menus. Some changes may require remote rebooting of
the Brooklyn II card to take effect, temporarily interrupting audio and publishing
the new information to the network.
Dante Clock Selection
While the Brooklyn’s internal clock is highly accurate, the iAM-MIX does not have
provisions for external sync clocks, such as those that are GPS or media reference
(video genlock or audio word clock) based. So it is generally not the best candidate
to be the PTP Master Clock (commonly called the “grandfather clock”) for the
network. It can be set as the preferred master if no better clock source exists.
Refer to Figure B-5.
The iAM-MIX Brooklyn Dante card will serve as a temporary fallback clock source if
preferred masters are interrupted. It functions as an accurate slave clock
synchronized to the master clock on the network when not operating as the master.

Channel Names
The iAM-MIX uses the BKLYN-II default network channel names of Tx 01-16 and Rx
01-64. The network controller can change these names as desired, but iAM-MIX
channel selections will remain as the original default numbers, unless changed in
the
Channel Naming - AoIP
page. Note these iAM-MIX internal channel names are
not passed to the Dante network for discovery purposes, and are internal to the
iAM-MIX.
It is recommended for best operator understanding and system administrator
reference that channel name changes made over the Dante network be manually
entered in the iAM-MIX
Channel Naming - AoIP
page to match.
Important:
Only 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz audio sample rates are currently
supported by the iAM-MIX. The Brooklyn II card would
accept a Dante Controller command to operate at other
rates, without giving an indication it will not be
implemented.
