SSM Mode

SSM (Source-Specific Multicast), which is a stream reception method, can be enabled.

Use this when the connected network uses IGMPv3.

Options: Enable, Disable (default)

Aneman Mode

Set the ANEMAN control mode.

Aneman Mode	Description
Receivers Only Mode (default)	This limits the control extent of this card using ANEMAN to destination streams. Use this WebUI to create source streams.
Dual Group Receivers	This limits the control extent of this card using ANEMAN to destination streams, but input and output name changes are possible.
Full Duplex	This makes the control extent of this card using ANEMAN include both source and destination streams.

NOTE

ANEMAN, which was created by Merging Technologies and Digigram, is an audio network connection monitoring and management system application. It can be downloaded for free from the homepage of Merging Technologies.

https://www.merging.com/products/aneman/downloads

Depending on the ANEMAN version, one-to-many connections might not be supported, and source streams will be duplicated to the same number as there are reception nodes. In this case, this can be prevented by using the “Receivers Only Mode” setting, which limits the control extent of this card using ANEMAN to destination streams.

Tips

Maximum codec and channel numbers

In SMPTE ST 2110-30, which this card complies with, the size of audio data in a single stream is limited to 1440 bytes.

This audio data size, which is the RTP payload length in Ethernet frames, is determined with the following formula.

Payload Length =	B	× S ×	P	× C	(Formula-1)
	8		106

The parameters in this formula are as follows.

B: Bit depth [bit] (examples: 16, 24, 32)

S: Sampling frequency [Hz] (examples: 44100, 48000, 96000)

P: Packet time [µs] (examples: 125, 1000)

C: Number of channels per stream

Before creating a stream, set B, S, P and C so that “Payload Length” does not exceed 1440.

Alternatively, determine the number of channels per stream (C) based on the requirements (B, S, P) of the network system being built.

This card, however, has a maximum number of channels per stream (C), which is 64 when the sampling frequency is 48 kHz or 32 when 96 kHz.

The following table lists ranges of channel numbers per stream for each codec in accordance with the SMPTE ST 2110-30 Conformance Level.

AES67 (L16/L24) AM824 (Legacy/AES3 Transparent)	SMPTE LEVEL
Sampling frequency, packet time	A	AX	B	BX	C	CX
48 kHz, 1 msec	1 to 8 channels	1 to 8 channels	1 to 8 channels	1 to 8 channels	1 to 8 channels	1 to 8 channels
48 kHz, 125 usec			1 to 8 channels	1 to 8 channels	1 to 64 channels	1 to 64 channels
96 kHz, 1 msec		1 to 4 channels		1 to 4 channels		1 to 4 channels
96 kHz, 125 usec				1 to 8 channels		1 to 32 channels

AES67 ( L32)	SMPTE LEVEL
Sampling frequency, packet time	A	AX	B	BX	C	CX
48 kHz, 1 msec	1 to 7 channels	1 to 7 channels	1 to 7 channels	1 to 7 channels	1 to 7 channels	1 to 7 channels
48 kHz, 125 usec			1 to 8 channels	1 to 8 channels	1 to 60 channels	1 to 60 channels
96 kHz, 1 msec		1 to 3 channels		1 to 3 channels		1 to 3 channels
96 kHz, 125 usec				1 to 8 channels		1 to 30 channels

Maximum number of streams for this card

This card has a maximum number of streams that can be created.

This maximum value is determined using the following formula.

Maximum Stream = min {	512	, 128}	(Formula-2)
	C

The parameters in this formula are as follows.

B: Bit depth [bit] (examples: 16, 24, 32)

S: Sampling frequency [Hz] (examples: 44100, 48000, 96000)

P: Packet time [µs] (examples: 125, 1000)

C: Number of channels per stream

If the combination of parameters would cause the Payload Length determined in Formula-1 to exceed 1440, however, streams would not be able to be created, so the maximum number of streams cannot be defined.

Example maximum numbers of streams for this card
P [µs]	S [Hz]	B [bit]	C	Maximum number of streams
125	48	24	2	128
125	48	24	4	128

Buffer time adjustment range

This card is compliant with SMPTE ST 2022-7, and the buffer time when changing transmission routing with PORT 1 and PORT 2 can be adjusted.

The adjustment range is as follows.

250 µs – 4000 µs (when the packet time setting is 125 µs)

2000 µs – 32000 µs (when the packet time setting is 1000 µs)

NOTE

Increasing the buffer time reduces the chance of packet loss when changing transmission routing, but it also increases transmission delay.

Decreasing the buffer time increases the chance of packet loss when changing transmission routing, but it also reduces transmission delay.
