    On iVAM2-12G, the AoIP source can be selected through the Source Select option. The iVAM2-12G is set up at the Wohler factory to be used as a slave rather than a master within the Dante network. Other devices or software, such as a Dante Controller, are expected to be responsible for most device configurations and all audio routing.
  • Page 103 Card ID will be shown in red, e.g. Wohler-xxxxxx where xxxxxx is the last 6 hex digits of the card MAC address as shown in B-1. This usually indicates that the IP address of the card is not in the same subnet as the Dante Controller host.

    Dante Clock Selection While the Brooklyn’s internal clock is highly accurate, the iVAM2-12G does not have provisions for external sync clocks, such as those that are GPS or media reference (video genlock or audio word clock) based. So it is generally not the best candidate to be the PTP Master Clock (commonly called the “grandfather clock”) for the...
