7. Expansion
Savant IP Audio devices can be connected to a dedicated AVB network using a Savant certified AVB/TSN switch, or series of connected switches.
IMPORTANT NOTES :
–
The number of IP Audio devices which can be supported in any given system is defined by the Savant Host type and da Vinci runtime version
being used on site. For Host feature support limits, refer to the Release ReadMe or Host Licensing and Feature Support Matrix for the relevant da
Vinci runtime version, available via the Savant Customer Community.
– Some Hos t support parameters for IP Audio devices may reference additional “Listen-Only devices”, which includes IP Audio Micro Aperture
Speakers.
7.1. Blueprint Layout with 5 IP Audio devices
The example image below shows only the IP Audio devices and the AVB/TSN switch to illustrate how to have these devices work as a “single switch”.
Each IP Audio component’s AVB_A Ethernet Port is connected to one of the AVB_B Ethernet Ports on the switch. The AVB Switch Uplink Port must
be connected physically to the regular networking switch on site, however this connection is assumed, and not represented in Blueprint.
