1 WELCOME AuviTran is proud to introduce you to its latest creation. The AuviTran Network ASIO Streamer gives access to a whole new range of applications for your EtherSound network. Now, every PC can play multichannel high quality audio to any EtherSound device, and it can record too! This great new feature is available on all new AVY16-ES100, AVM500-ES and AVM500-ES/3ports devices.
3 CONFIGURATION 3.1 Configuration of an AVY16-ES100 3.1.1 Activating the ASIO streaming mode The 3rd port of the AVY16-ES100 must be configured to allow ASIO streaming. In the control panel of the AVS16-ES100 click on „Setup‟ and then select „3rd Port + ASIO‟: Selecting another mode for the third port will disable ASIO streaming. 3.1.2 Routing the ASIO streams Activating the ASIO option on the 3rd port will allocate 16 more inputs/outputs that can be routed using AVS-ESMonitor‟s Net Patch panel.
3.2 Configuration of an AVM500-ES The ports C, D and E of an AVM500-ES can each be configured for ASIO streaming, either separately or together. Only the port C of and AVM500-ES/3ports can be configured for ASIO streaming. A physical port cannot be used for both ASIO and EtherSound access: activating the ASIO streaming mode will disable the EtherSound traffic on that port. 3.2.1 Activating the ASIO streaming mode Select the port for which you wish to activate ASIO streaming.
3.2.2 Deactivating the ASIO streaming mode Follow the reverse path to disable ASIO streaming and return the port to its original configuration. 1. 2. 3. In the port‟s control tab, disable the ASIO streaming mode and enable 3rd port access. Disconnect the port from the control PC or the Ethernet switch. Associate the port with the port A. 3.2.3 Routing of the ASIO streams The AVM500-ES gives access to 64 ASIO inputs and 64 ASIO outputs per capable port.
3.4 ASIO Control Panel The product comes with a control panel used to adjust settings. The control panel can be launched either from the system‟s Start menu (AuviTran>Network ASIO Streamer>AVS-AsioControlPanel) or from the audio device settings panel of the ASIO host application. 3.4.1 Selection of the network adapter The AuviTran Network ASIO driver can stream through any of the computer‟s network interfaces. It is strongly recommended that you use a dedicated network adapter for streaming: 3.4.
3.5 ASIO application The AuviTran ASIO driver must be selected in your ASIO application. Please refer to your ASIO applications manual for instructions. When targeting an AVY16-ES100, the ASIO application will be able to record from the channels “AuviTran ASIO In01” through “AuviTran ASIO In16” which are connected to “ASIO Record 1” through “ASIO Record 16” in AVS-ESMonitor‟s Net Patch panel.
4 ADVANCED CONFIGURATION 4.1 Setting the I/O count This is the number of ASIO inputs and outputs that are presented to an ASIO application. Usually this parameter can safely be set to its maximum value which is 16/16 for an AVY16-ES100 and 64/64 for an AVM500-ES. Nevertheless this can be reduced if not all the channels are needed and your system shows performance related problems (see also “Setting the buffer size” below).
5 TROUBLESHOOTING Although we have made every effort to make sure that the AuviTran Network ASIO Streamer will work well on a wide range of PC hosts and network architectures you may still encounter configuration problems that will affect audio record or playback. This section will help you troubleshoot these problems. 5.1 The ASIO Control Panel does not detect the device Make sure no other PC on the network is using the device.
