2.5 Set BMB3 Front Panel to INT, EXT, or DANTE

For a complete guide to Dante Clocking, see page 10.

•  When using the 

B16

 on internal clock, set to INT

•  If using external word clock, set to EXT

•  When clocking off Dante network, set to DANTE

 

 

2.6 Connect The Computer’s Native Ethernet Port To Gigabit 

Ethernet Switch

Even when using a 

Dante

 

PCIe Card

, Dante Controller requires a native Ethernet port and will 

not

work via the 

PCIe Card

.

2.7 If Using A PCIe Card, Connect Primary Port Of PCIe Card 

To Gigabit Ethernet Switch

When using a 

Dante

 

PCIe Card

, audio is transmitted via the 

PCIe Card

.

2.8 For INT, Set BMB3 To Desired Sample Rate

Push the “Sample Rate” button on 

BMB3

 faceplate to toggle through sample rates. When set 

to INT, 

BMB3

 must 

always

 be manually set to the desired sample rate. When using EXT or 

DANTE clock, the 

MOTHERSHIP

 will 

not

 need to be manually set via the front panel.

 

 

2.9 For Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS), Open And Run DVS

 

 

  

 

 

      

 

2.10 Open “Dante Controller”
