  • Page 20: 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 21: Control Data

    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™ (VDC). 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 22: Support For Pro16 Series Products

    In Auto Mode, there are no connection rules; connect a Cat‑5e cable to either the A or B port and the network does the rest. Auto Mode provides a true audio network with 64 available “Slots” for transporting audio (at 44.1/48kHz). Every audio Slot is available everywhere in the network, with no upstream/ downstream restrictions.

  • Page 23: Pro64 User Interface

    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 physical hardware audio resources and virtual network audio resources.

  • Page 24: Slots And Sample Rate

    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. This provides flexibility without requiring constant re‑ patching. Keep in mind that a Pro64 A‑Net network can only manage a specific number of Slots at a time, and this number varies with the sample rate being used.

  • Page 25: 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 desired network Slot. The 6416Y2 uses DIP switch block SW9 to select a base Slot range, in groups of 16 channels.

  • Page 26: 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 use 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 production...
  • Page 27 By activating a few channels on each of the four input modules, a total of sixteen inputs (Slots) are used, indicated by reverse text. All of these inputs are available throughout the Pro64 network at every output module— analog, digital, Yamaha card, etc. The operator in Studio E can use the sixteen sources from Studios A, B, C, and D simultaneously.

  • Page 28: 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 DIP switches in block SW9 if the 6416Y2 card is set to be the Control Master.
  • Page 29 system with up to 64 sends from the stage and another unique stream of up to 64 returns to the stage. 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.

  • Page 30: 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.

  • Page 31: 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 32: 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. The time for this process will vary based upon the number of Pro64 modules in a system.

  • Page 33: Adding Pro64 Modules To A Network

    Adding Pro64 Modules to a Network When a new device is added to an existing Pro64 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 34: Other Clock Sources

    Yamaha host device and shared throughout the Pro64 network. 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 device’s sample rate will affect available A‑Net Slots. Multiple 6416Y2 cards can be used in a Yamaha host device, but only one can be set to be Control Master, which automatically makes this card the Clock Master.

  • Page 35: Changing The Sample Rate

    The network’s internal master clock is derived from the sample rate currently in use. The sample rate also affects the total number of available A‑Net Slots available for use in the Pro64 network. The Clock Master LED on the 6416Y2 card (labeled CLK) will light automatically when its Yamaha host is powered on if the 6416Y2 card is Control Master and Clock Master for the Pro64 network.

  • Page 36: Auto/Manual Mode Selection

    Auto/Manual Mode Selection The Control Master can be used to set the current network mode to Auto or Manual. As with the system‑wide sample rate, the network mode is also a global setting. Only one Pro64 device can be Control Master in a network. Changes to the network mode must be made from the Control Master.

  • Page 37: Password Protection

    Password Protection A Pro64 network can be password protected from the Control Master only. Once protected, the front‑panel interface on all modules is locked, preventing changes to A‑Net Slots, sample rate, clock source, channel activation, stereo links, and Virtual Data Cable assignments. Hardware switches, such as gain settings on input and output modules, and rear‑panel DIP switches are in the analog domain and are not affected.

  • Page 57: Choose A Control Master

    Choose a Control Master The first step in setting up a Pro64 network is to decide which Pro64 device will be the Control Master. A Pro64 network always has one Control Master and one Clock Master. The Control Master is in charge of network‑wide settings, channel/Slot management, Virtual Data Cable allocation, error messaging, etc.

  • Page 58: Set The Network Mode

    Set The Network Mode Every Pro64 network has three operational modes. Auto Mode allows 64 active total channels at 48kHz, while Manual Mode provides 64x64 channels. Managed Mode requires a computer for control, and is used for firmware updates, etc. The network mode is set on switch block SW9, and is only required to be set when a 6416Y2 card is used as a Control Master.

    clearly defined directional needs such as a 64 x 16 digital snake. Although the Pro64 network can operate at sample rates higher than 96kHz, Yamaha devices cannot. The Pro64 176.4 and 192kHz sample rates are not available when using a 6416Y2 card in a Pro64 network. MY8 and MY16 Modes Switch block SW8 contains the setting for Yamaha’s MY8 and MY16 Modes.

  • Page 60: Choose I/O Settings

    Choose I/O Settings Use switch block SW9 to set the range of Slots (in blocks of 16 channels) that each 6416Y2 card will use when transmitting/receiving audio. DIP switches #7 and #8 are used for the receive Slot range, in groups of 16 channels (1‑16, 17‑32, 33‑48, or 49‑64).

  • Page 61: Activate Channels/Slots

    Remember that the 6416Y2 card functions as both an input and an output module. Set different Pro64 network transmit/receive (Tx/Rx) Slot ranges to avoid channel/Slot allocation conflicts. This is especially important in multi‑ card systems. Activate Channels/Slots Once the Transmit base Slot range has been selected, use DIP switch blocks SW1 and SW2 to activate up to 16 individual Slots in that range, which sends audio from the Yamaha console (or DME) into the Pro64 network.

  • Page 62: Sample Systems

    Sample Systems The following examples show 6416Y2 card settings that can be used as starting points for creating a system. 48 x 16 Digital Snake The examples below show a three‑card digital snake in Auto Mode set to receive Slots 1‑48 from the network and transmit Slots 49‑64 from the console into the Pro64 network.
  • Page 63 If you need less than 16 channels from the Yamaha device to be transmitted into the Pro64 network Slots, simply change the appropriate DIP switches in blocks SW1 and/or SW2.
