample-rates or frame-rates. JPEG2000 codecs process video frames in groups. If a packet is corrupted, the picture will automatically recover when the current group of frames ends and the next keyframe arrives. It could be several frames. - CORRECT ANS-The JPEG2000 codec is an intraframe codec capturing each frame individually. Which IP Range is not designated for use on a local network? - CORRECT ANS-8.8.. Many Dante products will provide a Dante port and "Manufacturer Control" port that is totally separate. The separate port might be used to remote control a mixer, program a DSP, or steer a PTZ camera. How do you set the IP address for the manufacturer's control port? - CORRECT ANS-Read the instruction manual for the product. Setting the manufacturer's control port is unrelated to Dante, and thus it can be different for each product line. On a network switch, any cable can plug in anywhere. However, a best practice for cable management is to start
If a device has obtained an IP address using Link Local, which IP configuration would be within its subnet - CORRECT ANS-IP Address: 169.254.189.23 Subnet Mask: 255.255.0. Neutrik etherCON ports must be populated by Neutrik etherCON cables. - CORRECT ANS-The Neutrik etherCON port provides an RJ45 at the center and thus it does accept standard Ethernet cables. What IP addressing methods are available for Dante devices? (Select all that apply.) - CORRECT ANS-DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Link Local Static IP Addressing Which statements are true about Dante and switches to connect them? (Select two.) - CORRECT ANS-Some Dante devices can daisy-chain, allowing small systems to run without the need for an external network switch. Unmanaged switches may be fine for small systems. Many Dante products will provide a Dante port and "Manufacturer Control" port that is totally separate. The separate port might be used to remote control a mixer, program a DSP, or steer a PTZ camera. When this manufacturer control port is provided, it is sometimes exposed on its own network connection, sometimes it is merged with an internal network switch so it appears through the Dante Primary port. - CORRECT ANS-True False Which of these are network topology methods were discussed for connecting Dante and Dante AV devices? (Select two.) - CORRECT ANS-star spiral daisy chain (also known as switched) hook and ladder
When using category cable, what type is recommended? - CORRECT ANS-CAT5e or better. When choosing a network switch, what minimum speed is suggested? - CORRECT ANS-1 Gbit switch Which statement is true about PoE: - CORRECT ANS-Each PoE device will draw only the power it needs. Manufacturers typically list the power draw of their PoE devices - you can add the total plus a cushion (perhaps 20%). Tell me about Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) - CORRECT ANS-It should be disabled on Dante network (or any real-time network). While it can save a bit of energy, it is known to cause data interruptions that can skew clocking (synchronization) and cause audio/video dropouts. If a device has an IP address of 192.168.15.12 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, which IP address would be within its subnet? - CORRECT ANS-192.168.15. What type of network connections should be used to transport Dante traffic? (Select all that apply.) - CORRECT ANS-Fiber optic connections - common for 1Gbit or faster in link lengths of 300m-500m. These can go for kilometers. CAT5e or better for 1Gbit links up to 100m in length. WiFi can only be used for control data. No audio or video media will be transported on WiFi. A single computer can run Dante Virtual Soundcard and Dante Via at the same time. - CORRECT ANS-False Dante devices remember their settings and automatically restore on power loss or manual restart. Dante Controller does not need to be present on the network for this to happen. - CORRECT ANS-True

If a network has video devices providing content at 4Kp60 and 1080p60 as well as audio devices providing content at 96kHz and 48kHz, how many clock leaders are elected? - CORRECT ANS- 1 - one clock leader for all devices. What are Dante Application Library (DAL) and Dante Embedded Platform (DEP)? - CORRECT ANS-Ways to add Dante to products without requiring specific chipsets from Audinate. Products using these may require a separate activation process to enable Dante functionality. A connection between Dante audio and/or video channels is called: - CORRECT ANS-a subscription. What is latency (generically)? - CORRECT ANS-Latency is the amount of time required for a process to occur - we measure it from input to output of a process The same Dante audio and/or video channels can be sent to multiple receivers on the network at the same time. (In other words, the signal can be split to multiple destinations.) - CORRECT ANS-True

When will the audio playout of the receiving device? - CORRECT ANS- 1 milli seconds In a [________________] transaction, bandwidth is only used between a Dante transmitter and receiver when an active subscription is made. - CORRECT ANS-Unicast QoS will not have a positive effect on constant bandwidth services. - CORRECT ANS-True IGMP snooping listens for reports to [___________] messages in order to restrict [______________________] traffic. - CORRECT ANS-IGMP query multicast A switch populates its [______________________] by observing the source [__________________________] of ARP requests and responses passing through. - CORRECT ANS-MAC address table MAC addresses Giving an external word-clock to a Dante device replaces all internal clocking mechanisms. - CORRECT ANS-False It is highly recommended for the backplane of a switch to be able to accommodate full bandwidth use of all ports in both directions. - CORRECT ANS-True
SCENARIO: You have a Dante system that seems to be functioning correctly most of the time. There are no external word clocks configured and no preferred master configured. The problem: several devices that report they are losing sync occasionally. What steps would you take to find the root cause of the problem? (Select all the apply) - CORRECT ANS-You suspect that multicast traffic is not able to traverse the network in both directions (i.e. from master to all slaves, and from all slaves to the master). To check if this is the case you enable unicast delay requests on the slaves, then monitor the clock status histogram for evidence of disruption in PTP. When this resolves the problem you suspect that ACLs blocking multicast on UDP ports 319 and 320 in a direction from the slave to the master is to blame. DNS resolves [___________] to IP addresses. ARP resolves [_______________] to MAC addresses. - CORRECT ANS-Names IP Addresses Routers do not use IP addresses- they only use MAC addresses. - CORRECT ANS-False Dante devices automatically change unicast flows to multicast when a fan-out is detected - CORRECT ANS-False Which one of the following situations may call for QoS to be turned on?
