    As someone who works with Dante and system engineering every day, I was stoked to see how you implemented it. But you only scratched the surface of what Dante can do. DVS, DDM, connecting all sorts of processors, Dante video, and more. From small gigs to massive tours and broadcast setups, Dante networking is everywhere.

      I hope you don't mind me asking. Could someone in their 30s get into the trade? Does it require lots of uni/college education? I have always been interested in audio engineering (concerts, venues, small bands etc) and system engineering like this but don't really know where to start.

      Dante is awesome and great to see Linus and team using it. During my AV tech days, I installed a lot of these systems. Eventually received my level 3 cert for Dante, then was moved up to control system programmer. So frickin' easy to program and route audio. Dante should be the standard for any system.

    As someone who works with Dante and Q-Sys systems literally daily, I’m glad to see you went with the implementation you did. Dante is by far the most powerful audio networking solution on the market currently, I use it for everything from broadcasts to large festival systems.
    Two things I should say. Running antenna lines and mounting a pair in proper places will pay off. You may have great coverage now with the receiver tucked away, but RF can be messy and the last thing you want is dropouts.
    Also, I’ve got a history of Q-sys systems failing on me, so if redundancy is the name of the game when it comes to working with their equipment. It may work fine for years, but walking in on a completely down system is not fun. Also put them on a UPS, as they’re unusually susceptible to voltage spikes.
    Subs are also nice 🤣 and a few boxes of line array at one end of the room flown would absolutely MAKE a party

    • @itskdog
      @itskdog 18 วันที่ผ่านมา +6

      Thats the beauty of it - they could have some active subs and just plug a network cable into the extra switch(es) they're already getting out for Whale LAN, and using an XLR cable they can just connect the subs and it "just works".

      I did a small install at my previous church about 5 years ago, and even if the mixer I used only had Dante as an option for stage boxes (rather than a Behringer or A&H proprietary system), I would have used it anyway to avoid the vendor lock-in (so saving money in the long term, you can replace the mixer and just buy a Dante expansion card without replacing the stage boxes as well) and the ability to have devices plugged in to 2 different networks with automatic seamless fail-over if a cable were to fail.

UCI will eventually be moved to something that can be on a tablet for the staff to use day to day. I thought more people would cringe tbh. Once WHALE lan approaches I'll do another full pass, tidy up the programming, and button up the interfaces. The jank is fun but this is a production system and needs to be treated as such. Was my first experience with Q-Sys and I'm loving it. Extremely easy to set up and deploy. Like, a few hours for a perfectly functional system, if not jank under the hood.

It took forever, but it truly is amazing what you can do with it.

    I setup my entire church w/ Dante across two venues, the broadcast suite, multi purpose rooms, and common areas. Anything can go anywhere. On special weekends we’ll split the band up between the two venues and do a combined service. We show the musicians from the other venue on the LED wall on the back of the stage. Everyone loves it. We did setup completely separate infrastructure for it, though. We’re moving almost 128 channels at 96 kHz in both directions. Even the speakers have redundant Dante links to redundant Cisco switches. It was a lot of fun to deploy.

      @ Yes, actual professional audio equipment is very expensive. Leading up to that project I spent over a year working on audio predictions for the PA and making sure we bought what we needed to support our vision and nothing more. We didn’t just buy the most expensive thing. In every aspect of the remodel/AVL update we bought the equipment that had the best track record for reliability and quality so we wouldn’t have to replace it in five years, thus saving money. Sure, we could have bought something like a Behringer console that would have been a lot cheaper than the Digico consoles we have, but it’s always going to cost more in the long run. Dante was always going to be a part of the infrastructure because without it, it would cost several times as much to tie all the different parts of our facilities together. Being a good steward of the funds entrusted to us is one of our highest priorities. Going cheap costs more in the long run. But, more importantly, bad audio is distracting. And, in church, the most important thing is the message and creating an atmosphere that people can worship freely in. And, that is accomplished with good AVL. Also, we purchased this equipment once and it will last us well over a decade. By comparison we spend many times more money on outreach and our community because that happens every single week. I just hope you can understand that spending money to make sure our message is understood IS something really important. I wish we could just spend $40K and have an awesome experience, but that’s just not possible given the space we’re in. Let me know if you have any questions about anything I’ve said here. I appreciate and share your passion for wanting funds to go where they’re most needed. But, maybe things aren’t at black and white as you think they are. I know I’m guilty of thinking people should be doing things a certain way without fully understanding the whole picture at times.

    The other thing I would love to mention is, you can get a networking company to program your switches for Dante, etc.
    That's what we do if we need to run Dante, Internet, Artnet and multiple other protocols across multiple buildings, we hire a company who rents us CISCO switches programmed so we only need to run 1 Ethernet cable in between buildings.

    I was working as a producer when Dante first started being announced.
    We had just invested heavily in ADAT over optical fiber throughout the whole property, so it was not practical for us to adopt, but I followed its development very closely with a tiny bit of jealous resentment and a lot of FOMO.
    If it had come to market a couple months prior, we would have saved a ton of money as we already had wired networking and would have only needed one cat 5 run to the stage.
    The 500ft or so of toslink cables plus the break out boxes in every room, booth, and to the stage outside, plus the Marian PCIe card and the absolute beast PC for the time that was required for it to all run was a significant investment in both terms of money and in terms of time. That and it would randomly drop samples, crack and pop, or just stop working ALL THE FREAKING TIME. I cannot tell you the number of ruined takes, and even a ruined concert recording, all supposedly caused by using “cheap” (still well over $100/ea) cables with plastic cores instead of glass (chosen both for cost and fragility since some runs had bends in them)
    Long story short, Dante would have been a significantly better investment if it had been out at the time.

    the in house venue I work at was built on the ground up with Dante connectivity in mind. multiple meeting rooms with Dante as its backbone, Q-Sys for I/O, and Crestron for UI. our main hall has everything connected to Dante which can be routed to and from anywhere, with 36 boxes worth of line arrays, over 500 channels, and 20 wireless microphones that can be used just about anywhere within our venue.
    in total we have approximately 250 speakers, approximately 700 channels, 140+ stereo inputs, 30+ UI surfaces, and Companion has been a huge help with daily automations and routing presets.
    Dante can be very finicky as Dan mentioned. It is for the most part very stable if the network isn't saturated with "garbage" data. Just because you have 10Gbe speeds, doesn't mean it'll be stable.

      Alot of it is definitely because Crestron surfaces are more "oh wow, name brand", but then again the installer has close ties to Crestron and has let slip they have steep discounts with them. Our infrastructure also uses Crestron's NVX system to push video all over the place, making it easier and robust for an end user to push couple of buttons on a Crestron panel for a Crestron system.
      our auxiliary rooms are Crestron touch panels controlling routing of Crestron video streams and Qsys audio streams. Dante is just the audio protocol that's universally used throughout the building where it's super easy to provide massive 192/192 patched. Q-Sys IO boxes was deemed more stable than the AVIO's that Dan showed in this video as they also report heartbeats, and multiple different diagnostic data.

      unfortunately with alot of system integrators, they don't understand the clocking part of Dante. which was the headache I went through with our SI where they only looked at the 1GBe link speed but not latency. Due to a certain budget constraint, there was a switch with a 10gig fiber link carrying 4 different VLANs over 3 different subnets. in theory it's fine, until packets aren't prioritised. we also have a STAR network where 9 different switches daisy off each other into 4 links to our core switch.

    One additional network feature that is handy for this kind of setup is MAC-based VLANs. Cisco and Juniper can do them and you can also do them with many different vendor switches (including some inexpensive ones like Ubiquiti) by using something like the Open Source PacketFence NAC. It allows the network to dynamically reconfigure the port to a specific VLAN when a known device is plugged in.

    Man, I wish this video was released a year and a half ago. We had to design a PA system for a school, and although I knew some basic things about Dante, I dismissed it because it's not really used for in-building PA systems, and we went with a Chinese company. It's IP based, the speakers are PoE, but the latency makes it unusable for live application, and the speakers are not entirely in sync either. The bigger problem is that different speaker models have different latency, which in our case (indoor and outdoor speakers) was not that bad. The entire system (main controller, 20 speakers, two announcement stations and a pretty much useless FM radio / CD player) ended up costing something like 8000 euros plus later we needed to add an analog stereo PA to the assembly hall for another grand, plus labor fees. Some parts in the controller software are painful (like Chinese software usually is) but it gets the job done.

    Back in the day, distributed audio in a theme park meant having large cages with audio processing cards in them, sending out audio to other parts of the park into amp racks, then doing 70v speakers from those racks. It was complicated, expensive, not super adaptable, and not easily configurable. Dante is muuuuuch better.

Press any of the other buttons and the sound goes to that device. Press HDMI again and the sound comes back, press it again and it turns off sound and hdmi.

    We use Q-SYS and Dante at our company to carry music across the buildings. System is amazing network audio is fantastic and now you can do video over Dante as well. Q-Sys has a great touch panel and a free iPad app unlike most other AV systems. You can totally automate it and make it easy for an end. Q-Sys plug-ins allow you to control almost any kind of AV equipment and if you wanna get technical, you can even script custom controls. Great video for broader audience to learn and hopefully implement more so closed ecosystems are gone from AV world.

    Being in AV integration business for 20+ years it is nice to see your field in the LTT tech knowledge mix. Thumbs up to Dan for the Qsys deployment. But Linus if you think that is complicated ... man you don't want to see what DSP programming and configuration or control programming is on other platforms like Crestron, Extron, etc. Dan chose the least painful option. And, since you went with Dante (solid choice) you can now install also DanteAV capable cameras and you will have a similarly modular video capture system with direct video injection to PC with Dante studio etc. Also now that Dan knows how to QSys you can finally upgrade your home cinema to a worthy control system like all serious home cinemas ;).

    12:38 wrong. UniFi has ALWAYS worked. You just needed to configure the firewall and ports correctly. I have configured UniFi to run WSG, DANTE, QSYS, corporate data, sACN, various VoIP protocols. All simultaneously, all without issue. It’s just a bit easier now.

    • @spartan5280
      @spartan5280 19 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      Firewall has nothing to do with it. Dante and Q-Lan both require specific QOS settings on the switch to ensure that the PTP clocking traffic is handled properly. Up until recently UniFi didn't have a way to configure the QOS settings for a switch. I have experienced this first hand with a small Dante / Q-SYS system (under 10 devices) were the Q-SYS core kept going into processor overrun due to clocking issues. Moved to an Aruba switch with properly configured QOS and all the issues were fixed.
