The audio service path must be set in Blueprint. Below is an example of how to configure AVB services for PAV-VOM endpoints.
7 Best Practices Once the system is installed and the configuration has been uploaded to the Host, there are a couple best practices to test a Savant IP Video system. Initial Audio and Video setup/testing should be done using the default EDID. The default EDID has support for video resolutions up to 4k 60hz 4:2:0 8-bit.
Appendix C: UPS Recommendations Savant does not recommend any brand or model UPS, however there are a couple of factors that should be considered. It is important that the UPS does not only work during complete power loss but protects devices and their functionality during events like surges and brownouts. It is not uncommon for a residence or small business to see variations in power service that do not result in a complete black-out.
