Yamaha Tio1608-D

The Yamaha Tio1608-D is a 16 mic input/8 analog output Dante/AES67 device.

This will describe how to setup for SOUND product interoperability with AES67.

Setup

Set the configuration switch (refer to Yamaha documentation):

• 1-2 device ID as you want. up-up for ID 1/2/3
• 3 may be set down to reinitialize, but put it back up after
• 4 for left up (unless redundancy down)
• 5-6 up-down for DHCP
• 7-8 down-up for keep state between reboot

On front, set Quick Config Off.

For Windows or MacOS, download Dante Controller on Audinate website. If you use a VM, multicast must work (check 224.0.0.233).

Launch Dante Controller. You should see the device in Routing view.

Open Device->Device View, and select the Tio1608-D.

Documentation found here.

Enabling AES67

Go to AES67 Config, click Clear Config, set Enabled and Reboot (if was not enabled).

You may need the R Remote Yamaha software to setup input gains.

Sending streams from Yamaha

Set the view on Transmit tab. On the right, you can see Transmit Flows.

Launch Device->Create Multicast Flow, select AES67 and choose a channel. Click Create.

You should see a new "RTP Multicast Flow" on the Transmit Flows view.

Receiving Stream in SOUND4

NOTE: You need the LAN Audio Ethernet for cards or EcoLine products. On other rack products, this is always included.

From SOUND4 Remote Control, Go to Setup->Advanced->AES67/Livewire+ Advertisement and enable "SAP Advertisement".

Configure the AES67 Input LAN Mode to "AES67 SAP/Dante". Click the ... on the Session field: you should be able to select the Yamaha channels.

Sending Stream from SOUND4

Configure the AES67 Output Profile to "AES67 Low Latency (Standard)". Choose a multicast address and Enable.

Note that this transmit as stereo by default, so 2 channels will appear on Dante Controller.

Receiving Stream in Yamaha

NOTE: SOUND4 outputs in stereo, so for mono programs (BigVoice) you can use only the left one.

In the Device View, choose the Receive tab. The available AES67 channels should be shown. Select the one you want and drag-and-drop to the "Connected to" field of the channel you want.

You can also directly use the Routing of the main Dante Controller to directly connect the channels (SOUND4 output should appear automagically in Dante Transmitter).
