1 CLOCKAUDIO CDT100 The purpose of the Tech Tip is to assist with the implementation of the CLOCKAUDIO CDT100 into Dante enabled Composer based audio systems. The CLOCKAUDIO Dante Transporter (CDT100) is a Dante communication product which combines audio and control transport using network based Dante protocol. By taking advantage of the advanced Dante technology and based on the high performance and pre-configurable hardware platform, this product transfers audio and control signals via Ethernet and is able to achieve extremely high sound quality. Here are the steps to create the CDT100 Dante audio flows within Composer: 1. Make sure all the devices (DSP, xi/o, ect) in the site file are running matching Composer firmware (must be Composer version 4.1 or newer). The CDT100 has a variety of uses including but not limited to boardrooms, conference rooms, video conference rooms and any place else where multiple table microphones and control devices are connected back to the AV equipment cabinet. One of the features of Composer is Third-party Dante Device integration. The CLOCKAUDIO CDT100 is among the list of available Third-party Dante devices.

2 2. Drag a CDT100 from the Toolkit to the site design (Third-party Dante Devices>CLOCKAUDIO). 4. Right-click on the CDT100 and select Configure CLOCKAUDIO Inputs 3. Locate all units in site file. 5. Check the box for Phantom if the microphone on that channel requires phantom power. 6. Double click on DSP and open site design

3 7. From Toolkit drag in a new receive flow for the CDT100 (Dante Transmit and Receive Flows>Receive Flow Modules for Existing Flows>Untitled CDT100 Flow). Here are the steps to create the CDT100 Dante control features within Composer: 1. After adding, locating and creating the Dante audio flow for the CDT100, the next step is to configure the control transport. 2. Drag in a 4-Button Momentary module from the Toolkit (Control Modules>Control Inputs). 8. Wire the system design for the desired signal processing and routing. 9. Close the design view and return to the site view. 10. Push the site file and go on-line.

4 3. Drag in a 4-Button Processor Super-module (Super-module Library>Import super-module). With ARM-C use the CDT100 Processor or CDT100 Processor w/unmute Delay from 3rd Party Control folder. Without ARM-C use the 4-Button Processor from Tools folder. 4. Wire the output of the 4-Button Momentary to the input of the 4-Button Processor. 5. Drag in a Remote Logic Output (Control Modules>Control Outputs).

5 6. Select the CDT100 for Remote Unit. 7. Select the Green LED # Select the Red LED #1. 8. Drag in a Remote Logic Output (Control Modules>Control Outputs). 11. Wire the output of the 4-Button Processor (1 On/G) to the G Remote Logic Output. 12. Wire the output of the 4-Button Processor (1 Off/R) to the R Remote Logic Output. 13. Repeat steps 5-12 for each remaining button. 9. Select the CDT100 for Remote Unit.

6 14. When using ARM-C, select ARM-C for the Logic Output in the Remote Logic Output Properties. 16. Double click and open either a Gain Module or Automixer used in the signal processing and routing of the microphones. 15. Wire the output of the 4-Button Processor (ARM-C) to the Remote Logic Output. 17. Right-click on the Channel 1 Mute button. 18. Select Set Up Remote Control.

7 19. Select Control Signal Assignment for the Remote Control Device 20. Then click Select. 24. The mute button of the Automixer will now be controlled by the state of the red LED of the super-module. When the red LED is active, that channel will be muted. When the red LED is inactive, the channel will be unmuted. Repeat steps for each microphone channel. Assigning the Mute button of each microphone channel to its corresponding x Off/R output of the 4-Button Processor. 21. Expand 4-Button Processor. 22. Select 1 Off/R. 23. Click OK. 25. Double click and open the 4-Button Momentary module.

8 26. Right-click the On button for Button Select Set Up Remote Control. 29. Select Switch #1 for the Select Analog Control. 30. Click OK. 28. Select Remote Mic Switch- CDT100 for the Remote Control Device. 31. Repeat steps for each button of the 4-Button Momentary module. Assigning each On button with its corresponding Mic Switch.

9 32. Double click the 4-Button Processor to open the Super-module control screen 33. Select the desired microphone switch operation (Push to Talk, Push to Mute, Toggle, or Disabled) ARM-C has Radio, Toggle, and Latching controls. 34. Push the site file and go on-line.
