Adapter Survey
Ethernet
Adapters may seem all the same, but they can operate very differently under the hood. This survey can be useful for troubleshooing tricky AV problems.
At The Voxel, we've experienced Dante compatibility issues with certain adapters on Intel Macs and certain HDMI adapters with Datapath hardware. In those situations, it's useful to troubleshoot with a different adapter with a wholey different chipset.
