1200-SmartPanels

AES67 4-wire App

New_2-0.png

The AES67 4-wire app now allows 1200 series SmartPanels to connect both analog audio inputs (Audio A/B) and up to 2 SMPTE 2110-30 (AES67) channels in the audio network without occupying ports on the Artist Matrix.

In the I/O Matrix, signals between From Artist Patch and To Artist Patch can be used to send signals between the I/O Matrix and the Director audio patch. The AES67 4-wire is independent of the analog 4-wire, which means that both can be used in parallel. There is no longer a selection to decide whether a 4-wire is analog or AES67.

This app requires a license file (INT_1200_AES67_4W).
Further information can be found in the chapter SmartPanel Apps/Licenses.


Follow these steps to activate the AES67 4-wire operation.

The AES67 4-wire can only be used if the SmartPanel is connected to the matrix via AES67.

If the SmartPanel is connected to an Artist-1024, the transport mode is automatically AES67.
If the SmartPanel is connected to an Artist-32/64/128, the transport mode must be set to AES67 as follows.


  • Touch the att_3_for_1922629729.png gear icon in the info display.

  • Select the menu: Transport.

  • In the Transport Mode entry, select the AES67 option.

  • The Receiver Settings will open.

  • Enter the stream parameters.

  • Alternatively, you can load the parameters via an SDP file by clicking the Import SDP button.

  • Apply the settings by clicking the att_8_for_1922629729.png button.

  • Then start receiving the stream by pressing the att_9_for_1922629729.png button.

The number of audio channels defined in the Receiver Settings is displayed in the I/O matrix.

  • Click on the Sender (1...2) that is to send the AES67 4-wire stream (e.g., Sender 1).

The Sender Settings will open.

  • Enter the stream parameters.

  • Apply the settings by clicking the att_12_for_1922629729.png button.

  • You can save the parameters as an SDP file by clicking the Export SDP button.

  • Then start sending the stream by pressing the att_13_for_1922629729.png button.

  • Route your AES67 audio channel input to the desired outputs by setting the appropriate crosspoints.

In this example, the first audio channel of Receiver 1 is routed to the first audio channel of Sender 1, to the Analog A Output, and to the Artist Matrix.
