Dante Controller

Dante Controller is a software application provided by Audinate which allows users to configure and route audio around Dante networks. It is available for PCs running Windows 10 (SP1 and above), 8.1, 10, and Apple Macs running Mac OS X 10.11.6, 10.12.6, and 10.13. Once you install Dante Controller on your PC or Mac and connect it to a Dante network, you can use Dante Controller to:

  • View all Dante-enabled audio devices and their channels on the network.
  • View Dante-enabled device clock and network settings.
  • Route audio on these devices, and view the state of existing audio routes.
  • Change the labels of audio channels from numbers to names that suit you.
  • Customize the receive latency (latency before play out).
  • Save audio routing presets.
  • Apply previously saved presets.
  • View and set per device configuration options including:
  • Changing the device name.
    • Changing sample rate and clock settings.
    • Viewing detailed network information.
    • Access the device web page to upgrade firmware and license information (where supported).
    • Identify a device for example by flashing LEDs (where supported).

Note: Use Cognio to set the Dante channel names and subscriptions of Cognio Smart Devices and Managed Devices. Each time you push a Site, Cognio programs these settings again, which overwrites any changes made to them in Dante Controller. Cognio does not set receive latency, Dante Redundancy, clock settings, or Device Lock. Use Dante Controller for those.
