Frequently Asked Questions
The PCIeNX acts as a Dante clock source, allowing it to synchronize with other Dante devices on the network, ensuring accurate timing across your entire system.
While it supports the principles of ST 2110, full compliance requires careful network configuration and may involve additional hardware or software for full functionality.
Yes, it functions as a traditional audio interface via ASIO/WDM/CoreAudio, but you’ll be missing out on its primary strength – the Dante network integration.
