About Dante ■ Relationship between latency and hop count The [Latency] setting for the Dante audio network depends on the hop count in that network. The hop count is the number of switches between the farthest connections of Dante devices. A switch is built into not only each switching hub but also each DME7 and I/O device. The hop count provides a guideline for specifying the [Latency] setting. Typical [Latency] settings for various hop counts are shown below. Hop count Up to 3 Up to 5 Up to 10 Up to 20 Latency (ms) 0.25 0.5 1.0 2.0 21 or more 5.0 (or if problems occur) 18 | DME7 Reference Manual

Relationship between latency and hop count
The [Latency] setting for the Dante audio network depends on the hop count in that network.
The hop count is the number of switches between the farthest connections of Dante devices. A switch is built
into not only each switching hub but also each DME7 and I/O device. The hop count provides a guideline for
specifying the [Latency] setting.
Typical [Latency] settings for various hop counts are shown below.
