Audinate allows for third-party applications for a customized Dante experience, purchases being handled directly by Audinate. One such application is Zenso's DMeter, which provides a view of the levels of Dante audio outputs, directly from a Mac or PC. Presets offer rapid switching, and up to 32 channels are supported with no dedicated hardware required.
DMeter displays both instantaneous Peak and average RMS values for metered channels. Permanent and temporary hold values are also shown.
Meter presets can be used for when you change networks, or have more than 32 channels to track.
Output sources across your Dante network are displayed, sorted alphabetically by device and channel. Devices or channels can be assigned a color to personalise and organize the display. Separators and scales allow for further customization of meters.
DMeter is built using Dante Application Library, which means that Dante connectivity is built directly into the application with no need for additional drivers or configuration. DMeter is free to use with 2 Dante channels and may be expanded to a full 32-channel complement via direct purchase from Audinate within the DMeter application, using Dante Ready technology.
Managing Director of Zenso, Joseph Narai, says “We are thrilled to be working closely with Audinate on the first Dante only software product using Dante Ready. DMeter is an elegant yet powerful metering application exclusively for Dante® Networks and will be the first in a suite of Dante Ready apps we are excited to be releasing this year.”
DMeter from Zenso is now immediately for trial or purchase at www.audinate.com/products/dante-enabled/third-party-applications. The 2-channel trial mode is available free of charge upon activation. Cost for adding the full 32-channel complement is $59 USD payable via credit card using Audinate’s Dante Ready payment system.
