For more details on Peering, please consult Anubis User manual
Peering has been designed to easily increase the Anubis I/O without having to use external system (PC or MAC) or applications such as ANEMAN. As long as those devices are from Merging and given that they are on the same RAVENNA network and running the same firmware generation, you will be able to discover and peer those devices modules from Anubis.
In this kind of setup, the Anubis is expected to be the centerpiece of the configuration.
Regarding sampling rate, it means that Anubis is the sampling rate master.
It will send its sampling rate to the peered device(s) when establishing the peering connection, or when you change its sampling rate.
Note: if the sampling rate on the peered device changes, Anubis will not set it back until you re-establish a peering connection or change the Anubis sampling rate.
Note: The Auto Sampling Rate feature don't need to be activated on the peered device.
Syncing on an external clock
If you need to sync your configuration on an external clock (AES, MADI, Wordclock,…), you will have to use the peered device connectivity.
In the Anubis Settings > General, disable the PTP Master option.
Note :
This step is required because only the Master PTP device can be synced on an external clock.
The PTP status may remain on Master, this is not a problem at this step.In the peered device, set it to sync on the external clock.
Auto Sampling rate
See ANUBIS-1425
This is not working, because it’s not the way peering has been designed !!!!
When peering, the Anubis is expected to be the SR master, and it sends its SR to the satellite device (Hapi in this case).
The Anubis is sending its SR to the satellite device 1 time, if the satellite does not follow or change its SR afterwards, it will not send it back.
This is to avoid SR going back and forth on the satellite if 2 Anubis running at different sampling rates are peering the same satellite device.
WORKAROUND
On the satellite, create a source (1 channel is sufficient), and in connect it to a Anubis Sink. If Auto SR is ON on the Anubis, it will follow the satellite sampling rate.
BUT, in such case, you can no longer control the satellite SR from the Anubis, it has to be changed on the satellite (which in the case of a satellite Hapi synced on a wordclock and following it, should be fine.
(Or simply use Aneman SR zone)
Thank you, I've asked because peering works in a slightly different way than "standard" stream connections.
