32-Channel Systems
Aviom’s Pro16 audio networking products work in blocks of 16 channels.
Audio networks of 32 channels can be configured as:
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)
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.
hardware by using the built-in A-Net Expansion ports.
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.
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

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.
