Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the ASI A-Net® Systems Interface. This User
Guide is designed to familiarize you with the features and functions of your
new Pro64® product. All Pro64 products are powered by A‑Net®, Aviom’s
proprietary data transmission protocol designed especially for the unique
demands of live streaming audio.
In developing the Aviom Pro64 product line, we have made every effort
to make the user interface as easy to use and understand as possible. We
encourage you to read the manual completely, as some of the powerful
features of your new product may not be immediately apparent.
Features
The ASI A‑Net Systems Interface is designed to allow the interfacing of Pro16®
Series products with Pro64 Series products.
ASI A‑Net Systems Interface features:
Two bidirectional Pro64 A‑Net ports •
Four Pro16 A‑Net output ports •
• EtherCon® RJ45 network connectors
Up to 64 channels of Pro16 data can be output by the ASI A‑Net Systems
Interface, depending on the Pro64 sample rate. Pro16 outputs are in blocks
of 16 channels, allowing easy connectivity with Pro16 monitoring and audio
distribution devices.
All Pro16 devices operate in the 1x (44.1/48kHz) sample rate range regardless
of the current Pro64 sample rate setting.
The EtherCon Connector
Pro64 Series products feature locking connectors for all network I/O. The
Neutrik® EtherCon connector is a dual RJ45‑type connector that can receive
a standard Category 5e cable or a cable fitted with the special locking
EtherCon connector.
When using a standard Cat‑5e cable, plug the cable into the center of the
EtherCon jack; release the cable by pressing on the small plastic tab built into
the cable connector.
The locking EtherCon connector is similar to an XLR plug, the kind commonly
used on microphone cables. Insert an EtherCon‑equipped cable into the jack
until it clicks and locks in place. To remove the cable, press on the metal release
tab at the top of the panel‑mounted EtherCon jack and pull the connector
outward.
