The best choice is a stable, always present clock source locked to house sync. Second to that, use the selected input as the clock. Generally speaking, Internal is not the best choice.
  • Page 71 7. Speaker Assign: Speaker assignments are made automatically when a cluster is set. However, it can be that in an actual signal, the channel assignments may be different than what the automatic assignment assumes. A speaker assignment adjustment is provided for each channel, should you need to override the automatic settings.

Use a Dante Controller or Aneman/Zman web interface to route the remaining pairs appropriately. 9. HDMI/Pair-1: Selected inputs will be mixed to the left and right channels and played through first pair of the HDMI Output.

  • Page 75: Typical Questions Regarding Output Routing

    2. Solo/Mute: This setting determines whether or not the outputs are affected by solos and mutes. The Speaker/Headphone output is always affected by solos and mutes. Note also, that all outputs in Speaker Mix mode also are affected by solos and mutes. 3.

  • Page 76: What Is The Difference Between Global Output Routing And Output Routing In Presets

    What is the difference between Global Output Routing and Output Routing in Presets? Both are used to configure the unit outputs. Global Output Routing is applied by default when you select a source or when creating presets and when you don’t change the Output Routing unique to any Preset.

  • Page 77: How Do I Route Only Specific Monitored Channels To The Analog Xlr Outputs

    The setting shown above determines that outputs will follow the Audio Meter screen solos & mutes for the XLR outputs because the checkbox is checked. It is not checked for the AES outputs, so they will not be affected by the solo & mute choices.

    Reboot System page is shown in Figure 4-32. This function is normally only used upon request from Wohler Technical Service to troubleshoot or correct an issue. The Reboot System function should be used with a bit of caution. It puts the iVAM1-SUM out of service for several minutes while it is rebooting, and this may unexpectedly interfere with the use of the product by the remote operator.

    On iVAM1-SUM, the AoIP source can be selected through the Source Select option. The iVAM1-SUM 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 104 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.

  • Page 105: Dante Tm Device Setup

    Dante Device Setup The iAM1-SUM default Dante Device Name is “Wohler- …” followed by the last 6 digits of the Dante port MAC address, as shown in Figure B-2. This name can be changed by the Dante Controller to appear that way on the network, but that will not change the iVAM1-SUM unit name appearing on GUI pages and iVAM1-SUM Remote Metering or Discovery pages.

  • Page 106: Dante Clock Selection

    Other changes such as Latency settings can be made by the Dante Controller through the Device View menus. Some changes may require remote rebooting of the Brooklyn II card to take effect, temporarily interrupting audio and publishing the new information to the network. Important: Only 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz audio sample rates are currently supported by the iVAM-SUM.

  • Page 107: Aes67

    AES67 The iVAM1-SUM Brooklyn II can be configured for AES67 operation. Refer to Figure B-5. 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.

    APPENDIX D: Ravenna (ZMAN) Setup Introduction Installing the iVAM1-SUM into an existing and functioning Ravenna network using the 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.

  • Page 112: Configuring The Aoip Merging Option Card

    The Merging Ravenna card runs specific firmware from Merging and augmented by Wohler for use within the iVAM1-SUM. 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.

    8. Payload type: RTP Payload type - This value should not be modified. 9. Codec: The possible bit rate values are L24, L16, DSD64, DSD64_32, DSD128, DSD128_32, and DSD256. Note that these values are sampling rate dependent. 10.Frame size (samples): This the frame size of the current source. 11.DSCP: The audio DSCP should be set to 34 for RTP AES67 or 46 for RTP Ravenna.

  • Page 119: Operation

    Operation: Connecting Remote Source to Local Sink This instruction assumes another Ravenna device is active on the network and sourcing a multicast stream. The Merging Configuration section for Session Sink controls how to configure the card to receive the stream and provide it to the IAM interface for display on meters and speakers, etc.
  • Page 120 Figure D-7: Session Sinks Tab To avoid confusion if monitoring more than one Flow, especially if the various source Flows have overlapping channel numbers, use the matrix to direct Flows to higher channel ranges. For example, for monitoring 2 SDI sources (four 8 channel Flows), assign two flows to 1-8 and 9-16 and the next SDI signal to 17-24 and 25- 32.
