How many audio channels can be included in a single Dante unicast flow?

In the context of Dante audio networking, a single unicast flow can carry a maximum of 8 audio channels. This means that when you establish a unicast connection between two devices over a Dante network, you can transmit audio from one transmitter to one receiver with the capacity to deliver up to 8 individual audio channels simultaneously.

Understanding the limitation of channel count in a unicast flow is important for network design and capacity planning. Since a single unicast flow is point-to-point, it contrasts with multicast flows, which can reach multiple devices at one time but may have different channel limitations based on the specific configuration and requirements of the system. This knowledge is crucial for engineers and users who are setting up complex audio routing scenarios in live sound, broadcast, or installation environments.

The other choices reflect lower or higher channel counts that don't match the actual capabilities of Dante unicast flows, making 8 the only correct answer for the maximum number of channels possible in a single Dante unicast flow.
