the Synchronous mode turns off sample rate conver-
sion thereby reducing the delay at the input by ap
-
proximately 3 msec. Primarily useful for use with
digital microphones or for purist applications.
The Configure Destinations (Local Out-
puts) Page
The page permits entering information related to this
node’s local outputs. For example these can be named,
and for each you can assign a Livewire stream from the
network to be output.
The Sources screen for the 8x8 Analog and 8x8 AES
nodes are slightly different. The Analog 8x8 Node Des-
tinations screen is shown below:
Destination Name
This is the name used to identify this destination (lo
-
cal output) within the Livewire network. Destination
names are primarily used by Router software such as
Axia Pathfinder PC.
Destination Channel
These are Livewire channels to be output from each
local output. If the channel to be output is not yet avail-
able on the network, you can enter the channel number
here. In the usual case you can click on the choose chan
-
nel button to the right of this field, and the following
Select Source screen will be displayed, see below.
You can now click on the name or channel number
of the desired source to assign it to this Destination (lo-
cal output). If a Livestream (e.g. a low delay stream) is
available this will be used, otherwise a Standard Stream
will be used.
Destination Type
There are four choices for this setting. Usually you
will use From Source (Livestream) for delay sensitive
audio (such as microphones or headphone feeds) or
From Source (Standard Stream) for non-delay sensitive
cases.
You will recall from the Introduction to Livewire;
System Design Reference & Primer manual that Livewire
permits special bi-directional streams for use with cases
where a source and destination are associated, such as a
codec or hybrid. The return feed
to such devices is usually a mix-
minus (clear feed) generated by a
mixer or mix engine fed back to
the device that is the primary au-
dio source (and usually the name
of the stream in question). In ef
-
fect you have thus created a bi-di
-
rectional Livewire channel with a
single channel number.
What does this all mean in
practice? If the destination is a
codec or hybrid you’ll set the Des-
tination Type to To Source and use
the same Channel number as the
stream representing the Codec or
Hybrids output (the caller or far
end codec audio).
