Dante Controller User Guide
A virtual device is a 'projection' of a real device, which can appear in multiple domains simultaneously, and
can be subscribed to by real devices in those domains. It presents in Dante Controller as an independent
transmitter, but is really just a logical entity which acts as a subscription proxy for a real device.
Virtual devices are instantiated when real devices are shared between domains using DDM. They cannot
be created using Dante Controller.
Using DDM, you can control the domains in which a virtual device appears, and which channels on the real
device are exposed by the virtual device. Virtual devices can be assigned their own individual device
names.
In Dante Controller, virtual devices are represented using green device names. The number of transmit
channels they present is dependent on the number of channels that have been shared on the real device
(using DDM).
When you subscribe to a virtual device, the audio you receive is from the real device. Virtual devices
cannot subscribe to other devices.
Note: The usual configuration options are disabled for virtual devices.
