Network configuration to connect
Transmitter & Receiver Streams
Now the transmitter streams have been
patched to the physical input ports in the
AoIP device, the transmitter and receiver
streams are networked together using a
crosspoint matrix.
The user simply clicks on the crosspoint
to connect audio streams between the
Core and AoIP Devices. The matrix
shows where valid connections can be
made in white.
At the top of the transmitter rows is an
extra row called 'Mute', this is where a
crosspoint is placed when no connection
is required, it applies a muted audio signal
to that stream.
As an example, a transmitter stream from
the device shown as part of Combo 21
is called Mic In -C21 and it has been
connected to a receiver in calrec-system
called Imp RX1. The stream is carrying
8 channels, one of which is a mic input
called Mic 1 connected to a physical input
port.

Patch a Console Input from the Core
Receiver using Assist
Now the whole of the audio input path
has been configured and connected, the
last step in the process is to patch the
console input (in this case a Mic input to
channel path L1-4A) from a core receiver.
This is carried out using the IO patching
facility on the Touchscreen of the Argo
surface or by using the Assist Application
as shown below right.
Summary for Inputs configuration
This guide has covered the whole
setup of the Inputs configuration from
start to finish. In normal operation, all
the interfaces, transmitters, receivers,
connection of the I/O box resources
to the receiver streams and network
connection of transmitters and receivers
will have already been setup by the
engineer, so that the operator just patches
the Input source to the console using the
Assist application or a Touchscreen on the
Argo surface.

AoIP Stream Interfaces
The page shown to the right is arranged
as an X-Y matrix with the transmitters in
rows and the receivers in columns.
The page allows the user to open
(expand) or close (collapse), the stream
displays for each Core or AoIP Device,
so that the matrix is easier to navigate.
There is also a Collapse All/Expand All
option for both transmitters & receivers.
ASSIST>IO PATCHING>PATCH CORE RECEIVER TO MIC INPUT PATH
Adjacent to these, are search entry boxes
which allows the user to quickly find a
stream by name.
Network Presets
In the footer of the Network page are the
Load Preset and Save Preset buttons,
this allows the user to have a library of
connection presets which can quickly be
altered on demand.
