How can you determine the number of transmit flows currently in use?

Accessing the Tx tab in Dante Controller is the most effective way to determine the number of transmit flows currently in use. The Dante Controller software provides a clear and user-friendly interface that allows network managers and audio engineers to visualize and manage audio data flows within the Dante network.

Within the Tx (Transmit) tab, users can see detailed information about all the active audio streams that are being sent from their devices. This includes specific details about each flow, such as source and destination, number of channels, and the status of the flow, making it an essential tool for monitoring and troubleshooting.

This method is preferred because it gives real-time insights into the network's audio routing, which can be crucial for maintaining optimal performance and ensuring that audio flows are functioning correctly. A dedicated monitoring system could also provide insights, but it may not be as direct or readily accessible as the Dante Controller for immediate flow monitoring. Reviewing switch log files would typically require deeper technical expertise and may not present flow information in such a straightforward manner. Performing a system reboot would certainly reset the current state of the network, but it wouldn't provide the needed information about the current active flows.
