Surface to MixRack link
iLive supports up to two 64 channel bi-directional 48kHz digital audio networks - Port A and Port B. Port A is used to transport audio to and from the Surface.
Modular iLive - Port A can transport talkback, PAFL and up to 32 inputs or outputs to appear at up to 4 audio modules loaded into the rear of the Surface. The remaining 30 Port A signals can be patched to Surface Port B if a RAB2 (Remote Audio version 2) module is fitted. Port A in both the modular MixRack and Surface can be loaded with your choice of option card - the Allen & Heath point-to-point ACE (Audio + Control over Ethernet) link, Dante, EtherSound or MADI.
Note - This version of firmware supports only the MMO (Mini Multi Out) in modular Surface Port B. Signals transported from the MixRack on Port A channels 33-62 are routed to these outputs.
Fixed format iLive - Port A in the T and R Series Surfaces and fixed format MixRacks is set as ACE to transport talkback, PAFL and rear panel audio.
