Dante Controller User Guide
Packet loss results in audio glitches, so it is very important to ensure that all receivers have their latency
set high enough to prevent packet loss.
Setting device latency too high, however, can interfere with low-latency applications (for example, real-
time monitoring when recording vocals), so it is sometimes important to find a balance between low
latency and guaranteed audio integrity.
The Latency tab can be used to identify:
n Devices that are dropping packets because their latency is set too low
n Devices that are at risk of dropping packets because their latency is set too low
n Devices that could potentially have their latency reduced (if required; generally, the default Dante
latency of 1ms is more than adequate for low-latency applications)
About the Histogram
The transmitter's name is displayed at the top of the histogram, along with the latency value against which
the histogram is reporting.
The horizontal axis shows the distribution of audio packet latency measurements from the transmitter. The
vertical axis shows the number of measurements recorded at each data point, on a logarithmic scale.
Measurements are taken at roughly 1 second intervals, from when Dante Controller is started.
To clear the histogram, click Clear. Latency measuring will then restart.
To save the histogram as a png image, click Save.
Note: If any subscriptions are via multicast flows, there may be two histograms displayed for one
transmitter: one histogram for the unicast flows, and one for multicast. This is because multicast
flows always use a latency of 1ms. If the receiver is set to a latency other than 1ms, two histograms
will be displayed.
