Understanding Dante Flows in Xilica Devices

Every Xilica device has specific Dante capacity limits that affect how it can connect with other devices on your network.

Before audio can be transmitted over a Dante network, channels are packaged into "Flows":

• A single Flow can contain up to four audio channels

• Flows determine how many separate Dante devices your Xilica hardware can connect with

• The number of Flows directly corresponds to how many unique devices can send/receive audio

QR1 (2×2 Flows)

• Can receive audio from two different Dante devices

• Can transmit unicast audio to two different Dante devices

• Total channel capacity: 4×4

Gio (2×2 Flows)

• Can receive audio from two different Dante devices

• Can transmit unicast audio to two different Dante devices

• Total channel capacity: 2×2

Solaro FR1-D (32×32 Flows)

• Can receive audio from 32 different Dante devices

• Can transmit unicast audio to 32 different Dante devices

• Total channel capacity: 64×64

When transmitting channels are configured for multicast instead of unicast, a single Flow can deliver audio to any number of downstream devices supported by your network infrastructure.
