NET ID
The
NET ID
button and LED can be used to reset the service IP address of the RAVENNA/AES67 interface to
its default =
192.168.110.253
. Note that, for safety reasons, a press and hold is required; a quick press of the
button performs no action.
First, make sure that the interface is booted and operating normally - the
NET ID
LED should be blinking yellow.
Then, using a pointed object, press and hold the recessed button until the LED lights continuously. When the
LED switches off, the reset is complete.
RAVENNA Link Specification
When using RAVENNA Link, the interface provides:
·
RAVENNA Link 1.0: multi-channel digital audio-over-IP.
·
Up to 128 bi-directional channels at 48kHz AND 96kHz.
RAVENNA Link connections
must
be directly wired (point-to-point).
RAVENNA Link is supported by Nova73 only.
To guarantee low latency, reliability and easy setup, do NOT connect any other network equipment
between RAVENNA Link ports.
RAVENNA Specification
When using RAVENNA, the interface provides:
·
RAVENNA: multi-channel digital audio-over-IP.
·
Up to 128 bi-directional channels at 48kHz AND 96kHz.
·
Up to 128 TX and 128 RX streams.
RAVENNA connections
must
be made via the Media Network (i.e. to and from a RAVENNA-compatible network
switch). This ensures that the network's PTP clock signal is available to all streaming ports.
RAVENNA provides full SMPTE ST2110-30 and AES67 compatibility, since these protocols are a subset of
the RAVENNA specification.
The Media Network
must
be properly configured and managed. i.e. it must use a suitable network
architecture; all components must support multicast (as opposed to unicast); a proper Quality of Service
(QoS) must be configured; and so on.
Please
DO NOT
attempt to connect the streaming ports using an unqualifying IP network, as correct
operation cannot be guaranteed.
