1 Introduction
The Savant IP Video is a scalable UHD (4K) Video Matrix using a Savant verified 10G network switch. This document will guide the installer through the
process of installing, configuring, and adding Savant IP Video devices to a RacePoint Blueprint® configuration.
The figure below is a basic system diagram showing a PAV-VIMAP8S and a PAV-SIPA50SM to distribute the audio to some of the zones.
The audio processing chassis can provide four audio paths with the system. Below is a list of these paths and a description of their basic function.
Pass-through – encoded audio that is received from the HDMI is passed to the HDMI endpoint.
Down-mix to AVB – encoded audio is down-mixed to stereo and distributed to any AVB endpoint.
Down-mix through HDMI – encoded audio is down-mixed and embedded back into the IP Video stream, so it can be distributed to any PAV-VOM endpoint.
AVB to HDMI – Stereo audio that is received from any AVB source can be routed through the HDMI paths in the IP Video system.
