2. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the AVB Tool.
The
AVB Tool
combines four instrument, line and microphone inputs, two line outputs, and a headphone
output with MADI and AVB routing capabilities. Among its outstanding features: digital no-compromise
studio quality converters, remote control, and a user interface optimized for rapid configuration and
control.
The device state can be inspected and modified directly on the front panel with an encoder knob, a
display, four buttons that change their function depending on the current feature, and a button on each
input channel. It is possible to rapidly create gain groups, switch phantom power and route signals to the
headphone
The RME AVB Core has implemented the IEEE standards for audio streaming, discovery and control
meticulously, allowing the devices to be discovered and fully controlled by any AVB controller and
making vendor-specific control protocols a thing of the past. Any signal reaching the AVB Tool can be
routed and streamed over deterministic networks with fixed latency and guaranteed bandwidth - no
switch configuration required!
The coaxial MADI port and a slot for a second, independent or redundant optical MADI port (SFP module)
can be used for daisy chaining, merging and converting MADI signals with lowest latencies.
A web frontend offers convenient access to the device controls and its integrated routing matrix. The
integrated matrix allows free routing between analog inputs and headphone outputs, as well as all
channels of both MADI ports, the AVB streams, and the analog line outputs.
