Awareness | Q-LAN clocking requirements for software-based Dante
Information
When using the Software Dante TX and Software Dante RX components, observe these clocking requirements, which are all configurable in Design Properties:
- Always use PTPv2 Domain 0 (default) unless you have configured an alternate domain in Dante Domain Manager (DDM).
- Configure the Software Dante Receive Latency to compensate for network latency variation.
- If you require the Q-SYS Core to be the clocking Preferred Master, you cannot set this flag in Dante Controller. Instead, configure the Q-SYS Designer > Design Properties > PTP Priority 1 property to be <= 127 and ensure that no other devices have 'Preferred Master' checked in Dante Controller.
Refer to the Design Properties topic for explanations of these properties.
