14.2.6.3 “Switch OUT” configuration
This mode indicates that AVY16-ES100 behaves as an AVRed-ES100 “Switch OUT”, i.e.
that the 3
rd
port of the card is an EtherSound “OUT” port, and ports A and B are
redundant “IN” ports.
The two redundant links have to receive the same EtherSound stream. They have to be
plugged to a standard Ethernet switch. This configuration is mainly used where
network does not need a bidirectional link (e.g. recording room, speakers, power
amplifiers…).

FOH Monitor console and speakers
In this example, monitor console does not send back audio channels to the Front of
House, mix is only sent to amplifiers. Thanks to this configuration, AVY16-ES100 is set in
“Switch OUT” mode, a standard Ethernet switch is used to duplicate links, replacing an
AVRed-ES100 or an AVY16-ES100. Link between FOH and Stage is still secured by the
dual redundant paths.
As soon as one link becomes faulty or has a quality drop, card will automatically switch to
the other link, assuming its quality is better than the defective link.
Thanks to the ultra-low latency fault detection, no audio default can be heard in case of
broken or poor quality link.
