What is the Digigram ALP-DANTE-LE?

A cost-effective Dante PCIe sound card (Light Edition) with 64 playback and 64 recording channels, designed for broadcast, public safety, medical, transportation and industry markets. Built on the same reliable architecture as all ALP-X cards.

How many Dante channels does the ALP-DANTE-LE support?

64×64 channels at 44.1/48 kHz, 32×32 at 88.2/96 kHz, and 16×16 at 176.4/192 kHz. Maximum 32 input and 32 output streams.

What are the two Ethernet port modes?

The 2× Gbps Ethernet ports can be used in redundancy mode (Primary and Secondary) or in switching mode.

Does the ALP-DANTE-LE support AES67?

Yes. The ALP-DANTE-LE supports both AES67 and SMPTE ST2110-30 AoIP standards.

What PCIe slot does the ALP-DANTE-LE require?

It uses a PCIe x1 lane and is compatible with x2, x4, x8 and x16 slots. Low profile form factor with an additional full-height bracket provided for installation in standard height slots.

Does the ALP-DANTE-LE work with Linux?

Yes — with ALSA drivers on Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 11, Debian 12 and RHEL 9. Source code is available for compiling drivers for other Linux distributions, and an optional service is available for generating a driver for specific Linux environments.

How is the ALP-DANTE-LE managed?

Via Audinate Dante Controller and Dante Domain Manager. Firmware updates are available via the AVS-Monitor application from the Auvitran website.
