The Aviom MH10f Merger Hub features the same basic functionality
as the Aviom MH10
Merger Hub, but replaces ports 9 and 10 with SFP slots which can be outfitted
with either single- or multi-mode fiber optic transceivers.
Similar to a familiar Ethernet switch, but with features and performance
designed specifically for networking and distributing audio, the Aviom
MH10f offers unprecedented flexibility and simplicity in system design.
The Aviom MH10f features ten bidirectional A-Net® ports. Eight ports
use EtherCon RJ45 connectors, while the remaining two feature SFP slots.
In Pro64 systems running in Auto Mode, the Aviom MH10f Merger Hub creates
a single network stream which is redistributed out all ten ports. This
ensures that all 64 audio channels are available throughout the network,
regardless of the physical location of any audio input or output. Channels
can be physically located off any combination of the ten ports, even if
they go through multiple Mergers.
In a Manual Mode system, the Aviom MH10f Merger Hub provides three preset
configurations, allowing users to optimize the way each point merges and
distributes audio channels. Each configuration preserves the bidirectionality
of the system, even as inputs are separated physically off various legs
of a hub.
The Aviom MH10f can also be used to provide the protection of a backup
cable for main runs, as in a digital snake. The Merger Hub will also merge
Aviom’s Virtual Data Cable™ data, allowing Pro64 devices to
send and share control data effortlessly over long cable distances (up
to 400ft/120m between devices).
The Aviom MH10f features the security of a rear-panel four-pin XLR connector
for optional backup DC power.
