will avoid the first mono or stereo call unloading the Peer-to-Peer + IFB program at the
studio and loading a mono or stereo peer-to-peer program, which would cause the second
connection to fail.
Configuring Mono or Stereo Peer-to-Peer + IFB Programs
In most situations the studio codec will answer incoming audio stream connections from the remote
site. The following procedure outlines configuration of an answering program for the studio codec.
Important Notes: Before you commence program configuration please note:
·
The auxiliary input is used by default for the IFB communications channel in Merlin
codecs. In Merlin PLUS codecs the auxiliary input and XLR input 3 are mixed
together by default for 1 x Mono/Stereo + IFB programs.
·
You cannot edit a program when it is currently loaded in the codec.
·
You can
program cannot be unloaded by a codec dialing in with a different type of program.
·
If the codec at the studio will receive both mono and stereo peer-to-peer + IFB calls
from different remote sites at different times, we recommend you configure and load a 1
x Stereo Peer-to-Peer + IFB answering program and
studio. This will accept both mono and stereo audio stream connections. If a codec
with a Mono Peer-to-Peer + IFB program calls the studio, the incoming mono stream
will be mixed to both the left and right outputs at the studio.
·
Some drop-down menus and settings may be greyed out intentionally depending on
features available and the transport selected (e.g. IP or ISDN).
·
It is possible to save a program at several points throughout the program wizard and
use default settings to save configuration time.
·
Failover and SmartStream PLUS redundant streaming are not available with SIP or
sessionless IP connections.
·
POTS is not supported for stereo audio stream connections.
