The AVN-CU4-RAV was designed from the ground up to be totally flexible in operation. The use of RAVENNA/AES67 AoIP means that inputs and outputs can be added as required (up to a max of 16 per unit). Any physical input can be combined, mixed, and routed to any output, giving you complete flexibility to create fully customisable cross-points. Additionally you can choose which of those cross-points need to be controlled by the use of rotary encoders. Using a built-in web GUI, up to 48 encoders (8 nameable pages of 6 rotary encoders) can be assigned to inputs, outputs or cross-points. Encoders can control the volume and pan of headphones and volume of the assigned inputs, outputs or cross-points. Each rotary encoder has a separate colour-coded meter section showing the channel name, detailed level metering and left/right panning on a bright daylight reading display. The colours are configurable to quickly identify particular source groups, so headphone source selection becomes intuitive.
