Once devices are connected, the next challenge is keeping them in sync. In a Dante system, this is where clocking comes in. Using Precision Time Protocol (PTP), Dante makes sure every audio packet arrives in the right order at the right time. This session explains how PTP works at its core, why synchronization matters, and what the differences are between PTPv1 and PTPv2.
You’ll learn how Dante uses Layer-2 clocking to align devices and explore practical strategies for managing sync in larger or more complex setups. By the end, you’ll understand how clocking underpins Dante’s reliability — and be ready to spot and solve timing issues before they disrupt your audio.
