3 3.2 AVB-D 16 Owner’s Manual Network Setup Recommended Network Setup Example 3 Network Setup The AVB-D 16 bridges between two different audio network protocols: AVB and Dante. PreSonus recommends configuring each protocol as separate networks before using the AVB-D 16 to bridge them. This means that both the AVB and Dante networks should exist on their own switches and devices. Dante devices should not be connected to the AVB network switches and vice versa.
3 3.3 AVB-D 16 Owner’s Manual Network Setup Managing Each Network Managing Each Network 3.3 The AVB-16 D does not pass network data between the AVB and Dante networks, only audio. This means that managing network routing and clocking must be done independently. AVB network management for StudioLive Series III ecosystem products can be done from the Touch Display on the StudioLive Series III mixers or from UC Surface connected to the AVB Network using a Mac or Windows computer.
