  • Page 87 On iAM1-MIX8, the AoIP source can be selected through the Source Select option. The iAM1-MIX8 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 88 Up to 8 of the 64 AoIP receive channels can be monitored at once in the iAM1- MIX8. The iAM1-MIX8 transmits up to 8 channels. 1 to 8 are the monitored channel in prefade mode. The remaining four are reserved for future use. Currently they are mapped to channels being monitored on meter 1 to 4 in post-fade mode.
  • Page 89 Dante Device Setup The iAM1-MIX8 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 iAM1-MIX8 unit name appearing on GUI pages and iAM1-MIX8 Remote Metering or Discovery pages.
  • Page 90 Dante Clock Selection While the Brooklyn’s internal clock is highly accurate, the iAM1-MIX8 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...
  • Page 91 AES67 The iAM1-MIX8 Brooklyn II can be configured for AES67 operation. Refer to Figure B-5.
