Routing streams

Learn how to create stream-to-audio input routings for Dante and RAVENNA protocols, as well as processor outputs-to-sender streams routings when setting up third-party speakers. The routing must be handled differently depending on the system's active AoIP setting. The two sections below explain the process and its differences.

Receiver (Rx) streams to Audio Input routing

Routing with RAVENNA

1. Follow the steps mentioned in Routing streams to subscribe to RAVENNA streams.

2. In Routing › Audio Inputs, you can connect channels from the subscribed streams to desired audio inputs. Some advice for working with this view:

   1. You can access more information about the beams connected to audio inputs by simply clicking the name in the Audio Inputs header of the routing matrix. This will present you with a panel listing all presets with beams connected to the audio input.

   2. Access more information about the Receiver streams by simply clicking the name in the Receiver Streams table or the Stream name in the routing matrix. This will display a side panel listing all the stream's properties and the stream monitor status, if a backup stream is assigned.

   3. You can perform a diagonal routing by holding Ctrl (Windows) and Cmd ⌘ (MacOS) while hovering over the routing matrix.

   4. To view the number of active connections, toggle the switch (show # of connections) at the top of the routing matrix.

Dante

When working with Dante-configured systems, the process is split between Dante Controller and HOLOPLOT Control.

Connecting Dante devices to Audio Modules in Dante Controller

You can use Dante's Multicast Flows to connect your source devices to our Audio Modules in Dante Controller. Ensure the Multicast Flows are connected to all HOLOPLOT Audio Modules in your system.

Connecting Dante channels to audio inputs in HOLOPLOT Control

The process is similar to the one used for routing in Ravenna. You will see a single Dante stream that includes all 256 Dante channels. From there, you can proceed to route the audio inputs as desired.

This approach enables quick channel mapping changes in one place, eliminating the need for constant back-and-forth in complex multicast routing across multiple modules.

Processor outputs to Sender (Tx) streams routing

In a Project with third-party speakers, processor outputs should be routed to the correct channels of Sender streams, which are then transmitted to the network. This routing is crucial for ensuring that the audio signals are correctly mapped and transmitted to the intended destinations, such as third-party speakers or other audio devices.

1. Follow the steps mentioned in Routing streams to create and assign RAVENNA Sender streams to HOLOPLOT Processors.

2. In Routing › Processor_name, you can connect the processor outputs available in the Project to the channels of the created Sender streams. Some advice for working with this view:

   1. You can access more information about the streams by simply clicking the name in the Sender Streams table or the Stream name in the routing matrix. This will display a side panel listing all the stream's properties.

   2. You can perform a diagonal routing by holding Ctrl (Windows) and Cmd ⌘ (MacOS) while hovering over the routing matrix.

   3. To view the number of active connections, toggle the switch (show # of connections) at the top of the routing matrix.
