AVB Input Streams
The AVB streams received by the M-32 AD Pro 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 AVDECC Controller is required. The M-32 AD Pro does not include an AVDECC Controller.
AVB input streams are monitored as follows:
Description | Indicator | Possible solution |
---|---|---|
Disabled |

Verify proper talker configuration |
SR Mismatch |
red |
Verify that the sample rates of talker and listener are identical |
Waiting |

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, or 0 channels in CRF Media Clock stream format.
-
Open the AVB tab in the INPUT section.
-
Move the cursor to highlight the corresponding AVB stream size and press the encoder.
-
Rotate the encoder to configure a new stream size and format, then confirm by pressing the encoder again.
-
Connect the device by USB or network cable and open the web remote.
-
Open an AVB port in the routing area and use the up and down arrows
to adjust the stream size.
-
Use the stream format dropdown
to select the format to be used.
-
Click Apply.
Changing a stream size briefly interrupts all incoming AVB streams. |
Incoming streams can contain less than the specified amount of channels. |
Routing Signals to the Outputs
Each output channel of the M-32 AD Pro can receive any input signal. The factory default preset does not contain any routing.
A routing immediately activates input monitoring for a corresponding digital input and raises a warning in the input state if the source signal is not available or out of sync. |
The following example shows the procedure to route to MADI Coaxial output channels. Other outputs follow the same procedure.
-
Open the OUTPUT section.
-
Rotate the encoder to highlight the coaxial or optical MADI icon.
"Route Signals to MADI Coaxial/Optical Output" text will be shown on the display. -
Press the encoder to open the routing. The cursor will highlight the first available channel block.
-
Either rotate the encoder to select the next available channel block or press it to start assigning the source signal.
-
Again, rotate the encoder to select the source for the selected output.
Choosing "not routed" deletes an existing routing, and "cancel" aborts the routing and keeps the previous routing.
-
Enter the Routing mode by pressing the corresponding icon in the title bar.
-
Click the MADI coaxial or MADI optical output port.
-
Select individual or consecutive channels by clicking or dragging. The channels are highlighted in blue and an arrow handler is revealed.
-
If the input ports are closed, drag the handle onto an input port, it opens automatically.
-
Drag the handle onto the source channel strips to select a range of channels as signal source.
