21. AVB is IEEE’s Audio Video Bridging

Ethernet standard for highbandwidth, low-latency audio streaming over Ethernet. If your

MOTU interface is connected to a

2nd MOTU interface through its network port, or to an AVB switch for access to an extended AVB network, you can stream audio channels to and from other devices on the network. AVB streams are handled in banks of eight channels, so if you enable 2 streams, that’s 16 channels.

See chapter 11, “Networking”

(page 95).

22. If you’ve activated one or more AVB

network input streams (21), connect

them to the output streams of other devices on the network here. This is how you route audio from the other devices to the 828es.

23. In the Input/Output Banks sections, you can disable any banks that you are not using. Doing so hides them from the routing matrix and mixer to simplify operation. Doing so also helps conserve DSP resources.

24. Configure the optical ports for either

8-channel ADAT or stereo TOSLink.

At 88.2 or 96 kHz, the ADAT setting supports 4-channel SMUX format.

See “Optical I/O” on page 45.

25. The digital mixer in the 828es supports up to 48 channels at 44.1 or 48 kHz. At higher sample rates, the maximum number of supported channels is lower, due to finite DSP resources. If you don’t need 48 inputs (or the maximum available), you can lower the number here to simplify mixer and routing operation and conserve DSP bandwidth for effects processing.
