What is in the iVAM2-2 for Dante
The Audinate® Brooklyn II board automatically recognizes Dante
TM
networks when
installed, will alert other devices of its presence and configuration, and will
configure its AoIP address per DHCP or local link protocols. There is no need to set
a static address for the iVAM2-2 Dante port, so no address entry method is
provided in the iVAM2-2 for Dante network setup. While it is possible to
Manually
Configure an IP Address
from the network, this is
not
a recommended Dante
practice and should not be done.
Figure B–2: Device View
Up to 16 of the 64 AoIP receive channels can be monitored at once in the iVAM2-2.
The iVAM2-2 transmits up to 20 channels. 1 to 16 are the monitored channel in
prefade mode. The remaining four are reserved for future use. Currently they are
mapped to channels being monitored on meter 1 to 4 in post-fade mode. The
sixteen iVAM2-2 monitored channels are transmitted to the Dante network.
The iVAM2-2
Dante
TM
AoIP is configured by the iVAM2-2 to receive up to 64
channels and transmit 16 channels of Dante AoIP at 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz
audio sample rates. 48 kHz is the iAM default rate.
Sample rate selection is left up to the Dante
TM
Controller device or software.
All
devices connected to each other through a Dante network must be set to the same
sample rate.
Slight ticking may be heard in the iVAM2-2 monitor when monitoring
different input types at different sample rates or if sources are asynchronous.
