Aviom AV-P2 - Manual (Page 10)


Pro16 Series Systems
A complete Pro16™ Series audio network system consists of at least
one Pro16 input module connected to at least one Pro16 output device
such as the AV-P2 Output Module, AN-16/o Output Module, or A-16II
Personal Mixer. Many configurations are possible by using additional
input modules and/or Personal Mixers and output modules.
About A-Net
Aviom’s A-Net® is a high-speed data transmission protocol. It is capable
of sending and receiving uncompressed, high-quality audio using
readily available Category 5 cables. A-Net technology is a proprietary
system developed by Aviom.
A-Net is based on Ethernet, a Local Area Network (or LAN) technology.
This provides A-Net with a mature and robust base on which to build.
However, because A-Net manages data in a way that ensures optimum
performance for audio, Aviom products are not compatible with off-
the-shelf computer products designed for Ethernet networks such as
hubs and switches.
As implemented in the Pro16 Series products, the A-Net signal carries
sixteen channels of digital data from a Pro16 input module to a Pro16
network device or output device, such as the AN-16/o Output Module or
A-16II Personal Mixer.
Some of the benefits of using A-Net to transmit digital audio are:
Virtually no latency
No ground loops
Easy cabling using readily available components
Easy expansion and reconfiguration of systems
An unlimited number of A-Net devices can be used in
a system
Long distances between system components
P N ote : While the Category 5 connectors and cables used with
your Aviom products look like typical computer network
connections, do not connect computers, routers, or other
home and business networking equipment to your Aviom
products.
