Example Scenario
A common application that requires summing is a video conference where there are multiple microphones. When a device (a
computer running conferencing software and Dante Virtual Soundcard, for example) only supports 1 or 2 Dante receiver chan
nels, the Audio Network Interface combines the input signals to transmit as a single Dante channel.
① Summed analog audio channels
When the 4 analog audio channels are summed, each of the Dante transmit channels includes all of the input signals.
② Single Dante audio channel
One Dante signal is sent over the network, which contains all 4 summed channels.
③ Connection to computer
A computer that is running limited number of Dante channels with Dante Virtual Soundcard, receives all audio on a single
channel. This audio is sent to the far end.
Encryption
Audio is encrypted with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256), as specified by the US Government National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) publication FIPS-197. Shure devices that support encryption require a passphrase to make
a connection. Encryption is not supported with third-party devices.
To activate encryption:
Open the Settings menu and select the General tab.
Select Enable Encryption.
Enter a passphrase. All devices must use the same passphrase to establish an encrypted connection.
Important: For encryption to work, all Shure devices on your network must use encryption.
