Aviom’s Pro16 audio networking products work in blocks of 16 channels. Audio networks of 32 channels can be configured as:

•32 channels send by zero channels return (32 x 0 )

•16 channels send by 16 channels return (16 x 16)

•0 channels send by 32 channels return (0 x 32)

Systems up to 32 audio channels can be configured with no additional hardware by using the built-in A-Net Expansion ports.

One Pro16 input module is shown connected to four A-Net devices. The AN-16/i, AN-16/i-M, AV-M8, Y1 card, or D-16c card can be substituted for the Pro16 input module shown in the diagram.

When substituting an AV-M8 module in the diagram above, remember that the AV-M8 is an 8-channel device. In the configuration above, only channels 1-8 on the Pro16 output devices will have audio signals present. Cascading two AV-M8 modules with the ADAT® link will provide 16 channels.

For systems larger than 32 channels, Aviom offers the AN-16SBR System Bridge as an option. The System Bridge allows up to four A-Net streams to be combined into a single Cat-5e cable for distribution over long distances.

A 32-channel system is comprised of two pair of Pro16 Series I/O units, each providing a 16-channel data stream. (Remember that two AV-M8 units cascaded via the ADAT link create a single Pro16 A-Net stream.) Since the Pro16 system is modular, you can connect the Pro16 Series units as needed, making any of the configurations mentioned previously available at any time. Simply move and re-patch the units.

A-Net Expansion

In a 32-channel system, the A-Net Expansion port is used to allow two A-Net data streams to travel down one cable.

Some points to remember about using the A-Net Expansion ports on the Pro16 Series input and output modules to create an audio network:

•When creating a network with two pair of Pro16 Series units, one A-Net Expansion port will be connected to an A-Net In port while the other A-Net Expansion port
