Level 2 Dante Operations Test Study Guide Graded A+

What advantages does unicast have over multicast communication? (Select 3.) {Ans: Unicast is simpler to deliver, reducing the strain on the switch. Unicast can achieve lower latency than multicast. (Minimum latency for multicast is 1msec.) Unicast reduces the strain on the transmitter, allowing the network to repeat the message to multiple destinations. Unicast can cross a router, Multicast cannot. Unicast reduces strain on trunk lines, allowing copies of data to be transmitted once and split at the edge switch.}Connect the Dante chipsets with the maximum number of audio channels they support: Dante AV Ultimo-X PCIe Card HC and IP Core Broadway Brooklyn II {Ans: -64x64 -512x512 -4x0, 2x2, 0x4 -16x16 -8x8 -128x128}What happens if multiple devices have the Preferred Leader checkbox marked? {Ans: Both will become clock leaders - that will be reflected in Dante Controller. Make sure only one device is selected as preferred leader to prevent this problem. Both will be elevated in the clock election process, only one of those two will be come the clock leader.}Can a Dante network with five switch hops support latency of 1 msec? {Ans: A. Yes, but only in daisy chain configuration. B. No. That would require
