Media Network Setup

Media Networks are the AVB, Dante or CobraNet connections that are being used in your Tesira configuration file.

Three Media networks are created by default and cannot be deleted. Additional media networks can be added and defined if required.

The available Media Networks are listed. Dedicated media blocks such as the AVB Input, AVB Output, Dante Input, Dante Output, Audio-Technica Mic, Shure Mic, CobraNet Input and the CobraNet Output have a drop down that is used to select the required Media Network.

A single Clock Master can be defined in the system. This setting will define which network will be tasked with Backplane timing and synchronizing the audio across different media networks.

Un-checking the Detect Clock Sync Faults suppresses the "clocks not synchronized on the media network" error message. An example of when a user may want to deselect this option is if two separate Tesira systems are connected and synchronized to the same Dante network, and each system has Dante selected as the Clock Master. If these systems were then connected to the same CobraNet network, both systems would attempt to be the CobraNet conductor. In this scenario, only one system may be the conductor, so the other system would give the "clocks not synchronized on CobraNet network" error message. A system designer may suppress the error message by deselecting the "Detect Clock Sync Faults" check box for the CobraNet network.
