AEQ Audio Over IP
Routing System
9
Compatibility with other manufacturers is absolute. "Dante Controller" software makes the
different IP access cards work together, no matter which manufacturer provides the equipment
they are installed in.
1.3. General Features.
•
Up to 512 audio channels in each Gigabit Ethernet network. Possibility of integration of
several networks in a TITAN / BC2000D 5120 x 5120 circuit concentrator.
•
Double Ethernet Audio over IP connections in all AEQ consoles and digital matrices.
•
Standalone, double audio over IP interfaces, making audio input and output
connections to central controls, link dispatches, analog studios, reporter cabins and any
other locations where an AEQ digital mixing console is not available an easy task.
•
The system is usually structured as a star-topology using Gigabit Ethernet switches.
•
For smaller installations, the system can be cascaded or "daisy chained", as network
interfaces are duplicated.
•
Where maximum availability is a design goal, the network can be wired with duplicate
switches, ensuring uninterrupted operations with redundant paths.
•
Data transport between devices that allows converting a GPI on one device into a GPO
on another device in the network.
1.4. Operation of the AEQ AoIP system based on DANTE.
1.4.1. Discovery and auto-configuration.
When a Dante-enabled device is connected to an IP/Ethernet network, it will automatically:
•
Configure its IP address.
•
Advertise itself to allow automatic discovery.
Within seconds of a Dante-enabled device connecting to a network, "Dante Controller" will
automatically discover and display the device, allowing you to configure channels and route
audio.
Network automatic configuration.
A Dante-enabled device connected to a network will automatically setup its own network
configuration, including its IP address.
If the network has a DHCP server, which may be the case for installed networks, it will receive
its IP configuration using the standard DHCP protocol.
On a network without a DHCP server, which may be the case for temporary or smaller
networks, the Dante-enabled device will automatically assign itself an address using link local
protocols, in the same way PCs and printers often do.
Automatic discovery.
A Dante-enabled device will advertise information about itself to other Dante devices and
"Dante Controller", including:
•
Device name.
•
Audio channel labels.
•
Number of audio channels.
•
Sample rates and bit depths.
