Scroll down to view these additional
Device tab settings.
18. In the Input/Output Banks sections,
you can disable any banks that you
are not using. Doing so hides them
from the routing matrix and mixer to
simplify operation. Doing so also
helps conserve DSP resources.
19.
AVB is IEEE’s Audio Video Bridging
Ethernet standard for high-
bandwidth, low-latency audio
streaming over Ethernet. If your
24Ai or 24Ao is connected to a 2nd
MOTU AVB interface through its
network port, or to an AVB switch for
access to an extended AVB network,
you can stream audio channels to
other destinations on the network.
AVB streams are handled in banks of
eight channels, so if you enable 8
out of 8 streams, that’s 64 channels.
See chapter 9, “Networking”
(page 69).
20. If you have AVB network input
streams enabled, connect them to
the output streams of other devices
on the network here.
21. In the Computer Setup section, you
can specify how many audio
channels you would like to be able to
stream to and from your computer,
up to 24 channels each way, simul-
taneously. Map them as desired in
the Routing tab (page 16).
22. Use these buttons to manually check
for and install updates for your
MOTU AVB device. For complete
details, see Appendix E, “Updating
Firmware” page (87). Updating from
a file can be done offline from your
computer, using an update you’ve
obtained through MOTU’s web site
or tech support department. The
Check For Updates button requires
that the computer (or device) you
are using to view your MOTU AVB
interface is connected to the inter-
net through a local network or WiFi.
Updating from the internet is easy
and convenient.
23. Use these buttons to reboot (restart)
the device, or restore its factory
presets.
24. In the Optical Setup section, you can
choose between 8-channel ADAT or
stereo TOSLink formats for bank A
input and output, independently. At
882. or 96 kHz, the ADAT setting
supports 4-channel SMUX format.
For details, see “Optical” on page 40.
25. The digital mixer in your MOTU AVB
interface supports up to 48
channels. If you don’t need that
many inputs, you can lower the
number here to simplify mixer and
routing operation and conserve DSP
bandwidth for effects processing.
