Page 9: Welcome
This document is a combined User Guide for the MH10 and MH10f Merger Hubs, which have many features in common. Differences in functionality will be called out as needed. -
Page 10: The Sfp Module
The SFP Module The MH10f Merger Hub ships with two 100 Mbps SFP format fiber optic ports (9 and 10) which allow the user to connect optional single-mode or multi-mode fiber optic transceivers that can transmit A-Net data over longer distances than Cat-5 cabling can provide. -
Page 11: Cat-5E
Refer to the Aviom website for information about the availability of the latest firmware upgrades and feature updates. The MH10 or MH10f must be connected to another Pro64 device with Virtual Data Cable™ capability in order to be updated. 64 P... -
Page 12: About A-Net
By eliminating Ethernet data structures, A-Net creates a superior network, with enhanced audio performance. With A-Net and the Pro64 Series, Aviom continues to break new ground in the design and development of innovative digital audio networking technologies and solutions. -
Page 13: Clocking
Control Data The Pro64 Series has built-in, dedicated bandwidth for 14 channels of non-audio control data through the use of Aviom’s innovative Virtual Data Cables™. These data streams are always available to carry MIDI, RS-232, RS-422, or GPIO (General Purpose I/O), and they never compete with the audio channels for network resources, regardless of the system configuration. -
Page 14: Support For Pro16 Series Products
Mode network, two 64-channel streams are available on the cable and in each module. The configuration of the cables and ports has an impact on the makeup of the network and the distribution of audio signals. The user can direct A-Net data from an input module to a specific port (A, B, or both). -
Page 15: Ac Power
Do not expose the Pro64 device to moisture, rain, or excessively damp environments. AC Line Conditioning Aviom products are digital devices and as such are sensitive to sudden spikes and drops in the AC line voltage. Changes in the line voltage from lightning, power outages, etc. can sometimes damage electronic equipment. -
Page 16: Ventilation
Always be sure to dry the surface of the unit before proceeding with use. When cleaning your Aviom products, never spray cleaners directly onto the product surfaces. Instead, spray a small amount of the cleaning solution onto a clean cloth first. -

Backup DC Power - MH10f For applications where a backup power source is required, the MH10f is equipped with a backup DC power inlet using a locking 4-pin XLR jack. A DC power supply capable of outputting 24VDC ±5% at 1 amp is required. -
Page 24: A-Net Ports
The MH10f can be powered via its internal power supply or an optional external 24 volt supply. Both internal AC and external DC power sources can be connected simultaneously. A-Net Ports Ten EtherCon jacks are provided for A-Net connections on the MH10, numbered 1 to 10. -
Page 25: Manual Mode Configuration Button
Manual Mode is selected at the Control Master, the selected Manual Mode Configuration is automatically applied. The corresponding LED on the front panel of the MH10/MH10f will also light when Manual Mode is active. When multiple MH10/MH10f Merger Hubs are used in a network, note that each can be configured as needed, making complex Manual Mode networks easy to set up. -

C) for routing the digital audio and Virtual Data Cable (VDC) content of the A-Net streams received at its ten ports in Manual Mode. Each MH10 or MH10f Merger Hub in a network can be set individually to one of the three configurations, which is especially powerful when configuring Manual Mode networks. - Page 27 (Ports 1-10) Auto Mode and Manual Mode Configuration A A-Net Receive In Auto Mode, all ports on an MH10/MH10f have the same functionality; (Ports 1-10) they will accept digital audio inputs and VDC data and then transmit a combined data stream with all audio and VDC data.

Configuration B (Merge 1-9) This configuration is well suited for a basic digital snake using only one MH10 Merger Hub, or as a basic snake using two MH10f units when the redundancy and local digital split functionality of Configuration C are not required. - Page 29 mixer. Port 10 is connected to a group of four output modules or Pro64 console interface cards (such as the 6416Y2 card for Yamaha® digital products) at FOH which are connected to the mixing console (marked as “Stage Outputs”).

Page 34: Mh10 Configuration Errors
Data Loops When using multiple MH10/MH10f Merger Hubs in a digital network, never connect a pair of ports (two cables) between MH10/MH10f devices other than ports 9-10 in Manual Mode Configuration C. Doing so will cause an A-Net data loop. Only Manual Mode, and its Configuration C specifically, can use a pair of Cat-5e or fiber cables connected between ports 9 and 10 in a backup/redundant cable setup. -
