The Model 5401A Dante Leader Clock and the Model 5402 Dante Leader Clock with GNSS Synchronization were primarily designed for use in applications that utilize devices running “native” Dante. To support the timing needs of these devices Precision Time Protocol Version 1 (IEEE-1588-2002 or “PTP v1”) was implemented. The units’ PTP v1 implementation functions very well, including in redundant Dante applications. (Independent Ethernet networks connected to the Primary and Secondary Ethernet ports on the back panel of the Model 5401A and Model 5402 units.) Even in large installations with literally hundreds of Dante devices,

ST 2110
Dante® audio-over-Ethernet networking technology can support the requirements of the AES67 and SMPTE® ST 2110 technical standards. Studio Technologies offers a number of Dante-enabled products, all of which are capable of having their AES67 and/or ST 2110 capability enabled. This is performed using the Dante Controller software application.
For compatibility with a number important AES67 and ST 2110 technical parameters, Dante was required to implement several DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point or DiffServ) tag values.

Last month we took final prototypes of our new Model 5512 Audio Interface and Model 5518 Mic/Line Interface units for a “real-world test drive” at a well-regarded music recording studio in Chicago. The ‘5512 and ‘5518 support SMPTE ST 2110 and utilize our latest analog and digital circuit designs. These units are hardware “cousins” with the new Dante-enabled Model 5412 Audio Interface and Model 5418 Mic/Line Interface. We knew that the performance specifications of all the units as measured by our test equipment was very good.

The Model 5401 Dante Master Clock was initially designed for use in applications that utilized devices running “native” Dante. To support the master timing needs of these devices Precision Time Protocol Version 1 (IEEE-1588-2002 or “PTP v1”) was implemented. The unit’s PTP v1 implementation functions very well, including in redundant Dante applications. (Independent Ethernet networks connected to the Primary and Secondary Ethernet ports on the back panel of the Model 5401.) Even in large installations with literally hundreds of Dante devices,

This document from Lawo regarding setting Ethernet switch parameters for optimizing audio-over-IP operation is really terrific:
https://www.lawo.com/support/know-how/ip-networking-guide/specific-switch-configurations.html
We implemented the suggested settings on an SG300 and it allowed much-improved performance when testing our new ST 2110-compliant products. We had been told that only “PTP aware” Ethernet switches were acceptable for use with ST 2110-10, but our simple test showed that maybe this is not the case. Once the changes were made the occasional “clicks”

We recently returned from a most-interesting week in Germany, attending the pre-staging event for the IBC 2018 IP Showcase. We took prototype versions of our new ST 2110-compliant products, the Model 5512 Audio Interface and Model 5518 Mic/Line Interface. The goal was to check and see if they would operate successfully with other 2110-compliant equipment as supplied by manufacturers from literally around the world. After initial testing and some software enhancements (can you say “bug fixes”!) things worked out well.

Studio Technologies is making good progress with our upcoming set of products that support the new ST 2110 standards. First to be ready will be the line-level analog to/from ST 2110 interfaces. The Model 5512-01 will have 8-in/8-out. The Model 5512-02 will have 16-in/16-out. (See https://studio-tech.com/products/model-5512-audio-interface/ for photos of actual unit.) We’re targeting next month (July 2018) for first field trials.
Development is also going well on the Model 5518 which will have 8 mic/line inputs (XLR3F connectors on the front panel) and 8 line-level analog outputs (DB-25F on the back panel).
