Source Configuration - Mixengine - Axia element v.2.0 Installation & User Manual

There are two possible settings:
• Asynchronous – this is the usual setting and en-
ables sample rate conversion. Any valid AES
source can be used in this mode without con-
cerns about dropouts due to mismatched clocks.
• Synchronous – This setting may be used for
standalone AES nodes but is not suitable for a
standalone PowerStation since the PowerStation
cannot sync to an external AES clock.

Source Configuration - MixEngine

The PowerStation includes an integrated Studio Mix
Engine. This section of the PowerStation creates all of
the Program Bus sources that are delivered to the net-
work as well as those sources associated with monitor
and headphone feeds. Figure 2-19 shows the configura-
tion web page for this section. To get to this page, select
Mix Engine - Prog and Monitor Out.
Channel Name and Number
This section is where you specify the Livewire chan-
nel number. You will observe that the names are pre-
determined and cannot be changed. As discussed in the
previous section, the channel number can be any number
from 1 to 32,766. You may wish to follow the convention
of using the last octet as a "base" for your Livewire chan-
nel numbers. For example, if the Element IP address is
192.168.0.100, you may use 10001 through 10018 for the
Livewire channel assignments of the Program and Moni-
tor channels. The numbering convention easily extends
to the VMIX and VMODE sections that are discussed
later in Chapter 7: Virtual Mixer (VMIX).

The Mode function here is identical to that described
in the I/O section.
