DirectOut RAV.SG.SRC.IO

RAV.SG.SRC.IO is a dual audio network module for the series of PRODIGY i MAVEN.A enabling support for a 64-channel RAVENNA stream and a 64-channel SoundGrid stream.

One module, two audio engines

The module equipped with two audio network cards offers 2 x 64 different audio protocols - RAVENNA and SoundGrid. This allows connection to two audio protocols in one A-slot of the MAVEN.A or PRODIGY.MC device. With two A-slots on the PRODIGY.MP device, the range can be extended to include a third and even a fourth audio protocol.

Sample Rate Conversion

A custom HD SRC chip for bidirectional sample rate conversion is built in as standard.
The two audio network cards can operate at different sample rates.
Dual network modules provide a seamless connection between clock boundaries and different audio protocols in a single module.

Redundant streams

There are 2 x 2 independent network interfaces to connect each protocol via a second stream (primary/secondary or Port 1 / Port 2).

The number of audio channels per protocol is reduced at higher sampling rates - 32 channels at 2 FS or 16 channels at 4 FS (SoundGrid supports only 1 FS and 2 FS).

RAVENNA is an open audio networking technology initially developed by ALC NetworX.
DirectOut's own implementation of RAVENNA is based on more than a decade of development.

As a participant in the JT-NM Tested program, RAV.IO is listed in the JT-NM Tested catalog as a SMPTE 2110 compliant module.

SoundGrid is the company's audio networking technology Waves based on Layer 2 Ethernet.
