What will be the audio playout latency of a receiving device that has a latency setting of 1ms, when subscribed to a transmitting device set at 2ms?

The audio playout latency for a receiving device is influenced by the latency settings of both the transmitting and receiving devices. In this scenario, the receiving device has a latency setting of 1 millisecond, while the transmitting device is set at 2 milliseconds.

In Dante networks, the receiving device will experience audio playout latency that reflects the latency of the transmitting device plus any additional latency from the receiving device itself. Therefore, the total latency will be the sum of the two settings.

In this case, adding the 1 millisecond from the receiving device to the 2 milliseconds from the transmitting device results in a total audio playout latency of 3 milliseconds.

It's crucial to understand that while the receiving device can be set to a lower latency, it will still adopt the higher latency from the transmitting device, in this case, 2 milliseconds, and then add its own latency setting. This results in a final playout latency of 3 milliseconds, which would be the correct calculation for this scenario.
