It is true that only four CL consoles on any single Dante network can be set to control Rio head amps. Each switch has GBIC fiber modules, and the runs between each "node" are fiber (the one from FOH to the truck is just over 300' long, Monitors to FOH just slightly less). In the Music Truck I just have one GigE switch as the Rednets are Primary-only devices. Monitors and FOH each have two GigE switches, one for the Primary and one for the Secondary, and it's all CAT6 at each location. Monitors has two CL5s and five Rio3224s, FOH has two CL5s, a C元, and one Rio, and I have four Rednet 5s in the truck. I just remember them stressing using CAT6 everywhere.įor Arsenio we have essentially three "nodes"-Monitors, FOH, and the music truck. Yeah, I did the CL user training and networking seminars too. You got me on the manual, it's written right there. I was just trying to demonstrate that PTHD with an HD|N card, regardless of whether a physical interface is even connected, can fully access all of DVS. I suppose I should try it with the 002R at some point and see if it explodes. Yeah, I don't keep an HD I/O at home so I don't have any way to check if you can aggregate the DVS with another interface. Turns out that 11 is so stable on the big Mac Pro that I don't really need a backup, so the Beast now spends its time as the Dante system nanny running Dante Controller. I have Nuendo 4 on the same machine and it sees all 64 channels no problem.

But of course in PT10 the ASIO driver will only see 32 of the 64 channels. I turned the Beast (my one-time Hackintosh) into a Windows machine (7) thinking that its main job would be to backup record the Mac Pro HDX|3 system (just the 64 channels dedicated for guest artists) so I installed Dante Virtual Soundcard on it. DVS does indeed show up in the Playback Engine pulldown, and better yet in the I/O Setup all 64 channels of DVS are available. I know this doesn't prove much, but I installed DVS, set it for 64圆4, started it, (without a Dante source) and then started PT10. My home setup (the Gypsy) is HDN with an 002R, so I downloaded DVS (have a license because of the big system on Arsenio).
