Reference
The flexible reference system allows for either video reference or word clock to be used to sync audio across multiple devices.

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.
  - Reference Setup
    - 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.

Reference Setup

The system can operate using an internally generated reference, external video reference, or external word clock. An external reference or word clock is provided by an external device to the system through the REF IN or WORD CLOCK BNC on the frame.
