AVB Input Streams

The AVB streams received by the AVB Tool are referred to as "input streams". For these streams, the device acts as an AVB Listener.

To establish a connection between a talker and a listener, an ATDECC Controller is required. The AVB Tool does not include an ATDECC Controller.

AVB input streams are monitored as follows:

Change AVB Input Stream Size

Each of the eight AVB streams can have a size of 1-8, 12 or 16 channels in AM824 and AAF stream formats.

To change the amount of channels and format of incoming AVB streams:

  1. Open the AVB tab in the INPUT section.

  2. Use the first button and encoder to select an incoming stream.

    w1A 230 2T 1

  3. Use the second button and encoder to change the stream size and format.

To change the amount of channels of the incoming AVB streams using the web remote:

  1. Connect the device by USB or network cable and open the web remote.

  2. Open an AVB port in the routing area and use the up and down arrows wAL co 1 to adjust the stream size.

  3. Use the stream format dropdown wAL co 2 to select the format to be used.

    wAL 230 2T 2

  4. Click OK wAL co 3.

Changing a stream size briefly interrupts all incoming AVB streams.
Incoming streams can contain less than the specified amount of channels.
