The Octet Operator Survival Guide — Field Manual 7 · Networked Audio: Dante, AES67 & Cross-Domain

Networked audio and AV-over-IP: Dante, AES67, cross-domain behavior

You stop being the tech who restarts the software and reloads the profile while the real fault sits in the clock domain or the channel map. You become the one who gets Dante, AES67 (the open standard that lets audio systems interoperate), and ST 2110 audio living together, without the discovery and PTP-domain fights that take the audio down. (PTP is the shared clock every device on the network syncs to.) You learn audio over IP the way it actually breaks, so you can keep it up. Audio is the unforgiving essence (a single media stream: video, audio, or data, carried on its own). There's no interpolation that saves a dropped sample. You have clean PCM, or you have silence and pops on air. Dependable, not expendable starts with the audio that never drops.
