Tech Tools / Dante Flows

Dante Flow Calculator

Pick a chipset or common piece of gear. Enter channels and destinations. See how many unicast or multicast flows you burn — and get a multicast suggestion when you hit the ceiling.

Use at your own risk. Flow limits and channel packing can vary by firmware, OEM configuration, sample rate, and AES67/ST2110 modes. This tool is a planning aid only. Always verify against the manufacturer documentation and Dante Controller (Device View → Transmit / Receive) before deploying to a show.

Unicast default = 4 channels per flow · Multicast classic = up to 8 (newer devices may allow more)
