AVB Out Component

The AVB Input and Output are on the same physical card but are represented in the Q-SYS design by an AVB Input Component and an AVB Output Component.

The AVB Output component provides an output up to 32 channels in 4 streams for devices supporting the AVB protocol. Other combinations of input/output are described in the Properties section below. Connection is made with CAT-5 / RJ-45 connector.

Controls

Each control listed in the Analog and Digital sections, are one per channel.

Stream

Control	Function	Default / Range
Channels	The Channel tabs switch between channel ranges. The available ranges depend on the Input/Output count in the Properties. The controls are the same for each stream.	Default = Channels 1-8 / 9-16 / 17-24 / 25-32

AVB

Control	Function	Default / Range
Peak Output Level (dBFS)	Measures Peak Output level to the output device for each channel.	Range = -120 to 20

Digital

Control	Function	Default / Range
Clip	Red LED indicating if the signal is being clipped.	Off / On
Clip Hold	Holds the clip indication until manually cleared.	Off / On
Invert	Inverts the audio signal.	Off / On
Mute	Mutes the digital audio signal.	Off / On
Gain	Controls the gain of the digital audio signal prior to the D/A converter.	Default = 21 Range = -10 to +21

Status

Control	Function	Default / Range
Status LED	This LED changes color to indicate the current status of the I/O-22 Output. See Status for the meanings of the various colors.	N / A
Status	Displays the current status of the amplifier both in text and color. The following is a list of possible status colors, and some example conditions. NOTE: These conditions are examples, and may not be applicable to all components with a Status field. OK – Green – (0) – Audio is good, hardware is good. Compromised – Orange – (1) – Audio is good but a redundancy mechanism is active (one LAN down but the other is still up) or a non-fatal hardware problem exists (fans too slow, temperature higher than expected, etc.) Fault – Red – (2) – Audio is not passing, or hardware is malfunctioning or mis-configured (amplifier power off, audio streams broken, wrong type of I/O Card installed, loudspeaker short circuit, etc.) Missing – Red – (3) – A piece of hardware, defined in the design, has not been discovered. Audio is not passing through that piece of hardware. Initializing – Blue – (5) – In the process of firmware, configuration update, and design start. Audio is obviously bad. Not Present – Gray – A virtual component in the design, that is designated as Dynamically Paired, and Not Required ,has no hardware assigned to it.	N / A

Talker Streams

Control	Function	Default / Range
Stream Prefix	Allows you to enter a 12-byte hex number of your choice. Typically the FSID is derived from the MAC address of the AVB card.	N / A
Stream Prefix Set Button	After entering the 12-byte hex number in the Stream Prefix file, press this button to "set" that number is the ID	N / A
Stream <n> Full ID (FSID)	Read only. The FSID of each Talker Stream is shown here. This is the stream Prefix with a 4-byte stream index appended. You can copy this value and paste it into an AVB Input component's Full Stream ID field.	N / A
