Stream Subscription: Status Messages
Whenever you subscribe to a stream, the fader strip label display reports back on the status of the connection.
Under normal circumstances, the expected sequence of messages is as follows:
"Mute"
-> select a stream and press
Take
->
("Pending")
->
"Tuning"
->
("Unstable")
->
"<Stream-Name>"
Note that messages shown in () may or may not appear. The table below explains the meaning of each
message in more detail.
Status Message
Meaning
"Mute"
No stream is connected to the source's RAVENNA input.
ACTION
: select a stream via the rotary control and press
TAKE
.
("Pending")
Appears IF the connected stream is not yet available. In this instance, the console will wait for the
stream announcement to appear on the network, and then automatically initiate the subscription
process.
Typically, this message does not appear when selecting a stream from a RAVENNA source pool,
as the list presented to the operator is constantly updated (in the background).
The message can appear if the source has been configured using a default subscription, if a
stream is connected via VSM, or following a warmstart while restoring the last known connection.
"Tuning"
Appears while the console measures the streaming quality, and sets its stream receiving
parameters to ensure correct audio playback.
During the tuning cycle the audio input is muted, and then unmuted once the task is complete.
If a stream is being received for the first time, then the tuning process can take a couple of
seconds. This initial tuning information is stored in a permanent memory. It is then used whenever
you select the same stream, thereby speeding up all subsequent connections.
("Unstable")
Appears IF the stream jitter is extremely high and cannot be dealt with; IF the stream stops for
some reason; or IF the PTP clock information is missing. You can open the RAVENNA pages (in
the Web UI) to view additional information on specifics.
In this instance, the console will attempt to heal itself, and mute the audio input until the stream
reaches stable conditions.
Typically, it is very rare to see this message during the subscription phase.
If an unstable stream is due to a PTP problem, then console will start a new “Tuning” cycle before
the audio input is unmuted.
"<Stream-Name>"
Once the subscription is successful, the name of the connected stream is displayed.
On rare occasions, the following error messages may also appear:
Status Message
Meaning
"PoolErr"
Appears IF there is a problem connecting to the stream.
This can occur if the selected stream is not available on the network any longer, but is still
presented in the console's list of streams. Since this list is updated cyclically, the problem should
not persist.
If you see this error, please repeat the subscription process. If the issue persists, check your
network settings.
The audio input will be muted while the error message is displayed.
"RavErr"
Appears IF there is an invalid combination of status flags for the RAVENNA stream.
Since the flags are updated cyclically, the error should heal itself. If the issue persists, then check
the RAVENNA pages (in the Web UI).
The audio input will be muted while the error message is displayed.
