    AES67 The iVAM1-3 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.

    Dante Firmware Upgrades Wohler iVAM1-3 monitors ship with current Brooklyn II firmware as of the 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. Therefore it is strongly recommended that iVAM1-3 and Dante software/ firmware be updated at the same time to ensure compatibility and support of the latest features.

    Merging ZMAN Card is virtually plug and play. The iAM rear panel AoIP jack supports 1Gb/s and 100Mb/s Ethernet devices in Ravenna Audio over IP network configurations. iVAM1-3 channel source selections are made by choosing Input Type ‘AoIP’ in the Configuration-Configure Presets page regardless of which AoIP option is installed.

    The Merging Ravenna card runs specific firmware from Merging and augmented by Wohler for use within the iVAM1-3. The card will not function correctly if the user downloads and installs firmware from any source besides Wohler. The Wohler augmentation includes the ability to support 64 channels.

This allows making of connections with devices locked to different traceable PTP Masters. See RefClk PTP traceable on the Session Sources tab.

    Introduction This appendix discusses ways to use the Application Program Interface (API) to allow third party equipment to remotely access options and settings of the iVAM1-3. It includes specific code examples for commonly used requests. The API uses JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) as its communication language.
