Setup
Reference and audio I/O setup, networking, and audio mixer configuration.
Audio Inputs
Audio sources come into the system through embedded audio (SDI), analog XLRs (XLR-Analog-Input only), MADI (SFP), or audio over network (AoIP or Dante®). Internal mixer outputs can also be used as sources.
To Set up the Quick Listen Device
The quick listen allows you to listen to a pre-mix input on a selected output.

Setup
Reference and audio I/O setup, networking, and audio mixer configuration.
- Network Setup
  The control network connection for the AudioEdge™ XLR-Analog-Input/Output is separate from the AoIP Primary and Secondary ports and allows you to interface with the system, manage setup files, and collect logs.
- System Access
  Enable or disable system access and control methods such as FTP.
- Reference
  The flexible reference system allows for either video reference or word clock to be used to sync audio across multiple devices.
- Audio Inputs
  Audio sources come into the system through embedded audio (SDI), analog XLRs (XLR-Analog-Input only), MADI (SFP), or audio over network (AoIP or Dante®). Internal mixer outputs can also be used as sources.
  - To Set up the Quick Listen Device
    The quick listen allows you to listen to a pre-mix input on a selected output.
  - To Set up an SDI Audio Input
    Embedded audio inputs come into the system through the To Frame HD BNCs.
  - To Set up an Analog Audio Input
    Analog audio inputs come into the system through the XLR ports on the front of the frame.
  - To Set up a MADI Input
    MADI audio inputs come into the system through the MADI SFP port.
  - To Set up a Network/Dante® Audio Input (AoIP)
    Network audio inputs come into the system through the AoIP Primary and Secondary ports on the rear of the frame.
  - To Set up a Mix Input
    Outputs of the audio mixer can be used as inputs.
- Audio Outputs
  Audio sources come out of the system through embedded audio (SDI), analog XLRs (XLR-Analog-Output only), MADI (SFP), or audio over network (AoIP/Dante®). Internal mixer outputs can also be used as output sources.
- Licenses
  Software options allows you to expand the functionality or resources available to the system. These options can either be licensed at the time you purchase your system, purchased and installed later on, or temporarily licensed through the Ross Platform Manager (RPM).
- GPI Control (XLR-Analog-Output Only)
  General Purpose Interface (GPI) is a high/low voltage signalling protocol that allows the system to send simple commands to an external device, or receive commands from a device. Each pin on the GPI is set as either high (+5 Volts), or low (0 Volts), and it is the switching between high and low that sends commands to the external device, or to the system.
- MIDI Controller
  The MIDI controller is used to control the RAVE audio mixer. The controller connects to RAVE through DashBoard.

To Set up the Quick Listen Device

The quick listen allows you to listen to a pre-mix input on a selected output.

Tip:

Press and hold the Listen button for an input to route that input signal to the selected Quick Listen Device output.

Click Navigation Menu > Configuration > Audio Inputs > SDI.

Note:
The quick listen device settings are used for all inputs and can be set up on any of the Audio Inputs menus.
Click Quick Listen Device and select the outputs you want to use for the listen device. XLR-Analog-Output shown.

Important:
The Quick Listen feature will temporarily override the audio signal on the selected outputs. Ensure that the outputs are available before assigning them as the Quick Listen device.

Note:
Audio inputs are automatically grouped into Left and Right stereo pairs. For each stereo pair, the lower number is assigned to the Left channel and the higher number is assigned to the right channel. For example, for inputs 5 and 6, channel 5 is assigned as the Left channel and 6 as the Right channel.
- SDI [15/16] — signals are embedded on channels 15 and 16 of the SDI output.
- Analog [13/14] (XLR-Analog-Output only) — signals are inserted on analog outputs 13 and 14.
- Headphones [L/R] (XLR-Analog-Output only) — signals are inserted on the Headphones output.
- MADI [63/64] — signals are inserted on MADI outputs 63 and 64.
- DANTE [63/64] — signals are inserted on Dante® outputs 63 and 64.
