Dante Level 1 Certification
pulse code modulation - ANS -a method used to digitally represent analog signals
Nyquist frequency rule - ANS -samples must be taken at twice the maximum audio
frequency
higher bit depth results in a higher or lower number of possible amplitudes - ANS
-higher
increasing the sample rate and bit depth leads to a __________ bandwidth - ANS
-higher
formula for audio bandwidth - ANS -sample rate x bit depth
the standard gigabit connection on a network allows for how many mbits/sec? - ANS
-1000
word clock - ANS -clock that determines where in the data an audio sample begins
fault state - ANS -in Dante, a state in which values are different due to incorrect clock
sync
jitter - ANS -distortion from inconsistent word clock playout
what are the old and new (Dante) solutions for clocking? - ANS -old solution- use an
external master clock; Dante solution- use clock synchronization method
speed of sound - ANS -343 m/s
latency - ANS -audio signal delay in a system from transport and/or processing
the three components of modern small networks - ANS -things you connect, switches,
and cables
what cabling is used for Dante in short runs? - ANS -CAT5/CAT6
what cabling is used for Dante in long runs? - ANS -fiber
what kind of ports does fiber cabling require? - ANS -SFP ports
, switch - ANS -device that connects devices on a common network
is WiFi compatible with Dante audio? - ANS -no
unmanaged switch - ANS -plug and play, no adjustments or settings available
managed switch - ANS -has many options, allows for tests and adjustments
what settings are managed and unmanaged switches good in? - ANS -unmanaged is
good in small dedicated audio networks; managed switches are good in "mixed" and/or
heavily loaded networks
are EEE/green switches a good choice for Dante? - ANS -no
name some issues with daisy chaining - ANS -doesn't work well for low latency due to
switch hops, issues with one device causes issue for all devices in chain
what is the recommended style of network topology for Dante? - ANS -star aka hub
formation
star formation - ANS -all devices are connected to a single switch
multiple star formation - ANS -a switch joins two or more stars together to form a larger
network
what are the three network layers? - ANS -layer 1: physical connections; layer 2: data
link (devices represented by fixed hardware address); layer 3: devices assigned
variable IP addresses
should you use automatic or manual IP addresses with Dante? - ANS -automatic
direct communication is only available between devices in the same ________ - ANS
-IP address range
LAN - ANS -local area network; contains a small number of devices with a common
address range
stand alone network - ANS -a single LAN dedicated to one purpose; not connected to
other LANs
