Aviom Introduces D-16C A-Net Card
 September 17, 2005
Aviom has introduced its newly developed D-16c A-Net card for use with the DiGiCo (UK) Limited line of digital consoles. The card distributes audio in the form of Aviom's proprietary A-Net Pro16 protocol via Cat-5e cable directly from the DiGiCo console to Aviom Personal Mixers and other Pro16 series products. No analog input device is required when connecting Aviom audio networking products to the D-16c.
The dual-slot D-16c A-Net fits into an adjacent pair of output expansion slots in the DiGiCo console's DiGiRack, the I/O connection rack that empowers the D1 and D5 control surfaces. The D-16c allows a front-of-house engineer to assign and send sixteen mono or up to eight stereo channels of audio in the digital domain directly from the DiGiCo console's software-based control surface to an unlimited number of connected A-Net Pro16 devices. The D-16c supports stereo channel linking for Pro16 Personal Mixers via board-level DIP switches. DiGiCo will be supporting the D-16c via a software update for its complete product line.
The D-16c A-Net card is compatible with Aviom's A-16II and A-16R Personal Mixers, the AN-16/o Output Module, as well as with the company's A-16D and A-16D Pro A-Net Distribution products. All A-Net based products can be connected with up to 500 feet (150 meters) of Cat-5e cable between each device.
