Dante Input

Channel Names can be changed offline in the property sheet. It is recommended that name changes are only done in Tesira software.

Initially all channels will be given names in the form <Instance Tag>_<Channel Number>, where Instance Tag is the default value when the block is created and channel number is within the block, starting with 1.

All Dante names and labels are up to 31 characters in length. Name and label comparisons are case-insensitive; “Guitar” and “guitar” are treated as the same label. Unicode and non-roman characters are not supported.

Device names should follow Domain Name System (DNS) hostname rules. Legal characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and '-' (dash or hyphen). Device names must begin with A-Z (or a-z).

Channel labels may use any character except '=' (equals), '.' (full stop or period), '@' (at), \, < and >. Channel labels must be unique on a device. Channel labels do not need to be unique on the network as they are always qualified by device (channel@device).

Please review the Dante Networking section for more details

Initialization Dialog

Name	Description
Channel Count	Provides a dropdown where the number of channels can be selected. If Custom is selected from the drop-down list the number of channels can be specified between 1 and 64.
Network	Allows the required Media Network Setup to be specified. Network selection is not supported in TesiraFORTÉ Only Mode so will not be available.
Equipment Type	Specifies what type of hardware the compiler should allocate the block to. Review the Device Roles section for more details. In TesiraFORTÉ Only Mode the Equipment Type option will not be available.
Fault when Inactive	If enabled, missing Dante channels or flows expected by this block will present a fault in the Tesira system. If disabled, Dante channels or flows expected by this block will not present a fault or log message in the Tesira system.

NOTE: If the channel count is <= 32, then Forte will be an available selection in the Equipment Type droplist. If the channel count is > 32, then Forte will NOT be available in the Equipment Type droplist.

DSP Block Representation

DSP Properties

Name	Description	Range
Show Channel	Displays information and settings specific to the selected channel.
Allocated Unit	Assigns the component (DSP block) to a particular unit in the system.
Fixed in Unit	Prevents the compiler from assigning the unit elsewhere.	True or False
Delay EQ Group	Aligns the timing synchronization for the blocks within the chosen group. See Delay Equalization for more details.
Instance Tag	Allows a unique custom name to be used instead of the default Instance Tag.
Network	Allows the required Media Network Setup to be specified. Network selection is not supported in TesiraFORTÉ Only Mode so will not be available.
Device I/O	Displays the physical Logic I/O channel(s) on the Tesira device that this block has been Assigned,
Muted	Turns the input signal on/off. Mutes or unmutes the signal.	True or False
Level	Adjusts the relative input volume.	-100 to +12
Level Minimum	Minimum on controllable range.	-100
Level Maximum	Maximum on controllable range.	12
Inverted	Adjusts the polarity of the input signal.	True or False
Channel Name	User settable to pick the channel name. This is described at the top of the Dante Input and Dante Output pages.
Fault when Inactive	If enabled, missing Dante channels or flows expected by this block will present a fault in the Tesira system. If disabled, Dante channels or flows expected by this block will not present a fault or log message in the Tesira system.	True or False

Control Dialog
