6.9 diamond - Stream Selection
On a Ravenna source, it is possible to select a stream from the network using the fader strip rotary control and soft keys.
This allows you to change which streams are active in the mix quickly and easily.
Stream Naming & Organization
To support this feature, streams must be announced to the network using the following naming convention:
"Group:Stream". When using dynamic input switching, this provides a two-step navigation process: first select the Group,
and then browse through all available Streams within that Group. Both the Group and Stream labels can be up to 8
characters.
By default, the labels are retrieved automatically from the network. Streams with the same Group name are combined into a
single Group even if they are provided by different devices. The list presented to the operator is updated automatically so
that newly discovered streams are added, and streams that can no longer be detected are
erased.
To prevent access to certain streams, filters can be applied in the configuration.
In cases where streams cannot be named using the above convention, it is possible to map specific streams to pre-
configured labels. In this instance, the list of streams presented to the operator is fixed and is independent of stream
availability.
Operation
1.
On
a Ravenna source, press down on the fader strip rotary control to step through the parameters until you reach the
stream selection menu.
The display shows either the current Group and Stream name, or the text "not in pool".
2.
Turn
the rotary control to scroll through the available Groups and press down to make a selection.
3.
Turn
the rotary control again to scroll through all available Streams with that
Group.
If your network supports dynamic stream detection, then the list of available streams updates automatically.
4.
Once
you are happy with the selection, press the
Take
key to start the subscription process.
There will be a brief pause in the audio while the streaming connection is configured. During this time, the connection status
is shown in the fader strip Source Display. The meaning of each message is described in the table below.
If a stream is being received for the first time, then the tuning process can take a couple of seconds. The initial tuning
information is then re-used whenever you select the same stream, thereby speeding up all subsequent
connections.
