What are the Dante Application Library (DAL) and Dante Embedded Platform (DEP) primarily used for?

The Dante Application Library (DAL) and the Dante Embedded Platform (DEP) are designed specifically to facilitate the integration of Dante audio networking capabilities into various products, particularly those that may not use specific Audinate chipsets.

Using DAL, developers can incorporate audio networking features into their applications easily, allowing devices to seamlessly communicate over a Dante network. This expands the range of devices that can employ Dante technology, making it accessible to a broader selection of manufacturers and applications without being limited to hardware that includes specific Audinate components.

DEP allows developers to implement Dante functionality directly into their devices by providing a complete software stack that is optimized for embedded systems. This means that even if traditional or non-standard hardware is used, these platforms enable the inclusion of Dante, thus maximizing interoperability and innovation across audio products.

The other options pertain to functionalities that are not the primary focus of DAL and DEP. Managing audio settings in real time, creating backup configurations, and monitoring network traffic are tasks that might be facilitated by Dante products but are not the main purposes of the library and platform. The main goal of DAL and DEP remains the enhancement of network audio capabilities in diverse hardware, ensuring that a wide range of products can benefit from Dante networking technology.
