The USB system requires its own IP Address that is different and independent from the IP Address of the ZyPer4K itself. Customers that are using a DHCP server to generate IP Addresses must ensure the pool of available IP Addresses accounts for any ZyPer4K USB devices in the system.
The Dante Transmitter requires its own IP Address that is different and independent from the IP Address of the ZyPer4K itself. Customers that are using a DHCP server to generate IP Addresses must ensure the pool of available IP Addresses accounts for any ZyPer4K decoders with Dante Transmitters in the system.
It is expected that the user is familiar with Dante and the use of Dante networks. It is beyond the scope of this document to provide Dante training. The Dante Transmitter found in the ZyPer4K decoder will automatically insert the Down-mix Audio stream that it is receiving onto the Dante Network. Refer to the ZyPer Management Platform User Guide for details on streaming audio/video from an encoder to a decoder.
