The AVN portal range can transmit and receive audio using AoIP with
support for both RAVENNA and AES67. AoIP input streams are discovered
and output streams are advertised using Avahi/Bonjour and SAP.
The rear panel contains IEC mains and DC power inputs which allow for power
redundancy. There are also two ethernet RJ45 connections (control and AoIP)
and an SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) port. This allows the user to install
an SFP transceiver of their choice such as a 1Gbit/s copper or optical SFP
transceiver. When an SFP is used, this replaces the AoIP RJ45 connection.
Each portal has a configurable GPIO system, with 10 physical ports (provided
by a D-Sub or terminal block connection) and 10 virtual ports, which can
be user configured as inputs or outputs and provide software-controlled
functionality. A voltage free relay contact is also available on the physical port
which can be used to operate external equipment.
Audio connectivity is available with either RJ45/XLR and D-Sub connectors or
terminal block connectors. The AVN-PM8 also supports microphone inputs
and phantom power. If phantom power is activated, the associated LED on the
back panel of the device is illuminated.
A built-in web server allows the user to modify and backup the device’s
configuration and apply firmware updates. An Ember+ interface also gives
access to the unit’s configuration as well as providing remote control and
monitoring of the GPIO and virtual GPIO ports.
The front panel provides status information and allows some of the device
configuration to be modified directly. The front panel has an OLED display
used to display these menus. The front panel controls also include user
configurable buttons which can be set-up to perform actions such as
activating a GPIO or as a shortcut button to jump to a specified menu on the
OLED display.
A meter display can be added to any of the portals, this provides a live display
of the levels of the physical inputs and outputs. It is also possible to select a
single input or output and view its metering data in a more detailed view. The
scale used on the meter is also user configurable. On devices without a meter
display, a smaller display is shown on the main OLED display.
