Configure Dante Follow

A KLANG processor mix needs to be routed via Dante to :kontroller. This can either be done manually via Dante Controller or KLANG:kontroller’s Dante Follow feature can auto route when a mix is assigned.

Dante Follow is by default NOT enabled on :kontroller.
If Dante Follow is activated, the Control interface communicates internally with the Dante interface which will then subscribe to a Dante transmitter with the exact same device name as the KLANG processor’s unit name that :kontroller is currently connected to.

Everytime a different mix is chosen on kontroller it will subscribe to a Dante transmitter with this name and adapt the channels accordingly. In this case Dante Controller is not required.

STEP 1 | Enable Dante Follow

On :kontroller directly:

CONFIG (3sec) > AUDIO > Dante Follow > ON

via KLANG:app

Login to :kontroller with KLANG:app and go to CONFIG > CONNECT > DANTE FOLLOW.

STEP 2 | Change Custom Dante Transmitter Name

Login with KLANG:app to the same KLANG processor to which :kontroller should connect to. By default the Processor device name will be used to search for Dante devices with the same name.

On KLANG:vokal with the new KLANTE Dante module, the Dante Transmitter Name can be detected automatically.
Other KLANG processors with built-in Dante, e.g. :fabrik, :vier, :vokal (without KLANTE Dante module) CANNOT automatically detect the Dante name and hence the Dante device name or Custom Dante Transmitter name have to be set manually (See below).

Go to KLANG:app > CONFIG > INFO > Set > Custom Transmitter Name

Now enter the exact same name as shown in Dante Controller for the device that is transmitting the KLANG mixes to the Dante network and click SET. In this example we use “customName”.

  1. In Dante Controller, connect to Dante module associated with the KLANG processor, i.e. the Dante devices that sends the immersive mixes to the Dante network.
  2. Double Click on this device to open Dante Controller – Device View
  3. Go to the Device Config tab
  4. Under “Rename Device” make sure this name is identical to the custom transmitter Dante name in KLANG:app
Do not use special characters, as they will not be accepted properly. Make sure that both the KLANG Unit Name and the Dante Device Name are 100% identical for Dante Follow to work, with the exception mentioned above to not use braces for Dante names for a cascade of KLANG processors.
To use Dante Follow on a cascade of KLANG processors, make sure to use the name followed by the number in braces as the unit name, e.g. customName(1) and the name followed by only the number as the Dante device name, e.g. customName1. See cascade guide for details…
Newer :kontrollers with Dante IPcore (not Ultimo chips) can automatically detect available Dante devices and also configure the Custom Dante Device name without the need for Dante Controller.
