4.2.4 Audio Video Bridging (AVB) stream configuration This section applies to PWR-DSP1 enabled with the AVB option. Contact DSP4YOU if you did not purchase the AVB option and would like to enable it. While the PWR-DSP1 AVB configuration requires limited setup, the following section will only highlight steps involved in building/deleting an AVB stream. - Page 19 PWR-DSP1 User Manual 2 simple sections: Talkers (source) on the left, Listeners (destination) on the right. Select one Talker (i.e. Source) from the Talker list and drag&drop it in the “Drop Talker Here” box. Repeat the same step for the Listener side (i.e. destination). The dialog box should now look like this: With the talker and listener selected, the next step in building a stream is to select the source channels from the talker channel section.
