APPENDIX D: Ravenna (ZMAN) Setup
Introduction
Installing the iAM-12G-SDI into an existing and functioning Ravenna network using
the Merging ZMAN Card is virtually plug and play. The iAM rear panel AoIP jack
supports 1Gb/s and 100Mb/s Ethernet devices in Ravenna Audio over IP network
configurations.
iAM-12G-SDI channel source selections are made by choosing
Input Type
‘
AoIP
’
in the
Configuration-Configure Presets
page regardless of which AoIP option is
installed.
Note:
In addition to the iAM-12G-SDI configuration, the Merging ZMAN Card needs
to be configured using its own configuration tool. The menus in this configuration
tool are shown in this Appendix.
