Depending on the controller, the animation may persist infinitely or stop after a short
period of time.
5.2. Changing the Device Name
A custom name can be assigned to the device. It is used to identify the AVB entity with AVDECC
controllers. It also allows the access to the web remote without using the IP address on Apple macOS™
computers.
The device name is stored to and recalled from
presets
. Loading a preset can therefore
change the device name. The device name is not affected by firmware updates.
Changing the device name is only possible via web remote or AVDECC controller.
To change the device name:
1. Connect the device by USB or network cable and open the web remote.
2. The device name is shown beneath the RME logo. Click the current name to show a text field.
3. Type a new name into the text field and press
Enter
or click
✔︎
. The name is immediately applied.
If the device name is used to access the remote control (within the URL, ie.
http://devicename.local/), the link to the device changes along with the change of the
device name and must be re-entered. The previous URL will not work.
5.3. AVB Stream Size and Format
In an AVB network, a
stream
describes a connection between a
talker
and one or more
listeners
. It
consists of a fixed number of audio channels at a fixed sample rate. The
stream port
of the talker and the
listener must be configured to have the same amount of channels and stream format. Once a stream is
connected, each AVB switch along its way ensures that the audio channels can pass in time, with a
higher priority than other network traffic.
For audio transport, AVB audio endpoints support the AM824 Stream Format or the more efficient AVTP
Audio Format (AAF). Additionally, they may support the Clock Reference Format (CRF), which contains
only clock information, but no audio.
The M-1610 Pro supports a total of
eight incoming streams
and
eight outgoing streams
. Each stream
port can be individually configured to contain
1-8, 12 or 16 channels
in AM824 or AAF format.
Additionally, a stream port may be configured for 0 channel CRF streams.
