AuviTran Network ASIO Streamer 10
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).
The audio samples are transported in constant size network packets between the host PC and the remote device. A lower
I/O count means more audio samples can be transferred in each network frame and that packets can be transmitted less
often. This will slightly increase the total latency but will also reduce the network strain, possibly increasing the system
stability.
4.2 Setting the buffer size
Output latency is the time it takes for the audio signal to be transported from the ASIO application to the physical output.
Input latency is the time it takes for the audio signal to be transported from the physical input to the ASIO application. If the
latency is too high then noticeable delays appear during processing or control. For instance when an output channel fader
position is changed in the application‟s mixer and the latency is high then the output signal strength will not change
immediately.
So, on one hand, a lower latency means a better user experience. On the other hand, a system with a low latency can
experience performance related problems that affects the audio signal quality.
The latency is affected by the size of the audio buffers. The size of the buffers can be changed in the AuviTran ASIO driver
control panel:
As a rule of thumb, if you get clicks, pops or other problems in your output audio signal then you should set a higher buffer
size. When fine tuning your system you might also want to change the I/O count of your remote device.
Notice: this parameter will change the number of inputs and outputs as seen from the ASIO
application but will not change the number of channels in AVS-ESMonitor‟s Net Patch panel.
