Hello Thomas, what about a brief explanation about this is system and its benefit on HW?
Thanks¡

Hello Luis,
Dante was developed for the A/V industry to carry audio over a wired ethernet. No Wi-Fi yet. Dante is an audio-over-ethernet system which allows connecting the Hauptwerk computer to the speaker system via Cat5e/Cat6 cable up to 100 meters long. There is a software Virtual Sound Card which provides ASIO(PC), WDM (Windows audio) & Core Audio (OS-X) compatibility to send the Hauptwerk audio from the Console to the Speaker area over one CAT5e cable. In the speaker area there is a non-blocking, level 2 network switch which sends the appropriate signals to input/output modules (4 channels per module) to produce analog audio for the speakers/amplifiers. In a 100Mbps ethernet network the limit is about 64 channels but in a 1Gbps network the possibility rises to 512 channels.
I keep you all posted on the forum and there will be a running commentary on my blog at Organtechnology.
Thanks for asking.
Thomas
