What does the term "Subscription" refer to in the context of the Donte Controller?

In the context of the Dante Controller, "Subscription" refers to the connection between a transmitter and a receiver. This means that when a device wants to receive audio data from another device on the Dante network, it must create a subscription to the audio stream being transmitted by the source device.

In a Dante network, devices send (transmit) audio channels over the network, and other devices can subscribe to those channels to receive the audio stream. This subscription process allows for dynamic routing of audio signals, enabling flexibility in how audio is distributed across the network. Each subscription specifies which audio channels (or streams) are received from which transmitters, ensuring that only the desired audio data is flowing to each receiver device.

Understanding the concept of subscriptions is essential for managing audio flows effectively in a Dante network, as it directly impacts the setup and configuration of audio systems in a digital environment.
