ASIO works with pro audio suites and supports unto 128 channels with a dedicated PCI card or 64 on an onboard NIC. When installing DVSC you have the choice of installing an ASIO or WDM driver. The major drawback with the Dante Virtual Sound Card is that at a Windows level Watchout can only access 2 of the potential 64 audio channels that Dante can offer. It's one of those systems that once you have used it you wonder what you did without it! Jonas, the dante system is affordable, implemented by multiple manufactures, extremely versatile and reliable all of which mean it is gaining favour in the corporate audio world and beyond. Mike is correct that if you get the network interface set up Dante and Watchout will play together well, we've seen and tested this in real world events. We have a sister sound company Dimension Audio who are using the Dante system extensively now and we have been working with them on testing our Watchout systems with Dante.

We have had some success with Dante virtual sound card and Watchout and indeed many other media severs. But that's my personal opinion of course! Could you elaborate on the specific benefits? Or is it more like a "we do it because we can" kind of thing? -)

Or in the rare situation the venue has a Dante interface in the mixer, you can make the patch there, so why would WO accommodate the patching in the software? -)Īnyway, don't think it's a good idea to implement a virtual soundcard in a WO system. (And there and then you could always make the necessary patching). Never ran into a client stating it wanted to deliver Dante to my sound system -) So basically you would always need a (expensive) breakout box to supply the signals to the venue you're working in. But as are those, it's not common as a source format, which is still mostly just analog (xlr/trs (un)balanced) or digital (aes/ebu). (With the added benefit it works on standard ip networks). Wouldn't it be great if one could from within Watchout assign input and outputs channel to and from Dante?Īs far as I know, Dante is a multichannel standard intended for use as digital multicore, just like MADI, cobranet or aes50. Has anybody tested the Virtual sound card with WO and found similar issues?

In this thread I already found a tool to assign Mono or Stereo files to specific output tracks, which is a good starting point to make the handling of multi channel audio files in the WO interface much easier ( ). We then went back to a RME Fireface to playout the multichannel audio.Īs Dante is now more common in the industry and multi channel application happen day to day with WO I was wondering if there are any plans to extend the support of Dante networking? So from a networking standpoint all WO traffic should have been routed to interface 1, and all Dante traffic should have been routed to interface 2.įor some reason at the time (I didn't had the time to investigate further) as soon as Dante was activated the display computers would not play in sync any more and there were occasional dropouts in the communication. Subnet mask on both interfaces was class b or c / 255.255.0/255.0. One was used with a separate gigabit switch for the Watchout network exclusivly, the other one was used with a different gigabit switch for Dante.ĭante IPs were .y (thats what they default to, its a feature not a missing DHCP). The display computer had 2 physical ethernet ports on the motherboard.

These rules are implemented at the moderators' discretion.I have tried to install the Dante Virtual sound card on a WO display computer in April 2012.
