CHAPTER 1: Installation Introduction Overview The iAM-12G-SDI is a 2RU multichannel multi-source audio/video monitor with multiple standard copper connections and multiple SFP module options facilitating high density coax and optical fiber connections. The iAM-12G-SDI includes dual 12G SDI SFP inputs and it can monitor 12G/3G/HD/SD-SDI video and audio from the selected one.
5. Do not install near any heat source such as a radiator, heat register, amplifier, or stove. 6. Do not attempt to plug the unit into a two-blade outlet (with only two prongs of equal width). Important: By design, the supplied AC mains power cord will only plug into a three-prong grounded outlet for your safety. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. 7.
Heat Dissipation The ambient temperature inside the mounting enclosure should not exceed 40° Celsius (104° Fahrenheit). Adjacent devices can be rack mounted (or stacked) in proximity to the unit if this temperature is not exceeded. Otherwise, allow a 1RU (1.75”/44.45mm) space above and below the unit for air circulation. Important : Heat generated by the class D power amplifiers, power supplies, and other components is vented by slots in the sides and back of the unit.
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
CHAPTER 2: Local Operation Startup The iAM-12G-SDI unit will begin its startup process when it is connected to power. There is no power switch. It is normal for the product to require about a minute to start up and be ready to use. When the iAM-12G-SDI completes its startup, the Power indicator will turn green. Depending upon optional settings, all channel clusters will either be in the muted condition or set in a predetermined way.

Figure 2-4: Analog DB25 Output and Input Connections 10. Balanced Analog Output Pair: These male XLR connectors provide two balanced analog outputs: Left and Right. The source of these signals is the mix of audio as monitored by the internal speakers. The Balanced Analog Output Pair is standard on the iAM-12G-SDI. Note: PCM channels marked as data channels (such as those containing encoded Dolby streams) are automatically muted from being sent out to the external amplifier and speakers.
11. AES Inputs: This HD-15 connector is used to connect up to four AES inputs. Refer to Figure 2-6 for the pinout of this connector. The easiest way to interface with this connector is to use an HD-15 to VGA adaptor cable. Channels are selected as AES 1-8.

SFP-2022-6 / SFP-2110 Address Setup While the optional SFP-2022-6 and SFP-2110 modules monitor program audio created from distinctly different technologies, both are connected to the network in the same way and have the same requirements for addressing. Up to 3G SDI is supported by these modules. Figure 2-7 illustrates the network connections they need.
Channel Meters and Touch Operations The audio mixer terminology of “solo” is used in this manual when referring to muting all but a specific audio channel or subgroup. Since the terms “group” and “subgroup” have different meanings in SDI vs. pro audio, this manual uses the term “cluster” to define a set of audio channels forming an audio program—such as Mono (1.0), Stereo (2.0) or Surround (5.1 or 7.1).
3 7 8 7 8 7 8 A square indicates that this is a center channel and will be monitored in both speakers. The symbol shown on channels 7 and 8 in Figure 2-8 indicate that this channel pair is a Dolby bitstream. Refer to the Dolby Zoom section of this chapter. If these symbols appear on a channel pair, they indicate that this channel pair is a Dolby bitstream, but that the Dolby Decoder within the iAM-12G-SDI is still booting up and that you may not yet select the Dolby Zoom function on them.
is being performed. The following describes each function: a. Mute / Un-Mute Selection: A violet box surrounds any channel cluster that is muted. Typically, when the iAM-12G-SDI is first powered, all of the channel clusters are muted. Touching a muted channel cluster un-mutes it and removes the violet box. Muting and un-muting by touching is an alternate action function. b. Solo Selector: Touch any channel cluster you would like to solo.
Back Surround Right After adjusting the Channel Routing, press the Adjust B control again or touch anywhere on the meters to save the change and resume monitoring the combination of monitored clusters as before you soloed the channel. 6. Phase Indicators: There is one Phase Indicator per channel pair. It is pale green when the channels are in phase and bright red when they are out of phase.
Dolby Monitoring Screens Dolby Zoom Screen Dolby Zoom is a very powerful analysis tool. Much as a camera lens can “zoom” into a single subject of interest out of many, the Dolby Zoom feature lets you quickly “zoom” into a single Dolby bitstream, out of multiple encoded Dolby streams and other channels. Simply rotate the Adjust B control until 7 8 the Dolby bitstream, as identified by the Dolby icon (shown here at right), is highlighted and then press the Adjust B control.

Dolby MetaData Touching the Dolby MetaData button proceeds to the Dolby MetaData Screen. This screen has three forms, depending upon which tab you touch. These forms are shown in Figures 2-15, 2-16 and 2-17. Initially, when first touching the Dolby MetaData button, the screen shown in Figure 2-15 appears. Figure 2-15: Dolby MetaData Screen Touching and moving the scroll bar at the right will let you review the list of Dolby MetaData. Rotating the Adjust B knob will also let you scroll through the list.
Figure 2-16: Dolby MetaData Screen Loudness Tab Touching the Presentation Data tab on the Dolby MetaData Screen will show data related to the audio bed and dynamic objects displayed on the Visualizer Screen. The audio bed is the arrangement of speakers in the listening room. The sounds produced by the audio bed accurately simulate the locations of the dynamic objects, which are heard as sound sources from any location in the listening room.
Numbers between the limits shown indicate the position of the object between left and right, between back and front, and between floor and ceiling. Dolby ED2 Stream Selection and Decoding Dolby ED2 streams can be carried over two SDI or AES channel pairs. The screen may appear as shown in Figure 2-18. Although both channel pairs will be indicated as containing a Dolby stream, you must select the first (leftmost) of the two streams in order to zoom into it.
Dolby Preset Monitoring Screen When a Dolby Preset is being monitored, the Dolby codec currently being used can be displayed, as shown in Figure 2-19, at the center top of the screen. Figure 2-19: Dolby Preset Monitoring Screen Note: If a Dolby Preset was selected as the iAM-12G-SDI is powered down, it will then reappear when the iAM-12G-SDI is powered up again.
Dolby® ATMOS Visualizer Screen Dolby ATMOS decoding is an optional feature requiring the OPT-DOLBY ATMOS module. It allows decoding of Dolby® ATMOS content, along with the familiar Dolby® D, Dolby® D+, and Dolby® E content. Because of the increased number of channels, up to 7.1.4, Dolby® ATMOS creates an amazing experience over speakers and over headphones, with breathtaking, moving audio that flows above and around you.

In Figure 4-3, it can be seen that there are three Presets in the Operator-1 group and only one Preset in the Operator-2 group. The currently selected active Preset for local operation is shown in red. In Figure 4-3, this is the Preset named SDI-AESMix. Figure 4–3: Dashboard Preset Recall / Edit A Group / Preset Summary is shown in the upper right of the screen. This enables you to see the total number of Groups, Presets and Favorite Presets in the iAM12G-SDI. Use the All Presets.
Figure 4–4: Dashboard Preset Edit The Edit options for a Preset are: 1. Delete: Remove the Preset from the system. Do Not delete the currently active Preset. 2. Rename: Rename the Preset, but keep all of its other characteristics. 3. Make Favorite: Make this Preset a favorite. This can be done for frequently used Presets.
1. Delete: Delete the Group and all of the Presets it contains. 2. Rename: Rename the Group, but keep all of its other characteristics. Preset Management Although the Source Select function, as described in the Source Select section of Chapter 2, can be used to choose which input sources to monitor, often a more customized input monitoring scheme will better meet your needs. Inputs from multiple sources can be arranged in logical metering and monitoring configurations using Presets.
Preset, or create a new Preset from an existing Preset. Refer to Figure 4-7: • To create a new Preset, first either select a Group from the pull down list or type the name of a new Group in the Group Name field provided. Then enter a name for the new Preset in the Preset Name field. Then make all of the settings needed and save it. • To make changes to an existing Preset, select the Group and Preset from the pull down lists, make the needed changes and save it.
click the Reset button that is adjacent to the Autofill button. 4. System Clock Reference: For reliable operation, it is imperative that an appropriate clock reference selection be made. This is done in a pull down menu. Refer to Figure 4-8. The lack of an appropriate clock reference may result in erratic monitoring or no ability to monitor at all. Figure 4-8: System Clock Reference System Clock Reference 5.
Figure 4–9: Cluster Assignment In the Cluster box, you can select the type of Cluster from a pull down selection. The available Cluster Type selections are: • Mono 1.0: The channel will appear within a single-channel cluster. • Stereo 2.0: The channels will appear within a two-channel cluster. • Surround 5.1: The channels will appear within a 6-channel cluster. • Surround 7.1: The channels will appear within an 8-channel cluster. • Custom: You may define a 0 to 8 channel cluster.
Figure 4–10: Speaker Assignment 7. Mute/Unmute: A Mute/Unmute control is provided for each channel, although the adjustment will affect all channels in the Cluster. This allows the operator to just see the meters for certain channels and not hear the audio. This is an alternate action control. 8. Channel Information: Hovering over each red/yellow/green Channel or Cluster Info box opens a summary of channel settings. You may use this to verify that you have correctly entered the needed channel settings.
Dolby Presets Dolby Presets are useful for customers who want to simultaneously monitor both Dolby decoded channels and other inputs or want to have an auto-zoom to monitor a certain pair that is known to be carrying Dolby encoded audio. Creating a Dolby Preset is in many ways very similar to creating any other Preset. Refer to the Preset Input Routing section of this chapter. Figure 4-11 shows a Dolby Preset being created.
Note: If the Apply Dolby Zoom Meter Screen option is turned on and if Apply Common Dolby Configurations is selected while creating a Dolby preset, the channel clustering shown on the screen follows the Speaker Configuration as set in the Dolby Configuration. Otherwise, the channel clustering shown on the screen follows the speaker configuration selected while creating a Dolby preset. Note: The Loudness calculations are always done on the Dolby channels, even if the Preset has other mixed channels.
the Common Dolby configuration of this unit, simply click the Apply Common Dolby Configurations checkbox. The Dolby Settings section of this chapter explains the Common Dolby Configurations. The screen will then appear as is shown in Figure 4-13. Note: You may also replace some of the decoded channels with un-encoded input source channels so that they can all be monitored on the same meter screen. To do this, use the following steps: 1.
Phase Indicators by Preset The Configuration - Preset Management - Phase Indicator tab is where the Phase Indicators can be enabled to show on the Audio Meters screen or whether they shouldn't according to each Preset. Generally speaking, the Phase Indicators should be shown, but if the channels of any pair contain dissimilar material, then the Phase Indicator for that channel pair should be disabled. This is to keep the operator from seeing the Phase Indicator frequently but needlessly light.
Output Routing by Preset The Output Routing tab allows you to determine exactly which input channels are routed to which outputs. It appears as shown in Figure 4-15. This very flexible capability allows you to route signals according to Preset or as a default for the whole system. Refer to the Global Output Routing section in this chapter to learn the function of each of the checkboxes and of the matrix in this tab.
Output Routing The Output Routing feature (OPT-OUTPUT-ROUTING) allows channels to be routed or combined and routed in custom ways to various destination outputs. Output Routing is applied to: 1. Signals monitored using "Input Source select" from the Front Panel, 2. Presets that have been created to apply the Output Routing. Any change to the routing will affect the Presets that have "Apply Output Routing" selected. For example, multiple channels of a 7.
Figure 4-16: Global Output Routing Option Destination Outputs Source Inputs Output Options Destination Outputs On the left of the Global Output Routing screen are listed the Destination Outputs. These are the outputs to which any input can be routed. They are as follows: 1. Speaker/Headphone: Selected inputs will be sent to the left and right speakers. The default routing is set as per the Speaker Assignment, left channels are sent to the left speaker and right channels are sent to the Right speaker. 2.
SDI output channels 9 through 16 and that is not configurable. Source Inputs The source inputs which may be routed are described in this section. 1. Cluster Information: Cluster information shows the type of cluster and the cluster name. 2. Speaker Assignment: Speaker assignment can be used to configure to which speakers the audio is routed to.
Typical Questions Regarding Output Routing The questions and thoughts in this section are commonly asked by people when setting up the Output Routing capability. What signal outputs can be controlled using the Output Routing feature? All the outputs on the iAM-12G-SDI can be controlled using the Output Routing feature. This includes – Internal Speakers, Analog XLR outputs, all 8 pairs of Analog DB25 outputs and 4 pairs of SDI SFP outputs.
checkboxes. As shown in the above example, signals appearing on Audio Meter channels 1 and 2 are routed to the Analog XLR outputs. This output is volume and balance controlled and will follow the Solo/Mutes on the Audio Meter screen. How do I have a downmixed pre-fade output on Analog DB-25 Pair-1 combined with a post-fade output on the Analog XLRs? To control whether a specific output is pre-faded or post-faded use the Volume Control setting on the Output Routing configuration page.
The Global Output Routing feature works great. But what if we don't want to create any Presets and want to monitor audio only using Source Select? How would I configure different outputs for Source Select choices? Use the Global Output Routing settings to determine how the outputs are configured for source select options.
How do I ensure that my outputs are pre-faded but follow the solo-mutes? This will allow us to monitor only the unmuted/solo Audio Meter channels on amplified stereo speakers connected to the Analog XLR’s. In the Output Routing setting, for the Analog XLR outputs, keep the Volume Control checkbox unchecked and the Solo/Mute checkbox checked. This ensures that the Volume Control is not applied to the outputs, while the Solos/Mutes are.
Preset Replication Preset Replication allows you to copy presets from a master unit to multiple iAM12G-SDI units. This can save a lot of setup time if multiple units all need basically the same setup. To start Preset Replication, click on the Preset Replication tab on the master unit. This will start the unit discovery process and will list all the iAM-12G-SDI units that you currently have on your network. The discovery process will continue for a period of 2 minutes.
Figure 4-18: Preset Replication Target Selection Screen Click either From Master Unit or Select Preset File. This determines the source of the Presets to be copied. Preset Files would be files that you have previously stored in the computer running the Web GUI. You may add a descriptive name or version to the Presets being copied. This may aid in remembering what tag or version of the presets are available on the unit. The Preset name or version may be up to 10 characters in length.
Remote Monitor Click on the Remote Monitor page to provide a live view of the audio bar graph and Loudness meters for the current preset. There are two tabs, Audio Meters and Dolby Metadata. Audio Meters The following figure shows the Audio Meters tab. Figure 4–19: Remote Monitor Audio Meters The left side of the screen shows the level meters for the currently selected input source.
Dolby Metadata The following figures show various Dolby metadata tabs that might be presented.

System Setup The System Setup page expands upon the status information available in the Dashboard page, showing the installed option licenses, and provides a means to add additional option licenses. It consists of three tabs, each of which is explained in the sections which follow: System Information The System Setup | System Information tab provides basic information for this iAM-12G-SDI. It is shown in Figure 4-25.
SFP Information For certain I/O modules, the System Setup page will also display the Hardware/Vitals status for each module. The examples in Figures 4-26 and 4-27, show the status of the module in SFP Slot 1. The actual information listed in each of these tabs depends upon the module itself, but these figures show some of the types of information and details available.
Figure 4–27: System Setup: SFP Information iAM-12G-SDI Page 101
Licenses The System Setup | Licenses tab shows the license keys for each of the optional features installed in this iAM-12G-SDI. You may also use this tab to enter new license keys, or enable some license keys. This tab is shown in Figure 4-28. Figure 4–28: System Setup: Licenses The example above shows an iAM-12G-SDI with license keys for inputs and license keys for SFP modules installed. Licenses without keys will not have the box checked.
Configuration: Management IP Address Make network IP Address changes for Management (MGMT) Port of the local iAM-12G-SDI on the screen shown in Figure 4-29. This screen allows you to configure the management port IP address for the device. Note that after changing the IP address, the web interface should be loaded with the new IP address. If you select DHCP option, than the currently assigned IP address can be determined from the Front Panel - System Information screen on the iAM-12G-SDI.
Configuration: System Preferences The System Preferences selection contains the Loudness Configuration, Phase Indicator Configuration, Dolby Settings, and Front Panel Configuration tabs. They allow you to customize screens and measurements. They are explained in the following three sections: Loudness Configuration The Loudness Configuration tab is shown in Figure 4-30. Figure 4-30: Loudness Configuration Tab 1. Loudness Standards: Select from the available loudness standards: a. ITU BS1770-3/4 b.
a. Over: The Alarm indication will only appear when Loudness has exceeded the Reference Level by the Tolerance amount. b. Under: The Alarm indication will only appear when the Loudness has been below the Reference Level by the Tolerance amount. c. Both: The Alarm indication will appear when Loudness has exceeded the Reference Level by the Tolerance amount or has been below the Reference Level by the Tolerance amount. d. Off: The Alarm indication is turned off and will not appear. 6.
Phase Indicator Configuration The Phase Indicator Configuration tab is as shown in Figure 4-31. It allows you to select which channel pairs by default will receive a phase meter on the Metering Screen. Generally, it is useful to monitor the relative phase of stereo pairs. However, sometimes each channel of a pair is unrelated to each other.
Dolby Settings The Dolby Settings tab is shown in Figure 4-32. There are four sections under the Dolby Settings tab: Decoder Configuration, DD+ Configuration, ED2 Configuration, and Loudness Setup. The settings in these sections are explained following this figure. Figure 4–32: Dolby Settings Tab Decoder Configuration 1. Speaker Configuration: This setting defines the output speaker configuration in a range from 2.0 to 7.1.4. This setting is reflected in channel descriptions of the audio level meters.
4. Dolby Surround Upmix: The Dolby Surround Upmix option upmixes channel-based content, but does not apply to audio objects. This setting applies to Dolby Digital Plus bitstreams only. To enable Dolby Surround Upmix, the Dolby Atmos Decode option must be turned On. Set the Dolby Surround Upmix switch to On to enable to enable the Dolby Surround Upmix option. Set the switch to Off to disable to disable the Dolby Surround Upmix option. DD+ Configuration 1.

Configuration: Import/Export Presets Use the Import / Export Presets page to manage the Preset database in the iAM12G-SDI. You may export the Preset database onto the computer hard drive for security backup purposes or as a means to transfer it to another iAM-12G-SDI. Likewise, it can be used to import a Preset database from the computer hard drive into the iAM-12G-SDI.
Export Configuration Use the following steps to save the Preset configuration in the iAM-12G-SDI to the computer hard drive: 1. If you need to, revise the Preset Tag name, observing the advice in the advice in the previous section. 2. Click the Export button on the Import / Export Presets page, as shown in Figure 4-33. 3. A small Verify window will appear: 4. Click Yes to proceed with writing the Preset data to the hard drive. The copying will proceed.
Figure 4–39: Database Import System: Factory Reset The Factory Reset function should be used with caution. It deletes all of the settings you have programmed into the system. It returns the system to the way it was when received new from the factory. After using this function, you will need to reprogram everything from the start or else import a Database or the Presets that you had previously saved. Refer to the Database Management section of this chapter.
System: Reboot System The Reboot System page allows you to reboot an iAM-12G-SDI remotely. The Reboot System page is shown in Figure 4-41. This function is normally only used upon request from Wohler Technical Service to troubleshoot or correct an issue. The Reboot System function should be used with a bit of caution. It puts the iAM12G-SDI out of service for a minute while it is rebooting, and this may unexpectedly interfere with the use of the product by the remote operator.
APPENDIX A: Software Upgrades Introduction This chapter describes how to download a software update file to your computer, transfer it to a USB flash drive and install the updated into an iAM-12G-SDI. Download the Software The iAM-12G-SDI software update can be found at http://www.wohler.com, under Product Downloads on the Products > iAM-12G-SDI page, in Support > Downloads > Drivers & Software, or contact Wohler Customer Support for more information.

APPENDIX B: Dante Network Setup Introduction Installing the iAM-12G-SDI into an existing and functioning Dante network is virtually plug and play. The iAM rear panel AoIP jack supports 1Gb/s and 100Mb/s Ethernet devices in Dante Audio over IP network configurations. iAM-12G-SDI channel source selections are made by choosing Input Type ‘AoIP’ in the Configuration-Configure Presets page regardless of which AoIP option is installed.
additional settable parameters on the card can be reconfigured to be compatible with the Dante network addressing and other parameters as necessary. When the unit is rebooted on the Dante network, the card will be seen by the Dante Controller used to manage the overall network. If the Dante Controller Device Info tab detects the card but does not allow modification and full presentation of card internals, the Card ID will be shown in red, e.g.
DanteTM Device Setup The iAM-12G-SDI’s default Dante Device Name is “BKLYN-II- …” followed by the last 6 digits of the Dante port MAC address, as shown in Figure B-2. This name can be changed by the Dante Controller to appear that way on the network, but that will not change the iAM-12G-SDI’s unit name appearing on GUI pages and iAM12G-SDI Remote Metering or Discovery pages.
Other changes such as Latency settings can be made by the Dante Controller through the Device View menus. Some changes may require remote rebooting of the Brooklyn II card to take effect, temporarily interrupting audio and publishing the new information to the network. Important:I Only 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz audio sample rates are currently supported by the iAM-12G-SDI.
AES67 The iAM-12G-SDI Brooklyn II can be configured for AES67 operation. AES67 operation with Dante is limited to eight or less receive and transmit channels at 48 kHz sample rates. 24 bit linear (L24) encoding and 1 msec packet time are fixed default transmit parameters. 16 bit (L16) or 24 bit (L24) encoding and 125/250/333/100 µsec packet times can be received. The Device View - AES67 Config menu enables/disables AES67.
Figure B–6: Device View - Network Config The channels to be multicast are selected in the File menu-Create Multicast Flows window shown in Figure B-7. Figure B–7: Multicast Device Lock Audinate recently added a feature whereby a remote controller can send a command to lock Dante network device configurations. The iAM-12G-SDI does not implement the Device Lock command at this time.
Dante Firmware Upgrades Wohler iAM-12G-SDI monitors ship with current Brooklyn II firmware as of the option installation date. The version information is found in the Dante Controller Device View-Status page. iAM software/firmware is tested with the latest Dante code release. Therefore it is strongly recommended that iAM-12G-SDI and Dante software/ firmware be updated at the same time to ensure compatibility and support of the latest features.
APPENDIX D: Ravenna (ZMAN) Setup Introduction Installing the iAM-12G-SDI into an existing and functioning Ravenna network using the Merging ZMAN Card is virtually plug and play. The iAM rear panel AoIP jack supports 1Gb/s and 100Mb/s Ethernet devices in Ravenna Audio over IP network configurations. iAM-12G-SDI channel source selections are made by choosing Input Type ‘AoIP’ in the Configuration-Configure Presets page regardless of which AoIP option is installed.

item View is enabled. Do not proceed until the card shows on Aneman. Right click on that line and select Web Services: Advanced (or Ravenna) to bring up the Merging Ravenna configuration page. Also, the ICON of the card will appear in the main part of the Aneman screen. Double Clicking on the ICON also will load the Configuration screen. For browser access, the URL is .x/advanced/index.html. This brings up the Merging Ravenna configuration page.
Getting Started | PTP This tab is shown in the following figure. This configuration page refers to how your Ravenna network is synchronized to clocks. Figure D-2: Getting Started | PTP The elements of this tab are as follows: 1. Global Settings: The default value for PTP a. Domain: For the Merging Ravenna card this value is 0. b. DSCP: 46 for PTP AES67 or 48 for PTP Ravenna. 2. Master: To modify the PTP setting, you must first check the "Manual" checkbox. a. Priority: 1 is the main priority value. b.
3. Status: a. Lock: This shows if the device is locked to PTP (Locked -Locking Unlocked) b. Master: This is true or false for the current device. c. GMID: This is the current GrandMasterID (PTP Master) d. Delta (ns): This is the time delta between the device and the PTP master. 4. Graph: The graph is only active for slave devices and shows the device delta against Master PTP clock. 5. PTP Priority Value: a. 1 is the highest priority, 255 the lowest one. b.
8. Payload type: RTP Payload type - This value should not be modified. 9. Codec: The possible bit rate values are L24, L16, DSD64, DSD64_32, DSD128, DSD128_32, and DSD256. Note that these values are sampling rate dependent. 10.Frame size (samples): This the frame size of the current source. 11.DSCP: The audio DSCP should be set to 34 for RTP AES67 or 46 for RTP Ravenna. 12.
5. Manual: This allows manual entry of an SDP. 6. Delay (samples): This sets the playback delay. 0 is automatic delay. 7. Ignore RefClk GMID - accept source locked to any PTP master: This feature is useful when you want to connect a stream through Internet (for example with two PTP Masters (GPS) at each location. This allows making of connections with devices locked to different traceable PTP Masters. See RefClk PTP traceable on the Session Sources tab. 8.
Getting Started | Ins/Outs This tab allows you to change the name of the specific Inputs and/or Outputs. Figure D-5: Getting Started | Ins/Outs Getting Started | I/O Router This page allows remapping of incoming channels to different internal channel assignments. For example, Stream channel 1 can be remapped to Merging card Channel 0, and so on.
Operation: Connecting Remote Source to Local Sink This instruction assumes another Ravenna device is active on the network and sourcing a multicast stream. The Merging Configuration section for Session Sink controls how to configure the card to receive the stream and provide it to the IAM interface for display on meters and speakers, etc. The iAM-12G-SDI must be set to receive AOIP from the Source Select Front Panel menu or a browser iAM-12G-SDI GUI.
Figure D-7: Session Sinks Tab To avoid confusion if monitoring more than one Flow, especially if the various source Flows have overlapping channel numbers, use the matrix to direct Flows to higher channel ranges. For example, for monitoring 2 SDI sources (four 8 channel Flows), assign two flows to 1-8 and 9-16 and the next SDI signal to 17-24 and 2532. Touch the iAM-12G-SDI AOIP selection menu to select the proper range to monitor, up to 57-64.
ZMAN Session Sources If the ZMAN card is to Source Flows, use the Session Sources tab. Refer to Figure D-8. The procedure is similar to defining Sinks with the additional step to provide the Flow a name to appear on other units in the network. Select the channel range with a maximum of 8 channels per Flow. Figure D-8: Session Sources Tab ZMAN Updating The Zman card is pre-initialized with the correct Wohler firmware load. In case of future upgrades, use the following steps: 1.
APPENDIX E: API Documentation Introduction This appendix discusses ways to use the Application Program Interface (API) to allow third party equipment to remotely access options and settings of the iAM12G-SDI. It includes specific code examples for commonly used requests. The API uses JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) as its communication language. Follow the instructions in the First Time IP Assignments section of Chapter 4 to achieve the required network connection. API: Presets 1.
