How does the Donte Controller software detect devices on the network?

The Dante Controller software employs an automatic scanning feature to detect devices on the network, making network management much more straightforward for users. When Dante Controller is launched, it initiates a scan of the network to identify all connected Dante-enabled devices. This process allows users to see all available audio sources and destinations, streamlining the configurations needed for setting up audio routings.

Automatic device detection is one of the strengths of the Dante protocol, as it minimizes the need for manual input, making it easier to manage complex audio networks. This capability is essential for live sound environments, recording studios, and installations where quick changes or the addition of new devices may need to occur frequently and efficiently.
