 **Compatibility**\\ **Compatibility**\\
-PIXILAB Player AES67 has been tested with AES67-compatible Dante devices such as Audinate Dante AUIO receivers and Genelec speakers. Any device with modern Audinate controller will be able to receive AES67.  Streams are automatically discovered by Dante Controller software via autodiscovery (SAP/SDP). Ususally a Audinate controller can only do either AES67 or Dante, not both at the same time. +PIXILAB Player AES67 has been tested with AES67-compatible Dante devices such as Audinate Dante AUIO receivers and Genelec speakers.

 **Clock synchronization**\\ **Clock synchronization**\\
-PIXILAB Player uses PTP (IEEE 1588) for clock synchronization. PTP is implemented in software, hence the player does not rely on hardware timestamping in the network adapter. In a Dante AoIP network, the leader clock is normally selected automatically by the devices. All other devices synchronize their clocks to the elected leader. The current leader and synchronization status can be inspected in Dante Controller.+PIXILAB Player uses PTP (IEEE 1588) for clock synchronization.

 ====Getting Started==== ====Getting Started====
 To enable AES67 in PIXILAB Player, the aes67_dest= configuration option must be set in the player configuration file. The aes67_dest= option must be set to a valid multicast address (e.g., 239.69.0.121) that is not in use by any other AES67 transmitter. The player configuration file can be edited from within the Display Spot settings as seen in the screenshot below: To enable AES67 in PIXILAB Player, the aes67_dest= configuration option must be set in the player configuration file.

-**IMPORTANT:** For performance reasons, it is NOT recommended to enable AES67 in the player configuration file while not using the “AES67 Audio over IP” sound output.+
 After selecting the “AES67 Audio over IP” audio output, the AES67 stream from the player will appear in Dante Controller as shown below. After selecting the “AES67 Audio over IP” audio output, the AES67 stream from the player will appear in Dante Controller as shown below.
