Sonifex AVN-GMCS IEEE1588 PTP Grandmaster Clock with GPS Receiver
The AVN-GMCS is a PTPv2 grandmaster clock for use with AoIP applications.
Sonifex AVN-GMCS IEEE1588 PTP Grandmaster Clock with GPS Receiver
Connect » Real-Time Signal Transfer » Audio Interfacing & Conversion » Audio signal processing, routing and infrastructure »
The AVN-GMCS is a PTPv2 grandmaster clock for use with AoIP applications. IEEE1588-2008 PTPv2 (precision time protocol) is used to synchronise all the nodes within a network. To achieve this one of the nodes must become the master clock and distribute time packets to the others. The AVN-GMCS is designed to perform this role simply and accurately, enabling sub micro second synchronisation between all nodes.
RAVENNA (of which AES67 is a subset) allows for the distribution of audio across a network. For this to be possible, each of the nodes needs to be time synchronised with one another. RAVENNA uses PTP time stamping to achieve this, which distributes the network time but also works out the latency involved in the delivery and adjusts the time at each node accordingly.
Unit configuration is achieved easily either with the front panel controls or the webserver, including the setup of the PTP profiles.
The AVN-GMCS supports the Default (RAVENNA), Media (AES67) and AES-R16-2016 (SMPTE-ST 2059-2 & AES67 compatible) profiles and has a ‘Custom’ profile page for you to define your own.
In normal operation, the unit has PTPv2 time stamping resolution to 8nsec. It uses a combination of a GPS receiver, a PLL (phase lock loop) and a specialist on-board clock device to create the precise, low jitter clock signals required to drive the physical transceiver’s time stamping circuitry, also providing holdover if the GPS signal is lost.
The specialist on board clock is available in three different types: TCXO, OXCO and CSAC (Chip Scale Atomic Clock, Caesium), which vary in both price and accuracy:
AVN-GMCS – TCXO Temperature Compensated Oscillator accurate to 1 part per million (worst case 1 sec gain/loss every 11.5 days). *
AVN-GMCOS – OCXO Oven Controlled Oscillator accurate to 0.1 parts per million (worst case 1 sec gain/loss every 115 days). *
AVN-GMCCS – SAC Quantum Atomic Clock accurate to 0.0005 parts per million (worst case 1 sec gain/loss every 63 years). *
GPS presence and the number of satellites received is shown on the front panel, together with status information on output sample rates, sync type and profile type. The unit also has a screen-saver option which shows the current time.
Although designed as a grandmaster clock, a separate clock input can act as an alternative reference source to GPS which the unit can ‘slave’ to. Clock outputs, driven from the physical transceiver, can be used to provide media clocks for external equipment local to the AVN-GMC when it is in both ‘master’ and ‘slave’ states. The clock outputs are available as a single AES-3id output and two outputs which can be selected as either word clock or variable PPS. The wordclock can operate at 32, 44.1, 48, 96, 176.4 and 192kHz. When set as a variable PPS output, the unit can act as a clock master to distribute a reference frequency to test and measurement equipment.
The unit shows UTC as standard, but can be set to show ‘local time’ on the front panel, by adding a time offset. Daylight saving time changes can be accommodated by entering Spring Forward and Fall Back dates. It has a real time clock so that accurate date and time is available even after the unit is repowered without GPS access.
The built-in webserver, or front panel OLED display, can be used to configure the unit. The webserver is a responsive design meaning that it can be used with small screens on smartphones and tablets.
Front panel LEDs show the synchronisation status, GPS lock and the status of the AC and DC power supply inputs.
The brightness of the OLED display and LED indicators can be adjusted for low or high lighting conditions 4 general purpose outputs indicate critical states for the unit using a 9 way D-type connector mounted on the rear panel. Pull down when active pins are supplied for GPS lock status, external sync present, AC power present and DC power present.
The unit has a front panel power button and dual power connectors - an IEC mains input and a 12V DC input, which allows the AVN-GMCS to be used for both studio and mobile installations. Moreover this allows for a secondary power source to reduce the effect of power down events. In any case, the unit monitors the status of both power sources and displays this on the front panel.
The unit can be put into a low-power sleep mode when not in use, with an instant start when power is re-applied. In power off situations, a super capacitor is used to keep the GPS receiver powered in a low power mode for more than 20 hours, enabling the receiver to regain lock immediately rather than having to ‘cold’ start.

The Sonifex AVN-PXH12 12 x 2 Channel Mix Monitor is a world first – it can simply and effectively simultaneously monitor and mix up to 24 AES67 AoIP sources in a compact 1U rack to a speaker/headphone combination in a quick and intuitive way so it is ideal for use in production galleries, OB trucks and engineering racks rooms. The product was winner of the AMI \'Best of Show Award\' for IBC2017, the BaM Awards™ April 2018 and has been nominated for a 2018 ‘AV Award’.
The 24 audio sources can be selected from 4 discrete stereo analogue audio inputs (1 x front panel 3.5mm jack socket, 2 x rear panel 3.5mm jack sockets and 1 x rear panel stereo XLR input pair) or from any RAVENNA, AES67 or AES67-enabled Dante® AoIP connected streams.
These stereo signals are routed to the 12 x control channels on the front panel, each of which have a ‘Normal’ and an ‘Alternate’ input selection. Each channel has three buttons: one for input selection, another to Mute the channel and the third to select whether the channel input is routed to the left, right or stereo output legs. The knob for each channel controls the level of the input routed to the output and the knob also illuminates either green, amber or red to show input level. Pressing the knob ‘Solos’ the channel input to the output.
The front panel has 3 outputs: paralleled stereo headphones on 6.35mm (¼”) jack and 3.5mm jack sockets, each with their own individual attenuation settings, and a mono-mix speaker output. There are discrete volume controls for the headphones and the speaker, and the latter also has a mute button.
The rear panel has an additional 3 line level XLR-3 audio outputs, which can be designated as mono mix or left or right channel outputs of the mixed audio content (similar to the speaker and headphone outputs respectively), or any of the physical inputs or AoIP input sources.
The unit also sends to the network, as AoIP AES67 streams, the 8 channels of the 4 physical stereo inputs, together with a stereo mix of the speaker output.
Front panel LEDs show the AoIP network status, synchronisation status and the status of the AC and DC power supply inputs. The rear panel contains IEC mains and secondary DC power inputs which provide power redundancy to the product. There are two Ethernet RJ45 connections (control and AoIP) and there is an Ethernet SFP module that, when used, replaces the AoIP RJ45 connection.
A rear panel GPIO connector provides 10 local ports which can be user configured as inputs or outputs and provide software controlled functionality. A voltage free relay contact can be used to operate external equipment.
A built-in web server provides complete configuration control of the unit including source assignment to each channel and also allows for firmware updates and configuration backup. The unit can be controlled by suitable Ember+ commands.

AVN-PM8 8 Mic/Line Inputs, 8 Stereo Analogue Line Outputs, AES67 Portal
AVN-PM8, 1 of 3 powerful audio mix engine interfaces for audio routing, metering and equalisation.
AVN-PM8 8 Mic/Line Inputs, 8 Stereo Analogue Line Outputs, AES67 Portal
Connect » Real-Time Signal Transfer » Audio Interfacing & Conversion » Audio signal processing, routing and infrastructure »
The AVN-Portal series is a group of three powerful audio mix engine interfaces (AVN-PA8, AVN-PD8 & AVN-PM8) capable of audio routing, metering and equalisation. They have both physical audio I/O and AES67 stream I/O and can mix and route freely from any input to any output, useful for a multitude of applications.
Communication between products is via RAVENNA/AES67 AoIP allowing simple CAT 5 cabling and expansion. They advertise streams using Avahi/Bonjour and SAP so can be used for Dante™ AES67 enabled streams too.
Applications:
Webserver Software
A built-in responsive web server provides complete remote configuration & control of the unit including matrix mixing and routing, and also allows for firmware updates and configuration backup. Complete product configurations can be saved and loaded for use in different situations and system logs can be saved for device information.
Mix Matrix
The key to the success of the AVN-PM8 is the mix matrix where physical inputs can be freely mixed and routed with AES67 streams, in a simple and intuitive way to both physical outputs and AES67 streams.
The unit can stream RAVENNA & AES67 AoIP streams or AES67-enabled Dante® flows (discovered using SAP). It can receive AoIP streams from 16 additional AES67 sources and can send to 64 additional AoIP destinations.
Input and output AES67 streams can be individually added/modified and the SDP of each stream can be checked and edited.
DSP functions, such as gain and filtering, can be added at inputs, outputs and cross-points. There is an adjustable input and output gain/trim and an additional mic pre-amp gain adjustment for each mic input.
The unit can act as a PTP masterclock or slave clock and supports IEEE1588-2008 PTPv2 media and default profiles.
Front Panel Displays, Metering & Controls
The AVN-PM8 can be supplied with different front and rear panels. As standard it has a front panel display to show product information and it uses XLRs and RJ45s for rear panel connectivity.
Using an OLED display, the front panel provides detailed status information on device name, network addresses, PTP clocking info, power status/voltages and version information. The display and navigation controls allow editing of certain functions, limited to networking (IP addresses, friendly name, etc) and display (brightness and contrast). The front panel controls also include user configurable buttons which can be set-up to perform actions such as activating a GPIO or as a shortcut button to jump to a specified menu on the OLED display.
Front panel LEDs show the AoIP network status, synchronisation status and the status of the AC and DC power supply inputs. The brightness of the OLED display and LED indicators can be continuously adjusted for low or high lighting conditions.
A front panel power button is available to turn the unit on and off. The power button is disabled by default but can be enabled through the ‘Display Settings’ web page.
Detailed Metering Option
The ‘D’ version of the portal (e.g. AVN-PM8D) has two bright TFT meter displays which provide a live display of the levels of the physical inputs and outputs respectively. A rotary navigation control can be used to select a single input or output and view its metering data in a more detailed horizontal view.
The metering scale used is user configurable to one of 9 different metering scales, with relevant ballistics. The metering scales available are: Dual PPM + Standard VU, EBU PPM, BBC PPM, Nordic PPM, AES Digital PPM, DIN PPM, German PPM, SMPTE RP.0155, Standard VU & Extended VU.
Metering can be set to be either ‘Discrete’ or ‘Continuous’, which changes the appearance of the meter bar.
Phase metering can be displayed per stereo output channel and channel idents can be shown either above or below the metering to identify each input/output.
On devices without a meter display, a smaller set of monochrome meters are shown on the main OLED display.
Physical Inputs & Outputs
For the microphone audio, the AVN-PM8 uses 8 x mic/line XLR sockets for the inputs and 8 x RJ45 connectors using StudioHub® pinout for the stereo analogue line outputs. +48V phantom power is available for each microphone input with a red LED presence indication.
The ‘T’ version (e.g. AVN-PM8T) uses rear panel terminal block connectors for all physical inputs and outputs.
The rear panel contains IEC mains and secondary DC power inputs which provide power redundancy to the product.
There are two Ethernet RJ45 connections (control and AoIP) and there is an Ethernet SFP module that, when used, replaces the AoIP RJ45 connection, e.g. for a 1Gbit/s copper or optical SFP transceiver. When an SFP is used, this replaces the AoIP RJ45 connection.
A rear panel GPIO connector provides 10 local ports which can be user configured as inputs or outputs and provide software-controlled functionality. A voltage free relay contact can be used to operate external equipment. There are virtual GPIO ports which can be used to trigger events over the network between devices.
For remote operation and monitoring, SNMP V2 is supported and the units can be controlled using Ember+ commands.
8 Way Analogue Headphone Distribution System
The AVN-PM8 can be combined with multiple AVN-HA1 headphone amplifiers to provide a headphone distribution system – the portal output connections can supply analogue power to satellite headphone amplifiers.
Communication between products is via RAVENNA/AES67 AoIP allowing simple CAT 5 cabling and expansion. They advertise streams using Avahi/Bonjour and SAP so can be used for Dante™ AES67 enabled streams too.
Applications:
- 8 channel microphone input mixer, with individual output gain control, input/output metering and AES67 stream generation.
- 8 channel clean-feed generator, with input mixing and gain control on inputs and outputs.
- Distribute 8 microphone channels of audio over an SFP fibre connection.
- IFB generator to send 64 x AES67 streams to individual belt-packs.
- 8 output headphone distribution system, with separate input mix for each headphone output and individual gain control.

Webserver Software
A built-in responsive web server provides complete remote configuration & control of the unit including matrix mixing and routing, and also allows for firmware updates and configuration backup. Complete product configurations can be saved and loaded for use in different situations and system logs can be saved for device information.
Mix Matrix
The key to the success of the AVN-PM8 is the mix matrix where physical inputs can be freely mixed and routed with AES67 streams, in a simple and intuitive way to both physical outputs and AES67 streams.
The unit can stream RAVENNA & AES67 AoIP streams or AES67-enabled Dante® flows (discovered using SAP). It can receive AoIP streams from 16 additional AES67 sources and can send to 64 additional AoIP destinations.
Input and output AES67 streams can be individually added/modified and the SDP of each stream can be checked and edited.
DSP functions, such as gain and filtering, can be added at inputs, outputs and cross-points. There is an adjustable input and output gain/trim and an additional mic pre-amp gain adjustment for each mic input.
The unit can act as a PTP masterclock or slave clock and supports IEEE1588-2008 PTPv2 media and default profiles.
Front Panel Displays, Metering & Controls
The AVN-PM8 can be supplied with different front and rear panels. As standard it has a front panel display to show product information and it uses XLRs and RJ45s for rear panel connectivity.
Using an OLED display, the front panel provides detailed status information on device name, network addresses, PTP clocking info, power status/voltages and version information. The display and navigation controls allow editing of certain functions, limited to networking (IP addresses, friendly name, etc) and display (brightness and contrast). The front panel controls also include user configurable buttons which can be set-up to perform actions such as activating a GPIO or as a shortcut button to jump to a specified menu on the OLED display.
Front panel LEDs show the AoIP network status, synchronisation status and the status of the AC and DC power supply inputs. The brightness of the OLED display and LED indicators can be continuously adjusted for low or high lighting conditions.
A front panel power button is available to turn the unit on and off. The power button is disabled by default but can be enabled through the ‘Display Settings’ web page.
Detailed Metering Option
The ‘D’ version of the portal (e.g. AVN-PM8D) has two bright TFT meter displays which provide a live display of the levels of the physical inputs and outputs respectively. A rotary navigation control can be used to select a single input or output and view its metering data in a more detailed horizontal view.
The metering scale used is user configurable to one of 9 different metering scales, with relevant ballistics. The metering scales available are: Dual PPM + Standard VU, EBU PPM, BBC PPM, Nordic PPM, AES Digital PPM, DIN PPM, German PPM, SMPTE RP.0155, Standard VU & Extended VU.
Metering can be set to be either ‘Discrete’ or ‘Continuous’, which changes the appearance of the meter bar.
Phase metering can be displayed per stereo output channel and channel idents can be shown either above or below the metering to identify each input/output.
On devices without a meter display, a smaller set of monochrome meters are shown on the main OLED display.
Physical Inputs & Outputs
For the microphone audio, the AVN-PM8 uses 8 x mic/line XLR sockets for the inputs and 8 x RJ45 connectors using StudioHub® pinout for the stereo analogue line outputs. +48V phantom power is available for each microphone input with a red LED presence indication.
The ‘T’ version (e.g. AVN-PM8T) uses rear panel terminal block connectors for all physical inputs and outputs.
The rear panel contains IEC mains and secondary DC power inputs which provide power redundancy to the product.
There are two Ethernet RJ45 connections (control and AoIP) and there is an Ethernet SFP module that, when used, replaces the AoIP RJ45 connection, e.g. for a 1Gbit/s copper or optical SFP transceiver. When an SFP is used, this replaces the AoIP RJ45 connection.
A rear panel GPIO connector provides 10 local ports which can be user configured as inputs or outputs and provide software-controlled functionality. A voltage free relay contact can be used to operate external equipment. There are virtual GPIO ports which can be used to trigger events over the network between devices.
For remote operation and monitoring, SNMP V2 is supported and the units can be controlled using Ember+ commands.
8 Way Analogue Headphone Distribution System
The AVN-PM8 can be combined with multiple AVN-HA1 headphone amplifiers to provide a headphone distribution system – the portal output connections can supply analogue power to satellite headphone amplifiers.

AVN-PA8, 8 Stereo Analogue Line Inputs & 8 Stereo Analogue Line Outputs, AES67 Portal
Connect » Real-Time Signal Transfer » Audio Interfacing & Conversion » Audio signal processing, routing and infrastructure »
The AVN-Portal series is a group of three powerful audio mix engine interfaces (AVN-PA8, AVN-PD8 & AVN-PM8) capable of audio routing, metering and equalisation. They have both physical audio I/O and AES67 stream I/O and can mix and route freely from any input to any output, useful for a multitude of applications.
Communication between products is via RAVENNA/AES67 AoIP allowing simple CAT 5 cabling and expansion. They advertise streams using Avahi/Bonjour and SAP so can be used for Dante™ AES67 enabled streams too.
