How To | Check for AES67 Support on Dante Device
Learn how to quickly check if a Dante device supports AES67 audio networking.
Procedure
Attero Tech firmware for many Dante devices now includes AES67 support. This document will help identify if the Dante hardware a particular device uses is capable of supporting AES67 or not as sadly, not all devices will be capable of doing so even if the firmware is updated. Whether a particular device will support AES67 is dependent on the specific Dante platform it is built on. See the table below:
Dante Hardware | AES67 supported? |
Brooklyn II | Yes |
Ultimo4X | Yes |
UltimoX | Yes |
Ultimo4 | No |
Ultimo | No |
Confirming the type of Dante hardware a device is using can be done either using Dante Controller or unIFY.
- With the Attero device connected to the network, open Dante Controller.
- Find the device in question and double-click on it's name to bring up its "Device View" view window.
- Select "Status" tab and look for the "Dante Model" field (see below).
Note
This screenshot indicates this device uses an "Ultimo" which mean it is unable to support AES67.
- With the Attero device connected to the network, open unIFY Control Panel.
- In the Dante device list, find the device in question and right-click on it's name.
- Select "Device Info" option.
- Look at "Dante Model" field.
Note
This screenshot indicates this device uses an "Ultimo4" which means it is unable to support AES67.
