RAVENNA Source Stream Selection
For a RAVENNA source, you can select a stream using the fader strip rotary control and
TAKE
button.
6.6.1
Stream Naming & Organization
To support this feature, streams must be announced to the network using the following naming convention:
"Group:Stream". When using dynamic input switching, this provides a two-step navigation process: first select
the Group, and then browse through all available Streams within that Group. Both the Group and Stream labels
can be up to 8 characters.
By default, the labels are retrieved automatically from the network. Streams with the same Group name are
combined into a single Group even if they are provided by different devices. The list presented to the operator
is updated automatically so that newly discovered streams are added, and streams which can no longer be
detected are erased. To prevent access to certain streams, filters can be applied in the configuration.
In cases where streams cannot be named using the above convention, it is possible to map specific streams to
pre-configured labels. In this instance, the list of streams presented to the operator is fixed and is independent
of stream availability.

Press down on the fader strip rotary control to step through the input parameters until you reach the
stream selection menu.
The display shows either the current Group and Stream name, or the text "
not in pool
".

.
Turn the rotary control to scroll through the available Groups and press down to make a selection.

.
Turn the rotary control again to scroll through all available Streams with that Group.
If your network supports dynamic stream detection, then the list of available streams updates automatically.

.
Once you are happy with the selection, press the
Take
button to start the subscription process.
There will be a brief pause in the audio while the streaming connection is configured. During this time, the
connection status is shown in the fader label display. The display updates to show the stream name once the
subscription is successful.
In our example, the three lines of text show the following information:
·
REWORK =
the Group name (detected from the network).
·
CODEC 3
= the Stream name (detected from the network).
·
RAV 01 =
the source Display Name (defined in the configuration).
