AVN-DIO19 Dante
®
to AES3 16 Channel I/O Converter
The AVN-DIO19 audio converter and interface converts up to eight digital
stereo AES3 inputs and eight digital stereo AES3 outputs to and from the
Dante Audio-over-IP networking standard. Each input can accept sample
rates from 32kHz to 192kHz, which will be sample rate converted to the
Dante system sample rate. All outputs follow the Dante system sample
rate.
It’s powered using Power over Ethernet (PoE), using Neutrik EtherCON®
connectors, with primary and secondary ports for power and data
redundancy. The AVN-DIO19 uses the latest Audinate Dante® chipsets so is
AES67 and Dante Domain Manager® compliant.
There are front panel LEDs to indicate network clock status, AoIP Primary
and AoIP Secondary link status, PoE Primary power and PoE Secondary
power active. In addition to these there are 8 AES3 input lock status LEDs.
A web interface is available for firmware updates, status information,
network and device settings.
The AVN-DIO19 is supplied with a belt-clip, shoulder strap hooks (but not
the strap) and an under desk mounting plate. Up to 3 of the AVN-DIO19
units can be rackmount in the 1U AVN-DIORK.
• 8 x balanced digital stereo AES3 inputs and outputs on 2 x 25-way D-
types.
• Sample rate conversion of physical inputs to Dante system sample rate.
• Physical output sample rate matches Dante system sample rate.
• Dual redundant Primary and Secondary Dante network ports using
Neutrik EtherCON® Ethernet connectors.
• Powered via PoE (Power over Ethernet) with PoE dual redundancy.
• Fully Dante compliant device.
• AES67 compatible.
• Dante Domain Manager compliant.
• Web interface for configuration.
• Clock, PoE, Network link and AES3 input lock LEDs.
• All available Dante sample rates supported.
• Supplied with belt-clip, shoulder strap hooks (but not the strap) and
under desk mounting plate.
• 3 x units rackmount in the AVN-DIORK

Controller
Dante Controller is an application provided by Audinate and can be
downloaded from their website: https://www.audinate.com/
Use Dante Controller as you normally would to setup the audio routes on
the unit. For troubleshooting information please see the official Dante®
FAQs at:

Embedded Web Server
The AVN-DIO19 has an embedded web server which provides easy access
to device information, network settings and allows for firmware updates
when new releases are available.
The device has two Ethernet ports on the back panel. One is the ‘Primary’
Ethernet port and the other is the ‘Secondary’ Ethernet port. When set to
switched mode in Dante Controller, either of these ports can be connected
to a network and a computer on the same network which can then access
the embedded web server. When set to redundant mode, only the primary
Ethernet port will allow access to the web server.
By default, the embedded web server is set to static address mode and the
IP address is 192.168.0.100 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. If the
network address mode for the port to be used has been set to ‘Dynamic’,
the unit will attempt to acquire an IP address from a DHCP server. If no
DHCP server is found an automatically generated IP address will be used.
The active IP address for the network port can be found using a service
discovery tool such as the ‘Discovery Application’ which can be found on
the Sonifex website (http://sonifex.co.uk/technical/software/
index.shtml#sfxsrvdisc).
Information
The Information tab shows the current status of the unit as well as the
software versions of the various modules running on the unit. When
contacting Sonifex technical support, it is important to provide the
information shown on this page. The lower half of the page shows the
configuration of the network ports; the ‘Control Port Information’ shows
the network address configuration of the embedded web server which can
be accessed on both the ‘Primary’ and ‘Secondary’ Ethernet connections.
