AVN-CU2-RAV Configurable RAVENNA/AES67 Commentary Unit for 2 Commentators
The AVN-CU2-RAV takes a new approach to provide a multi-purpose configurable tool for commentary teams. Its power lies in the impressive mix engine which overlays the RAVENNA/AES67 configuration and routing settings. Once flows have been made, inputs and outputs can be mixed freely to AoIP or physical inputs and outputs, controlled using the programmable buttons and rotary encoders, which control the gain and pan of inputs, outputs or cross-points, allowing total flexibility for different situations.
AVN-CU2-RAV can be used in any number of different commentary situations, controlled manually or remotely and controls can be ‘locked down’ so that they can’t be tampered with or altered, to guarantee reliable operation. Housed in a rugged and intuitive, user-friendly package, it’s a truly different way of looking at how commentary units should operate.
All of the buttons have key-cap text and can be configured for any button in any position. There are some standard operations available:
2 x On-Air buttons can be used to connect mic audio to the main output, either over AoIP or via the AES digital audio connection. The On-Air buttons can be locked if required.
A Menu button can be used to access limited setup options on the TFT display. 2 x Page buttons change the display and encoders to monitor an additional set of sources, mix points or outputs. Up to 4 pages can be pre-programmed, e.g. one for talkback inputs, one for outputs, one to monitor other sources. 2 x Cough buttons take the commentator off-air while pressed. A User button can be programmed to perform any function, using the web server. 4 x T/B (talkback) buttons can be configured to initiate talkback over AoIP or AES digital audio connection, using 4 x talkback buses. The talkback buttons operate with lazy talkback, taking the commentator off-air when invoked. 6 x rotary encoders. 4 x pages of 6 rotary encoder positions (24 in total).
