Page 19: Chapter 4: Using The Iam-Audio Web Gui
CHAPTER 4: Using the iAM-AUDIO Web GUI The IAM-AUDIO Web GUI allows you to customize the monitor’s configuration to suit your needs. The default presets configure each source’s channels in consecutive fashion. The following setup steps are not necessary to use the iAM- AUDIO in the default configuration. -
Page 20: Dashboard
Close the control panel and reboot the host computer after making an IP address change like this to be sure the change takes effect. Either reconnect to the installed network or continue with this direct connection to access the iAM-AUDIO Web GUI. Make the corresponding address, mask and gateway changes in the iAM-AUDIO Network Setup page. - Page 21 The currently selected preset for local operation is shown full color. Other stored, but not selected, presets have gray backgrounds. The top row shows which sources are used in the preset. The middle row shows which channel numbers are assigned to each control strip. Colors in the bottom row indicate green for active, or red for muted states.

Page 24: Channel Naming
Channel Naming Each channel can be preassigned names in the configuration database. There is a separate set of names for each input type, selected by the upper row check boxes. The default names (labels) can be changed by normal cursor text entry operations in your browser and device. - Page 25 If BNC and Optical sources are installed, the MADI Input Selection switch will appear. Only one can be enabled for each preset, though different presets can use either one. If a second SDI source is installed, the SDI-1/SDI-2 Indicator switch will appear. Only one can be enabled for each preset, though different presets can use either one.

Page 37: Dante Network Setup
AoIP option is installed. The iAM-AUDIO is set up by Wohler to be used as a slave rather than a master within the Dante network. Other devices, or software such as Dante Controller, are expected to be responsible for most device configurations and all audio routing. -
Page 38: What Is In The Iam-Audio For Dante
What is in the iAM-AUDIO for Dante The Audinate Brooklyn II board automatically recognizes Dante networks when installed, will alert other devices of its presence and configuration, and will configure its AoIP address per DHCP or local link protocols. There is no need to set a static address for the iAM-AUDIO Dante port, so no address entry method is provided in the iAM for Dante network setup. -
Page 39: Dante Device Setup
Dante Device Setup The iAM-AUDIO’s default Dante Device Name is “BKLYN-II- …” followed by the last 6 digits of the Dante port MAC address. This name can be changed by the Dante Controller to appear that way on the network, but that will not change the iAM-AUDIO’s unit name appearing on GUI pages and iAM remote metering or discovery pages. -
Page 40: Dante Clock Selection
Only 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz audio sample rates are currently supported by the iAM-AUDIO. The Brooklyn II card would accept a Dante Controller command to operate at other rates, without giving an indication it will not be implemented. Dante Clock Selection While the Brooklyn’s internal clock is highly accurate, the iAM-AUDIO does not have provisions for external sync clocks, such as those that are GPS or media reference (video genlock or audio word clock) based. -
Page 41: Aes67
AES67 The iAM-AUDIO Brooklyn II can be configured for AES67 operation. AES67 operation with Dante is limited to eight or less receive and transmit channels at 48 kHz sample rates. 24 bit linear (L24) encoding and 1 msec packet time are fixed default transmit parameters. - Page 42 Device Lock command at this time. Dante Firmware Upgrades Wohler iAM-AUDIO monitors ship with current Brooklyn II firmware as of option installation date. The version information is found in the Dante Controller Device View-Status page. iAM software/firmware is tested with the latest Dante code release.
- Page 43 Use the Audinate Dante Firmware Update Manager Windows or OS X application to update the Dante firmware over the Dante network. Follow the application’s installation and usage guide plus any applicable technical notes available. Follow instructions in Software Upgrades for iAM-AUDIO updates. Page...
