Notes about Dante Dante is a transmission protocol developed by Audinate. Using networks based on gigabit Ethernet standards, it enables multi- channel (512 IN/512 OUT) transmission and high precision, for example. Check the Audinate website for details about Dante. https://www.audinate.com/

This card includes a Dante module circuit board made by Audinate. See “Software Licensing” on page 63 for details about the open source software used by the Dante module circuit board. Names and functions of parts This card has RJ-45 connectors that support 100Mbps Ethernet. Use LAN cables to connect these connectors to other devices that support Dante or a Dante network. Rear panel 1 RJ-45 connector This is the main Dante transmission connector. Use this to connect to a Dante network all the time. 2 Link status/activity indicator Green indicates that a link is established between the devices. Blinking indicates that signals are being transmitted between the devices. 3 100Mbps link status indicator Orange indicates that a 100Mbps Ethernet link has been established.8 TASCAM IF-DA2 Connecting to a Dante network In order to set up and use this card, you must also set up the Ethernet network that it is connected to, a computer that runs Dante Controller and other devices that support Dante.

LAN cables used for connections Use LAN cables that are category 5e or faster. Both crossover and straight cables can be used. CAUTION This unit is not compatible with 100Mbps Ethernet switching hubs. Always use switching hubs that support Layer 2 and Gigabit Ethernet. Even though this product is 100Mbp, the speed require- ments of the Dante System as a whole normally neces- sitate the use of Gigabit Ethernet Switches. NOTE

Set the computer to set the IP address automatically.

Restarting the computer might be necessary if a previous network setting is still active on the computer. LAN cables used for connections Use LAN cables that are category 5e or faster. Both crossover and straight cables can be used. CAUTION We recommend using an STP cable (shielded LAN cable) to prevent electromagnetic interference. When using a UTP cable (unshielded LAN cable), attach the included ferrite core to the cable. Attach the ferrite core to the LAN cable as shown in the illus- tration. Use the included cable bands to attach the ferrite core to the LAN cable at a position 20–50 mm from its plug. Attach cable bands Place ferrite core betweenTASCAM IF-DA2

Using Dante Controller Dante Controller overview This card uses the Dante Controller application, which is available at the Audinate website, to connect with other devices that support Dante. Download the latest version of the Dante Controller application and an operation manual from the Audinate website. Audinate download page https://www.audinate.com/products/software/dante-controller Make at least the following settings using a computer that has Dante Controller installed.

Set the audio routing.

Adjust the sampling frequency and bit depth of each Dante device. NOTE Settings made using Dante Controller are stored in the built-in memory of each Dante device. Unless settings are modified, connections will not change even if Dante Controller is quit or the computer is discon- nected from the Dante network. Audio routing settings When Dante Controller is launched, the Network View screen shown below will open. On this screen, you can set and monitor conditions related to the Dante network. 1 Receiving device name This is the name of a receiving device on the Dante network.10 TASCAM IF-DA2 2 Receiving device channels These are the names of the channels of the receiving device on the Dante network. 3 Transmitting device name This is the name of a transmitting device on the Dante network. 4 Transmitting device channels These are the names of the channels of the transmitting device on the Dante network. 5 Audio routing Route the audio channels of the transmitting and receiving devices that you want to connect here. Left-click the intersection of the channels you want to connect on the matrix to connect them. NOTE While pressing the computer keyboard Ctrl key, left-click the “-” at the intersection of device names to connect all connectable channels at once. Changing sampling frequencies and bit depths with Dante Controller Double-click a device name on the Network View screen to open the Device View screen. On this screen, you can set and monitor conditions related to devices on the Dante network. Click the Device Config tab to open the page where you can change the sampling frequency, bit rate and other settings of the device selected in 1 shown in the illustration below.TASCAM IF-DA2

1 Device name This is the name of the device that can have its settings changed in the current Device View. 2 Change device name Edit the device name. 3 Sampling frequency Set the sampling frequency. 4 Bit depth Set the bit depth. 5 Latency setting Set the latency. Use the following guidelines to change the latency setting. Selectable latency value Connected network setup guideline 1msec There are up to 10 layers of gigabit switch between transmitting device and receiving device. 2msec There are 100Mbps transmitters or receivers connected to a Gigabit network. 5msec Use this maximum selectable latency value when creating a large-scale network. CAUTION

Changing the name of a device will clear audio routing settings. For this reason, we recommend changing device names to names that are easy to identify before setting audio routings.

Depending on network connection conditions, setting the latency to a value higher than the guideline might be necessary. NOTE

Set the sampling rate and bit depth to the same values as the other Dante devices that send and receive audio signals. Also set the unit in which the IF-DA2 is installed to the same values.

When using a switched (daisy chain) connection, which does not use a switching hub, set the latency according to the number of Dante devices that signals pass-through as shown below.

Switched (daisy chain) connection example Passes through 2 devices Transmitting device

IF-DA2 or other receiving device Passes through 1 device Transmitting device
