Yamaha Network Switch Precautions
The two SWX2200 series models do not include the QoS function
(DSCP based QoS with four absolute priority queues) recommended for
Dante networks, but the switch load is so low (less than 50% of the
used bandwidth) that QoS is not necessary where a dedicated gigabit
network can be provided for the Dante system.
The two SWX2200 series models do not include the IGMP Snooping
function recommended for Dante networks, but IGMP Snooping is not
necessary where multicast flow is not used extensively.

Dante is a digital audio network protocol developed by the
Audinate company of Australia. Based on IP networking and gigabit
Ethernet, it allows low-latency transmission of multiple
uncompressed audio channels via standard Ethernet cables and
network switches.
Network Peripheral Guide
Innovative Network Based System SolutionsWith functionality that
only an advanced network can provide, Dante enables sound system
solutions that offer significant advantages over conventional
approaches. One of the most notable benefits is that audio routing
and connections between Dante capable devices can be designed and
implemented independently from the physical cabling. In addition to
being able to freely configure audio signal flow between Dante
devices without being restricted by the number of physical cables
available, input and output points can be added as required.
Computer control and recording signals are carried over the same
cables as the audio data, so audio and control are consolidated in
one powerful network.
High Capacity for High Definition AudioA single gigabit link via
CAT5e Ethernet cable can handle up to 512 bidirectional channels of
48 kHz/24 bit audio, for a total of 1,024 receive and transmit
channels. If optical fiber is used the data can be transferred over
distances of several kilometers. And since
all audio signals on the Dante network are digital, no signal
degradation or loss occurs.
Flexible Network ConfigurationDante not only supports daisy
chain and star network topologies, but allows the two to be
combined for extraordinary flexibility in accommodating live sound
systems, permanent installations, and an extensive range of other
applications. Setup is easier and smoother, so installation times
can be greatly reduced.
RedundancyMany Dante compatible devices come with dual network
connections as a standard feature, for easy redundant network
setup. If a problem occurs in the primary network or a related
network switch, the secondary network automatically takes over so
that the entire system continues to function without audio signal
interruptions or noise. This type of setup is ideal wherever
maximum reliability is required.
Precision Clock Sync and Low LatencyDante employs a PTP
(IEEE1588 Precision Time Protocol) standard clock that is totally
independent from the audio signal, achieving high-precision,
sample-accurate synchronization. This contributes to extremely
low-latency audio transmission as well as perfectly synchronized
multi-channel audio between devices and networks via network
switches. And since different receive latencies can be specified
for devices within the same Dante network, it is possible to create
network zones with different receive latencies to match the needs
and scale of the system.
Future ReadySince Dante is based on standard network protocols,
it can take full advantage of the functionality provided by
existing network devices to create exceptionally flexible, reliable
digital audio networks that do not impose performance limitations.
It is also ready to support new protocol standards such as AVB and
AES67, providing compatibility with future developments in network
technology.

Two Ri8-D input rack units and two Ro8-D output rack units are
connected to an LS9-16 console fitted with a Dante-MY16-AUD
expansion card via an SWX2200-8G Smart L2 Switch. This provides the
console with an additional 16 mic/line input channels and 16 line
output channels. The Ri8-D microphone preamplifiers can be remotely
controlled from the console via Dante. Dante Virtual Soundcard
allows multitrack recording to a computer based DAW at the same
time.
A QL series console is connected to two computers via an
SWX2200-8G Smart L2 Switch for a simple recording system. Dante
Virtual Soundcard directly routes the QL1 microphone and line
inputs to the computer based multitrack DAW after the preamplifier
gain stage, without going through the consoles input channels. Two
computers can be connected, as shown in the example, to provide a
backup recording system.
The VLAN capability of an SWX 2200-8G is used to set up separate
networks for Dante and control signals.
Up to 64 mic/line input channels from the QL5 console and
Rio3224-D I/O rack can be routed to the CL5 console via Dante, and
the CL5 mix can then be sent back to the QL5 and Rio3224-D for
output.
An SWX2200 series switch in the recording booth can route audio
from the network to multiple computers for multitrack recording via
Dante Virtual Soundcard and/or Dante Accelerator cards.
A Wireless Access Point allows a tablet computer running the CL
StageMix application to connect to the network for remote CL5
control or Dante Accelerator cards.
An SWX2200-8G allows a simple Dante network configuration. The
MTX5-D receives up to eight mic/line inputs for processing and
output,
either directly to XMV-D power amplifiers or to standard power
amplifiers via an Ro8-D output rack.
A versatile, user-friendly control environment can be designed
using DCP series control panels installed in appropriate
locations.
VXS/VXC series speakers and XMV-D power amplifiers are capable
of Lo-Z and Hi-Z operation, and it is even possible to combine Lo-Z
and Hi-Z operation to flexibly meet just about any system
requirements.
The MTX Editor application running on a computer connected to
the Dante network allows convenient monitoring and control of the
MTX5-D and XMV-D units.
Detailed Dante settings can be programmed via the Dante
Controller application.
A gigabit switch can be added for redundant network connections.
A Wireless Access Point allows a tablet computer or smartphone
running
the Wireless DCP application to connect to the network for
remote MTX5-D control.
