CHAPTER 6: RAV.IO Load Preset The device configuration can be stored to a single file (.rps). Restoring the configuration a dialog prompts for selection of individual settings. This enhances flexibility at setup changes when a particular adjustment shall be preserved or just a single adjustment shall be restored. Prodigy.MC Manual - Version 2.
CHAPTER 6: RAV.IO Status - Input Streams The module can subscribe up to 32 streams. The overview displays the basic information of each stream. The input stream name can be set manually (discovery protocol: manually, see page p 90) overriding the SDP’s stream name information. A backup stream can be defined as source after an adjustable timeout. A central active / inactive switch allows to toggle the stream state of all input streams at once.
CHAPTER 6: RAV.IO 01 to 32 Click to activate or deactivate single stream. = stream activated = stream deactivated = stream not active, defined as backup-stream INPUT STREAMS Click to activate or deactivate all streams. = activate all streams = deactivate all streams (requires confirmation) Prodigy.MC Manual - Version 2.
CHAPTER 6: RAV.IO Backup Streams Example: Backup stream (input 3) that will act as source in the audio matrix if the current session (input 1) fails. Switch-over occurs after the defined timeout (1s). Stream 3 is marked accordingly in the status view Input 1 failed and Input 3 becomes active after the timeout. NOT E In case the main input fails the main stream is stopped (IGMP LEAVE) before the backup stream is being activated.

CHAPTER 6: RAV.IO Input Stream Settings Up to 32 input streams can be subscribed. Each stream is organized in a ‘RAVENNA session’ (SDP = Session Description Protocol) that describes the stream parameters (audio channels, audio format, etc.). The stream settings allow to adjust the processing of the received audio data (offset, signal routing). The receiving of stream data starts once the stream has been enabled. The settings displayed vary depending on the selected discovery protocol.
CHAPTER 6: RAV.IO Activate stream Stores parameters and activates or deactivates the receiving of audio data. (Unicast: additionally the negotiation of the connection) Stream input Selects one or both NICs used for stream input. Both NICs means input redundancy. Backup Stream Selects a backup stream that will act as source in the audio matrix if the current session fails. Switch-over occurs after the defined timeout.
CHAPTER 6: RAV.IO Stream Discovery in AoIP environments is a colorful mixture of different mechanisms. To serve a successful stream management RAV.IO provides a bunch of options, not making operation easier but effective. Discovery RTSP (Session) Discovery RTSP (URL) URL URL (Uniform Ressource Locator) of the session of the device that is serving streams. Examples: rtsp://192.168.74.44/by-id/1 or rtsp://PRODIGY-RAV-IO.

CHAPTER 6: RAV.IO Output Stream Settings Up to 32 output streams can be sent to the network. Each stream is organized in a session (SDP = Session Description Protocol) that describes the stream parameters (audio channels, audio format, etc.). Each stream may be labelled with an individual stream name (ASCII) which is useful for enhanced comfort at organizing the setup. The stream settings allow to adjust the processing of the sent audio data (blocks per frame, format, signal routing, ...).
CHAPTER 6: RAV.IO * Activate stream Stores parameters and activates or deactivates the receiving of audio data. (Unicast: additionally the negotiation of the connection) Stream Output Selects one or both NICs used for stream output. Both NICs means output redundancy.

CHAPTER 6: RAV.IO Advanced - PTP Settings * PTP Input Selects one or both network ports used for PTP input. Both ports means input redundancy. * IP Mode Multicast = Hybrid = Unicast = Sync messages and delay request are sent as multicast message to every node within the network. Sync messages are sent as multicast, delay requests are sent as unicast messages directly to the Grandmaster or Boundary Clock.
CHAPTER 6: RAV.IO * Mode auto = slave only = preferred master = master only = PTP-clock master / slave configuration is auto negotiated between devices in the network. Module’s master / slave state may change automatically. PTP-clock slave configuration is preferred. Module clocks to another device in the network PTP-clock master configuration is preferred. Module acts as network grandmaster. Priority values are adjusted automatically to ensure Grandmaster status.

CHAPTER 7: DANTE.IO CHAPTER 7: DANTE.IO Introduction DANTE.IO is an audio network module for Dante / AES67. All functions of the device are managed via the Dante Controller application. To control the functions of the host device connect your computer with the management network port (MGMT) and use the globcon application. Dante Controller To control a Dante network the application 'Dante Controller' needs to run on a computer that is connected to the audio network.
CHAPTER 7: DANTE.IO Network View The 'Network View' is organised in several tabs. All detected Dante devices are shown on a list. The DANTE.IO is delivered with the network interface set to DHCP as a default. Dante Controller can be used to discover the device on the network and change the IP configuration if necessary - see “Network Config” on page 120. Clock Status The tab ‘Clock Status’ informs about the clock settings of each connected device and allows to modify them.
CHAPTER 7: DANTE.IO Routing The audio signal routing is accessible in the tab 'Routing' 'Dante Receivers' in the vertical column displays the receiving devices (= destinations). 'Dante Transmitters' in the horizontal row displays the transmitting devices (= sources). The channel list can be expanded or collapsed for each device. Connections are made by clicking into the matrix.
CHAPTER 7: DANTE.IO Device View The 'Device View' is also organised in to several tabs. It can be opened by double-clicking on to a device name in the 'Network View'.
