Setting up system essentials

This page provides guidance on configuring system settings for optimal performance, with a focus on Audio over IP (AoIP) protocols and network redundancy.

Selecting an AoIP Protocol

HOLOPLOT provides Audio Modules with hardware options that support either the Dante or RAVENNA AoIP standards. The X1 MD96 and MD80-S models are available in both Dante and RAVENNA configurations, while the X2 MD30 model is exclusively offered in RAVENNA. In this section, we will guide you through setting up the system for these two distinct protocols.

Toggling between Dante and RAVENNA

1. On the navigation bar, click Settings › System Settings.

2. You can use the section inside the settings page to toggle between the two standards. Make sure to select the AoIP standard that matches your active HOLOPLOT Audio Module system.

Dante

• Network and Clock configuration and routing between Dante transmitters and HOLOPLOT Audio Modules will happen inside Dante Controller.

• Routing of the Dante channels into audio inputs will happen inside HOLOPLOT Control.

RAVENNA

• Network Configuration and Clock configuration will happen inside HOLOPLOT Control.

• Stream management and stream routing will happen inside HOLOPLOT Control.

Network redundancy

A HOLOPLOT system can be configured with or without network redundancy. This affects how network statuses appear in the Device List. With redundancy enabled, both networks are considered when calculating the Network status for controllers and modules.

To configure network redundancy, go to Settings › System Settings and check the Secondary Network box under Audio Networking and Hardware.

Module's LED indicators

The LEDs on any module type provide information about the module's general state, including health (left) and power (right).

The Settings › System Settings page in Control contains an Always On toggle that changes the behavior of all modules' LEDs in an active system. This toggle can be useful for quickly diagnosing the status.

Always On (disabled)

• Used for regular operation.

• LEDs are visible during power status changes, then return to OFF.

• Clicking the Blink icon will flash the LEDs for 2 seconds for identification. Once the blinking sequence is finished, the LEDs will return to an OFF state.

Always On (enabled)

• Useful when setting up a system for the first time.

• All loudspeaker module LEDs are constantly ON and show their current health and power status.

• Clicking the Blink icon will flash the LEDs for 2 seconds for identification. Once the blinking sequence is finished, the LEDs will return to an ON state.
