Destination Page
The Destination page defines the audio outputs of the xNode. These are the signals which will be taken from the
AoIP network to be embedded into an SDI Output.

Name
The first column is the name field which is used for documenting the output. This is helpful to recall what should be
wired to the xNode or what source should be routed to the output.
Channel
Channel column is used to define the network source which is routed to the destination. You may type in the
channel number or use the browse button to search the network for the desired source. When using the browse
function, a popup will appear displaying all the sources in the network. Selecting a source will populate the channel
information in the text field but the change will not take place until the Apply button is pressed. Selecting some
“To:*” source from the network will automatically change the type field for you.
Type
The Type column defines if the output should behave as stereo or as a linked multichannel group, and if the output
is the audio from the source defined in the channel field or a special dynamic return audio known as a backfeed.
Backfeeds are created when one of the “To Source” options are chosen in the Type field.
Backfeeds turn the destination into a bidirectional link. They are generally used with devices such as hybrids and
telephone systems.
They exist in the network because of an Axia control surface which may have generated the source due to configu-
ration. If you are comfortable with the concept of backfeeds, you can manually change the option. If not familiar,
simply picking the desired source from the browse function should be all you need to do.
