How many unicast flows are necessary to transport 64 audio channels with a Brooklyn2 device?

To determine the number of unicast flows necessary to transport 64 audio channels with a Brooklyn2 device, it's important to understand how audio channels are transmitted using Dante technology. The Brooklyn2 device is typically capable of handling a certain number of audio channels per unicast flow. Each unicast flow can carry multiple audio channels simultaneously.

In Dante, the standard configuration allows for 8 channels per unicast flow. Therefore, to transport a total of 64 audio channels, you would need to divide the total number of audio channels by the number of channels that can be carried in a single unicast flow.

Here's the calculation:

64 audio channels ÷ 8 channels per flow = 8 unicast flows

Given this understanding, the total requirement would indeed be 8 flows. If the number of unicast flows stated in the answer was indicated as 16, it may reflect a misunderstanding of the capabilities of the Brooklyn2 device in terms of configuring the audio channels or perhaps a miscalculation in the breakdown of flow usage.

In summary, correctly analyzing the channel capacity per flow and multiplying it against the total audio channels needed allows us to accurately conclude that 8 unicast flows are required for transporting 64 audio channels with a Brooklyn2 device
