Studio Input Expander; Studio Output Expander; Optical Converter; Optical Converter With Mixing - MOTU UltraLite AVB User Manual

STUDIO INPUT EXPANDER

Use the Studio Input Expander preset when you
already have a main system set up, but you want to
add additional inputs. This preset routes all
physical inputs (analog and digital) on the
UltraLite AVB to AVB network streams. You can
connect to the UltraLite AVB's network streams in
the AVB Stream Connections section of the Device
tab of the main MOTU AVB interface (item #19 on
page 13).

STUDIO OUTPUT EXPANDER

Use the Studio Output Expander preset when you
already have a main system set up, but you want to
add additional outputs. This preset routes AVB
network streams to physical outputs on the
UltraLite AVB. You must then choose which
network streams you wish to send to the UltraLite
AVB's outputs. To do so, go to the AVB Stream
Connections section of the Device tab for the
UltraLite AVB (item #19 on page 13).

OPTICAL CONVERTER

Choose the Optical converter preset if you would
like the UltraLite AVB to serve as a multi-channel
digital-to-analog converter connected to another
device equipped with an optical port.
For example, if you have another MOTU interface
equipped with optical, you could connect its
optical output banks to the UltraLite AVB's optical
input banks. The UltraLite AVB then serves as an
8-channel expander that adds the UltraLite AVB's
analog outputs to your setup.

an optical-to-analog expander.

OPTICAL CONVERTER WITH MIXING

The Optical converter with mixing preset does not
route incoming optical audio directly to the
UltraLite AVB's analog outputs. Instead, this preset
routes the incoming optical audio to the mixer. The
mixer then distributes separate mixes to the
UltraLite AVB's analog output pairs.
