Reference and audio I/O setup, networking, and audio mixer configuration.
Reference
The flexible reference system allows for either video reference or word clock to be used to sync audio across multiple devices.
Reference Setup
To Set an Audio Reference Source
The audio reference source selects where the clock signal that is used to synchronize the audio signals originates from.

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.

    - Audio Reference/Clock Source
    - To Set an Audio Reference Source
      The audio reference source selects where the clock signal that is used to synchronize the audio signals originates from.
- 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.
- 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 an Audio Reference Source

The audio reference source selects where the clock signal that is used to synchronize the audio signals originates from.

Important:

The system can only lock to one clock signal at a time. Ensure you are using the correct clock signal for the audio sources you want to use.

Note:

A Dante® license is required to use PTP with the Dante Controller.

Click Navigation Menu > Configuration > Reference.
Click the Audio Reference button for the source of the clock signal you want use.
- Internal — the Dante Controller uses PTP as either a leader or follower connected to the AoIP network port. Embedded SDI audio is not supported.
- Word Clock — the Dante Controller uses the word clock signal connected to the WORD CLOCK IN port. Embedded SDI audio is not supported.
- Video Reference — the system uses the dedicated genlock video reference signal connected to the REF IN port, or the timing of the embedded audio connected to the TO FRAME SDI IN port. The Dante Controller must sync to external.
If you selected Video Reference, you must select the format and source of the reference signal.
- Video Mode — select SD|HD or the specific UHDTV1 format for the incoming reference signal.
- Video Reference — select REF IN to use the genlock signal connected to the Ref In port, or FRAME IN to use the format of video with the embedded audio connected to the TO FRAME port.
