DirectOut has announced the RAV.IO and RAV.SRC.IO 256 channel-mode upgrade, and the NMOS Out-of-Band (NMOS OOB) network functionality upgrade, doubling the capacity of its network audio module. The module-bound licence upgrade means that licences can be installed on multiple host devices and will automatically activate only when the licenced RAV.SRC.IO or RAV.IO module is inserted. This increases the flexibility and performance of the Ravenna stack, being able to max out physical limits, while saving budget for increasing demands.
DirectOut’s HD SRC is also available onboard RAV.SRC.IO, ensuring seamless operation across clock boundaries while maintaining signal integrity with just 1ms latency.
A further addition to the DirectOut’s licencing is the NMOS OOB service. For many years, RAV.IO and RAV.SRC.IO modules have supported NMOS standards IS-04 and IS-05 for device discovery, registration and stream connection.
By adding the NMOS OOB licence to the Prodigy or Maven.A, additional access to the NMOS stack via the management network interface of the host device is granted. This allows system designers to integrate node discovery and stream configuration in a separate control network that is independent of the media network.
‘Our Ravenna implementation relies on more than ten years of development,’ says DirectOut Chief Technology Officer, Claudio Becker-Foss. ‘This latest functionality is particularly interesting in combination with DirectOut’s Prodigy.MX, as it unleashes the full power of the large routing matrix inside.’
