2.9 Models /AoIP (optional)
The models DX816/AoIP and DX822/AoIP can in-
clude up to two Ethernet interfaces. See Figure 3.
/AoIP allows to stream the PGM signal (models
with only one AoIP) or PGM and REC (models with
double AoIP). The AoIP module allows:
•
Link with the transmitter plant (STL). At the
transmitter plant a dedicated hardware receive
the stream (Solidyne ADA102 or processors
Solidyne 562dsp/IP or series 542 APC).
•
Send the PGM signal to another computer of
the network. This computer can decode the
streaming using any audio player software
with support for RTP streaming (i.e. VLC
Player).
•
Link with another Solidyne AoIP console
( D612; DX816/822 /AoIP; Series 2600 and
UNIDEX UX24).
2.9.1 AoIP power source
The IP module receives power from the USB con-
nection, so it is only available when the console is
connected to a computer via USB.
If the console is not connected to a computer via
USB, a standard USB power source (5V) can be
connected to DX816/822.
2.9.2 Studio to Transmitter Link
In studies, the /AoIP console works as ENCODER,
generating an audio streaming to establish a
unidirectional link (half-duplex) between the Studio
and the Transmitter Plant. At the transmitter plant
the streaming is decoded by a dedicated hardware
(i.e. Solidyne ADA102 or audio processor with
streaming AoIP).
2.9.3 Set up the AoIP module
Setup options are available in an embed web page.
By default, the unit works with "Dynamic IP". Con-
necting the console to a LAN, the unit gets an IP ad-
dress via DHCP (the router will assign an IP). The
procedure is as follows:
Step 1
Connect the unit to the network using an standard
cable. The network must have a router. DX816/822
with AoIP can also connect directly to a modem-
router, since usually it will assign an IP via DHCP.
Once the IP is obtained, a green LED at the rear
panel (RJ45) stays blinking.
Step 2
To know the IP address, install and run the tool
“Solidyne Multi-discovery”
, available at:
The file IP.exe is a software setup that installs the “Solidyne
Multi-Discovery. Look for leame-readme.txt and follow the indica-
tions according the case.
Step 3
Multi-Discovery will show the device in a list box.
Double clic on it to open the AoIP (streaming) web
interface. Or you can open a web browser and enter
the IP address showed by Multi-Discovery.
2.9.4 Streaming settings
2.9.4.1 Set the destiny IP
The screen STATUS indicates the IP port
configuration. By default the module is set as Studio
Encoder (option "Location" → 'Studio Encoder').
Step 4
To check the settings, access to "Configuration" and
choose
"Basic settings"
.
•
"Stream method" must be
"Push (RTP)".
•
In the URL field defines the DNS name or IP
address, and the destination port to which the
console streaming broadcast.
•
Press "Apply" to confirm the settings.
The configurations listed below require knowledge
in network administration.
The destination IP address is the external address of
the network in the Transmitter Plant, where it is
connected the DECODER (static IP assigned by your
ISP). When the data packets reach the
router/firewall on the other end, must be re-
directed to the DECODER IP (eg 192.168.0.30).
Since the mixer transmitt to a specific IP address
and port, at the transmitter plant all packets that
arrives at this specific address and port must be
forwarded to the DECODER, or a particular
computer, which will decode the stream as audio
signal. To identify which packets must be sent use
port forwarding
.
