  • Page 14: Cleaning

    Always be sure to dry the surface of the unit before proceeding with use. When cleaning your Aviom products, never spray cleaners directly onto the product surfaces. Instead, spray a small amount of the cleaning solution onto a clean cloth first.

  • Page 15: About A-Net

    By eliminating Ethernet data structures, A-Net creates a superior network, with enhanced audio performance. With A-Net and the Pro64 Series, Aviom continues to break new ground in the design and development of innovative digital audio networking technologies and solutions.

  • Page 16: Clocking

    Control Data The Pro64 Series has built-in, dedicated bandwidth for 14 channels of non-audio control data through the use of Aviom’s innovative Virtual Data Cables™. These data streams are always available to carry MIDI, RS-232, RS-422, or GPIO (General Purpose I/O), and they never compete with the audio channels for network resources, regardless of the system configuration.

  • Page 17: Support For Pro16 Series Products

    Mode network, two 64-channel streams are available on the cable and in each module. The configuration of the cables and ports has an impact on the makeup of the network and the distribution of audio signals. The user can direct A-Net data from an input module to a specific port (A, B, or both).

  • Page 18: Pro64 User Interface

    The actual number of available Slots is determined by the current sample rate. Slots versus Channels You might be wondering why Aviom chose to refer to the audio I/O resources in the Pro64 Series products as ‘’Slots.” Why not just call them “channels”? We did this to avoid confusion between references to hardware audio resources and network audio resources.

  • Page 19: Slots And Sample Rate

    network as needed. (The 6416Y2 card uses DIP switches.) It is these activated hardware resources that are being referred to as “Slots.” Pro64 audio networks can potentially have a greater number of audio channels and hardware I/O devices connected than the network can make use of at one time.

  • Page 20: A-Net Base Slot

    A-Net Base Slot Since the capacity of the Pro64 network could be as high as 64 A-Net Slots, Pro64 hardware I/O devices need a way of routing a selected hardware channel to a selected network Slot. The 6416Y2 uses a block of DIP switch (referred to as SW9) to select a base Slot range, in groups of 16 channels.

  • Page 21: A-Net Slot Example

    A-Net Slot Example The following example shows the power of the Pro64 network and the A-Net Slots concept. The range of A-Net Slots used in the example has been limited to the group from 1 to 16 for simplicity. This graphic represents a Pro64 product set to Slot range 1. Slot Channel 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 One 16-channel input module is placed in each of four rooms of a...
  • Page 22 By activating a group of channels on each of the four input modules, a total of sixteen inputs are used (indicated by reverse text). All of these inputs are available on the network at every output module. The operator in Studio E can use the sixteen inputs from Studios A, B, C, and D simultaneously.

  • Page 23: Network Modes

    Network Modes A Pro64 audio network can be set to operate in one of two modes, Auto or Manual. The network mode can be selected on the front panel of the I/O device designated as the system’s Control Master or from the 6416Y2 DIP switches in block SW9.
  • Page 24 Manual Mode operation removes the restrictions of unique channel-to- Slot-range relationships found in Auto Mode. Slots can be overwritten, allowing the user to replace channels from one part of the network with new data. This means that, while no more than 128 channels can be in the network at a particular location, there is no practical limit to the total number of audio channels in the system.

  • Page 25: Control Master

    Control Master In every Pro64 network, one device will always be designated as the Control Master, the device that manages all A-Net resources for the network. The Control Master can be any I/O module in the network, and can be assigned or changed by the user as needed. Only one device can be assigned as Control Master in a Pro64 network at a time;...

  • Page 26: Setting Control Master Status

    Only one device in a Pro64 network can be designated as the Control Master. Here, a Pro64 I/O module is shown. Setting Control Master Status Setting the 6416Y2 to be the network Control Master is done using the DIP switches found on the front panel. The Control Master is set with switch 12, found in the same DIP switch block as the Stereo Link section of the interface.

  • Page 27: Control Master Functions

    Control Master Functions This section describes the individual functions of the Control Master device in a Pro64 network. Enumeration When the Control Master is powered on, its first job is to identify and count all connected A-Net modules in the network in a process called enumeration.

  • Page 28: Adding Pro64 Modules To A Network

    Adding Pro64 Modules to a Network When a new Pro64 device is added to an existing network, the new device makes a request to the Control Master for inclusion in the network. During this time, the new module’s blue A-Net LED will flash. When the new module has been enumerated by the Control Master, its blue A-Net LED will then light solidly to indicate that the Control Master has granted the module access to the network.

  • Page 29: Clock Errors

    must also be the network’s Control Master to have control over clock functions. When a 6416Y2 card is the Clock Master, its clock is derived from the Yamaha host device. (Multiple 6416Y2 cards can be used in a Yamaha host device, but only one can be set to be Control Master and Clock Master.) External clock sources on digital modules can include: •...

  • Page 30: Changing The Sample Rate

    device. That clock reference can be the Yamaha host’s internal clock or an external clock to which the Yamaha host device is synced. Changes to the host’s sample rate will affect available A-Net Slots. The Sample Rate section of a rack-mounted hardware I/O module’s front-panel interface (e.g., 6416i Input Module) includes a group of LED indicators for displaying the current network sample rate.

  • Page 31: Changing The Network Mode

    that changes to the Pro64 network mode require the host Yamaha device to be powered down so that the 6416Y2 card can be removed. Changing the Network Mode To change the network mode from a 6416Y2 card that is the network Control Master, move switch 1 in Switch Block SW9 to the desired position, down for Auto Mode, or up for Manual Mode.
  • Page 32 switches, such as gain settings on input and output modules, and rear-panel DIP switches are in the analog domain and are not affected. Password protection remains in force even when a system is power cycled. All Pro64 hardware I/O devices except console interface cards ship with a default password.

  • Page 33: Installing The 6416Y2 Card

    Installing the 6416Y2 Card The 6416Y2 card can be used in any MY (mini-YGDAI) expansion slot in a Yamaha digital mixing console or compatible digital product (see the list on page 3). The specific number of available expansion slots varies with each model.

  • Page 34: Installing Multiple 6416Y2 Cards

    • Connect the 6416Y2 to a Pro64 network. Once the Aviom expansion card has had its DIP switches configured and is installed in the Yamaha host device, all audio routing to/from the 6416Y2 A-Net Interface Card is done from within the Yamaha device’s user interface.

    Stereo Link DIP Switches Eight Stereo Link DIP switches are provided allowing odd-even channels to be paired for use with Aviom Pro16 personal monitor products such as the A-16II and A-16R Personal Mixers. (This application requires the ASI A-Net Systems Interface.) Each DIP switch controls a pair of channels.

  • Page 38: A-Net Ports

    A-Net Ports Two Pro64 A-Net ports are provided on the 6416Y2 card, labeled A and B. Each port has a Neutrik® EtherCon® connector and can support standard RJ45 cables or those fitted with the heavy-duty EtherCon plug. Multiple 6416Y2 cards can be used in compatible Yamaha devices by linking them together via the A-Net ports with a short Cat-5e jumper cable.

  • Page 39: Clock (Clk) Led

    Clock (CLK) LED The Clock (CLK) LED will light yellow when the 6416Y2 card is set to be the Pro64 network’s Control Master, which automatically sets the card to be the network Clock Master. When the 6416Y2 card functions as the network Clock Master, its clock is derived from the Yamaha host device.

    Circuit Board DIP Switches The 6416Y2 A-Net Interface Card is configured using DIP switches. Each block of switches is labeled on the circuit board with the abbreviation “SW” followed by a number.
