Dante Level 1 Overview

These flashcards cover key terms and definitions related to Dante networking and audio/video transmission concepts.

Dante Network

A network where different clock leaders provide synchronization to all Dante devices regardless of their individual sample rates.

1Gbps Network Switch

A switch capable of managing more Dante channels than a single 1Gbps link, allowing the total of all port capacities to be handled at all times.

Bit Depth

The resolution of the audio signal's amplitude; greater bit depth increases dynamic range.

Sample Rate

The audio resolution in time; according to the Nyquist Theorem, it must be at least twice the highest frequency to be captured.

Uncompressed Audio

Audio that is sent in a bit-perfect manner without compression.

JPEG2000 Codec

A video codec used for visually lossless compression, providing excellent results for video quality.

Dante AV

Devices that transport audio and video in separate essences, allowing for compatibility with Dante audio devices.

Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)

A feature that should be disabled on Dante networks, as it can cause data interruption and skew clock synchronization.

Subscription (in Dante)

A connection that can be established between two Dante interfaces for audio or video channels.

Latency

The amount of time required for a process to occur, measured from the input to the output of a process.
