Digiface AVB

RME’s Digiface AVB showcases how audio can be transferred from the PC into the network and back using the AVB protocol stack. While Apple’s Mac OS has support for AVB already built in, the Digiface AVB also brings this capability Windows based PCs. Equipped with USB 3, it allows you to stream 128 channels of audio with sampling rates up to 192kHz into the AVB network and another 128 channels back.

Channels are organized in streams of configurable size from 2 to 32 channels, which enables connections to all available AVB audio devices on the market ( comprehensive compatibility tests pending). The accompanying software package comprises an AVDECC controller, which provides essential functions to discover all AVB devices in a network and manage connections of incoming and outgoing streams. Basic monitoring capabilities are built in. TotalMix FX enables comprehensive routing and monitoring options.

TotalMix

Like all the latest RME interfaces, the Digiface AVB also includes the powerful digital real-time mixer TotalMix FX. It allows for practically unlimited mixing and routing operations, with all inputs and playback channels simultaneously, to any hardware outputs. The Digiface AVB does not have a DSP, so there are no FX available. Still it includes a dedicated Control Room section with Talkback, Main/Phones, fader groups, mute groups, complete remote controllability via Mackie or OSC protocol, and much more.
