TVI2.0

The NGTC-TVI2.0 is a Digital to Analog Audio Converter, that has been designed for either marine, residential or professional audio applications. It converts Coaxial or Toslink digital audio signals to analog L/R audio and it is available for connection to an external device, such as an amplifier, via standard RCA-style jacks. This

Converter is small in size and quite easy to install.

Subsections of TVI2.0

Installation

  • Place the TVI2.0 behind the TV or wherever suited..
  • Select via hardware switch the coaxial or Toslink digital audio input

Configuration

Setup interoperability between TVI2.0 and Dante devices

Caution

AES67 interoperability settings are required for every Dante device that should receive a AES67 stream

To enable your Dante devices to receive an AES67 stream, AES67 interoperability must be enabled. This is done by using Audinate’s Dante Controller, which can be obtained from the Audinate website or any other manufacturer specific software tool.

In Dante controller all your Dante devices that are connected to the network will show up automatically.

  1. Start the Dante Controller Software and wait for it to be synchronized with the network
  2. Select the “device info” tab in the software
  3. Double click on the DSP you would like to configure for AES67, a new window will open
  4. Select the “AES67 config” tab
  5. Enable AES67 mode and make a note of the Tx multicast prefix. You will need this number later, even if you are not using the DSP as a transmitter. This must be the same for all DSP’s that are ready for AES67.
  6. Reboot the Dante device
  7. This needs to be done with every Dante device that will receive an AES67 stream

Subsections of Configuration

AES67 Network Setup

AES67 Network Address Setup

To configure the AES67 network address use the built in Audiolan web UI. Your PC needs to be connected to the AES67 network and have its addressing set in the same IP range.

Info

By default the AES67 network interface is set to DHCP

Caution

To avoid an IP conflicts, connect one device after another and change each units IP to a different one

Note

Avoid any special characters and spaces in the device name

  1. Open a browser and enter the devices AES67 network address in the address bar, press enter
  2. Select the “General settings” tab in the web UI to change the devices IP address
  3. The NGTC-MCP4kR2 should have an IP and Subnet address in the same range as the Dante devices
  4. Apply all settings and reboot the device

AES67 Stream Address Setup

Caution

The AES67 stream of each device needs to be configured to be received by the Dante/AES67 devices

Note

Avoid any special characters and spaces in the stream name

  1. Open a browser and enter the devices AES67 network address in the address bar, press enter
  2. Select the “Stream provider” tab in the web UI and uncheck the “Use automatic configuration” checkbox
  3. Make sure that the first 2 octets matches the Multicast Address Prefix given in the Dante Controller (239.69.xxx.xxx in the example below). Set the last 2 octets to unique values. always avoid duplicated IP addresses. Best practice is to set them to the same value as the last 2 octets of the AES67 network address
  4. Make sure that the “Activate” checkbox for the stream is checked
  5. Select the “Advanced” tab and ensure that the SAP browsing is enabled

Audio Routing using Audinate’s Dante Controller

Natively the audio routing can be done by using Audinate’s Dante Controller in case if its not auto configured by the DSP’s management software. In Dante Controller all your Dante and AES67 devices that are connected to the network will show up automatically.

The BTI will be shown at the ‘‘Dante Transmitters’’ part, using its multicast address@hostname-HH-HH-HH where ‘‘HH-HH-HH’’ are the last three bytes of the devices MAC address.
