Not showing up in Dante controller

[danyal]

I was able to get this running on OSX. I have a dante primary and it seems to be able to see the AES67 stream (it's a dante DSP) but I'd prefer to configure the receive/transmit via dante controller and aes-sender is not showing up there under transmit. Any ideas?

[s0600204]

The Dante specification includes a (proprietary) control protocol that runs alongside Dante audio streams. It is this that Dante Controller uses to configure Dante devices.

AES67 is an audio-stream-only protocol - it does not prescribe a way that AES67 devices might be remotely configured.

Some manufacturers of AES67-compatible devices (e.g. Merging Technologies, Glensound) also happen to provide an application that may be used to configure all attached devices by that manufacturer from a single UI, but these applications use control protocols specific to the manufacturer in question and not part of AES67.

As such, the reason why aes67-sender does not show up in Dante Controller's "Transmit" section is because there is no standardised way for Dante Controller to recognise AES67 devices. It sees advertised audio streams, but not the devices that send them.

Hope that serves as an explanation.
