RAV/AES67 Mode - MAD (PC) and VAD (Mac) Guide.


The RAVENNA / AES67 mode provides full control over your AoIP RAVENNA/AES67 streams connections, using ANEMAN Audio NEtwork MANager.
Compared to Unite, the RAV/AES67 mode allows more complex setup, but implies creating the audio streams manually in the devices Advanced pages, or use ANEMAN.
The RAV/AES67 mode can also use Unicast (from one source to one destination i.e. One-to-One) or Multicast (from one source to multiple destinations stating an interest in receiving the traffic i.e. One-to-Many) connections. 

Note : Aneman must be downloaded and installed separately from the VAD (Mac) / MAD (PC) driver.  
Limitation : the naming of the devices modules is only available in Unite mode.
