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.

  • DS-2778: Fire the audio transfer callback unconditionally without requiring a clock leader
  • C++17 and Visual Studio 2022 are now supported and recommended
  • DS-2725: Device can get stuck retrying connection to a cached but unreachable DDM IP address
  • DS-2833: Add configuration option in DAL instance to close activation websocket after successful activation
  • DS-2528: Device is not discovered in Dante Controller after per-application mDNSResponder restarts
  • 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.

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.
