  • First connect the COMMAND port to your data network.
    This network configuration can be accessed on the unit front display, and can be set to DHCP or static IP depending on your needs.
    Please refer to Dolby documentation for further details.
    The command network is only required to configure the device, it can be removed once the configuration is finished.
  • Connect the DOLBY ATMOS CONNECT OUT to your Audio/AES67 network



    Note :
  • To avoid IP addresses issues, make sure the two networks uses different IP addresses range.
    Please consult this page for help on configuring IP addresses.
  • Audio/AES67 network should not be mixed with other networks, and network switches must be properly configured.
    Merging keeps a list of validated switches for RAVENNA/AES67 networks, with configuration guides to help you set it up.
    Please follow this link to view the list and configuration guides.

CP850 Configuration

  1. Open the CP850 WebApp in your browser, by typing its Command IP address, and enter your login credentials.
    Tip : the command IP address can be found on the device front panel display, in the Network menu.
  2. Go in System > Preferences and set the Dolby Atmos Connect Protocol to AES67.


  3. Go in System > Network and configure the Dolby Atmos Input.
    Set the IP configuration to manual, and enter valid IP address and Netmask.  (Gateway can be left to 0.0.0.0)
    Disable jumbo frames option should be ticked.
    Please click on Apply.
    In our example we will use the 169.254.21.120 address and 255.255.0.0 mask.


  4. Now switch to the Dolby Atmos Connect tab.
    Make sure legacy mode option is unticked
  5. Set the Static Source IP (= CP850 AES67 IP address)
  6. PTP Domain Number should be set to 0, and both PTP priorities set to 100.
    This will elect the CP850 as PTP GrandMaster.
  7. Destination multicast IP : the destination device multicast IP address.
    In our example, the Merging device IP is 169.254.25.20, which according to audio networking convention its Multicast IP is 239.1.25.20
  8. Source UDP Ports (1-8, 9-16, 17-24,....): 6517, 6519, 6521,...
    RTP destination UDP ports (1-8, 9-16, 17-24,....): 6518, 6520, 6522, ....
    Please click on Apply.

  1. Download our SDP example and open it in a Text editor (notepad or notepad++).
    We will now have to adapt it to your network configuration.

    v=0no modification
    o=- 1 0 IN IP4 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXXEnter your Dolby Atmos Connect IP (Point 5 in the CP850 Configuration section above)
    In our example :
    o=- 1 0 IN IP4 169.254.21.120
    s=LABELOFYOURSINKEnter your Sink Label, in our example :
    s=CP850_1
    c=IN IP4 239.1.XXX.XXXXXX Enter the Destination Multicast IP you did enter in Dolby Atmos Connect page 
    (Point 7 in the CP850 Configuration section above), in our example :
    c=IN IP4 239.1.25.20
    t=0

    m=audio RTPPORTDESTINATION RTP/AVP 96RTPPORTDESTINATION is the RTP Destination UDP Port defined in the CP850.
    (Point 8 in the CP850 Configuration section above)
    In our example :
    m=audio 6518 RTP/AVP 96  for channels 1 to 8
    m=audio 6520 RTP/AVP 96  for channels 9 to 16

    a=rtpmap:96 L24/48000/8
    a=sync-time:0
    a=framecount:48
    a=ptime:1

    		no modification
    a=ts-refclk:ptp=IEEE1588-2008:MASTERGMID

    MASTERGMID is the PTPMaster ID, that we have noted previously in the
    Advanced pages > PTP tab > Status section.
    In our example :
    a=ts-refclk:ptp=IEEE1588-2008:00-D0-46-FF-FF-02-C2-B6:0

    a=mediaclk:direct=0
    a=recvonly

    		no modification


  2. Now that the SDP is configured for your network, go back in the Advanced pages > Sync Tab.
  3. Click on the Manual checkbox, and copy - paste the SDP configuration.
  4. Click on Apply to confirm the configuration
  5. If you use an Anubis Monitor Source, you will now have to patch this connection :
    -You can go in Anubis Settings > Sources > YourSourceName and select the connection in the Channels section.
    -Or you can use patch in the Session Sink.  Scroll down and tick the required channels for your Monitor Source ("Player" in our example).
     If you use more than 8 channels, please patch the second sink as well.


The CP850 is now outputting through the Merging device.
You may now remove the CP850 Command network connection.
