Dante Application Library v1.2.2.2 (macOS)

Release Date: 14th of March 2023

Dante Application Library (“DAL”) is a software package that allows third-party manufacturers to incorporate Dante audio networking technology directly into their own host applications running on Windows and macOS based computers.

Supported Platforms

  • macOS 13 – Ventura
  • macOS 12 – Monterey
  • macOS 11 – Big Sur

Documentation

This evaluation release will be delivered along with a time-limited Access Token (access_token.c), which is necessary to run the DAL library. This source file contains a cryptographic string, unique to your company and is used to provide proof of access to the Dante Application Library. The access token has an expiry time built in, and visible in the source file. After this time, you will no longer be able to use the DAL evaluation release. At this time we encourage you to contact your Audinate sales representative to discuss further access.

Please provide feedback regarding your evaluation of DAL via email with [email protected] or your sales representative.

  • No new features (maintenance release)
  • DS-1050: Setting a device-wide non-PCM24 encoding results in a non-compliant Dante device
  • DS-974: The event functions getLatePacketCount and getNonSequentialPacketCount were not reporting correctly
  • DS-1071: DAL manufacturer ID and model ID information was not available to Dante API browsing functions
  • DS-971: Fixed warnings in example code
  • DS-1112: DAL would not run correctly on macOS version 13.1 and higher
  • DS-521: If a Dante Via device is running on the same computer system as the DAL device and there are no other hardware devices to act as clock leader, the DAL device will not be able to obtain clock sync from the local Dante Via clock leader. Workaround: Add a Dante hardware device to the network, or run Dante Via on another PC system.
  • DS-1119: If a model ID is used that begins with a null / 0 character, it will not be accessible in Dante API. Workaround: Use a model ID that does not begin with a null / 0 character.

Audinate’s Support for Inclusive Language

To our customers: some of the terminology used in Dante products has been changed to align with modern usage. Specifically, areas related to Dante clocking now refer to “Primary Leader Clock”, “Leader Clocks” and “Follower Clocks” to describe the functions of each role more clearly.
