SWP1

Simple Dante networks are not difficult to set up and operate, but as network complexity grows the switches used need to be optimized for Dante operation in order to achieve maximum stability. Setting up QoS, IGMP Snooping, and other parameters on an intelligent switch can be a complex task, requiring specialized knowledge that is more the domain of IT technicians than audio engineers. The SWP1 series allows a Dante optimized setup to be recalled by simply flipping one DIP switch. No expertise or training is required.

A truly efficient network should be able to handle multiple services simultaneously: Dante communication, StageMix and other smart device functions, computer software that allows digital mixer or power amplifier control, and perhaps more. But the more communication you combine on one network, the greater the chance for interference and problems. The use of virtual VLAN domains to isolate the various types of data is the ideal solution, but this type of setup also requires some IT expertise. The SWP1 series includes three VLAN presets that can be simply selected via a DIP switch. There’s also a USER mode that allows fully customized VLAN setup.

Pengelolaan jaringan Dante yang efektif bergantung pada berbagai parameter seperti traffic jaringan, status switch, dan informasi masing-masing perangkat Dante. Aplikasi Yamaha LAN Monitor menyediakan tampilan komprehensif satu layar tentang semua parameter penting saat digunakan dengan switch SWP1 series. Kami menyebut tipe gambaran umum grafis ini sebagai “visibilitas jaringan.” Anda bahkan dapat mengambil snapshot status jaringan yang normal dan mengatur alarm agar dapat memberi peringatan kepada Anda jika ada parameter yang berubah, sehingga masalah dapat diidentifikasi dan diselesaikan dengan cepat dan mudah. Aplikasi Dante Controller juga dapat dijalankan dari Yamaha LAN Monitor dengan sekali klik, menyediakan solusi total jaringan Dante pada satu komputer.

Reliability is essential in live sound applications. Nothing can be allowed to interrupt the show. Conventional network switches usually have RJ45 connectors to match the connectors on the computers to which they will be connected, but the SWP1 series features durable, reliable etherCON connectors that are directly compatible with the etherCON connectors on Yamaha CL/QL series consoles and other Dante capable devices.

The SWP1-8MMF and SWP1-16MMF include multi-mode fiber capable opticalCON connectors. Both models allow transmission over distances of up to 300 meters. The optional MMF-SWP1 optical fiber module can be added to allow two optical fiber cables to be run for redundant connection. Rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP) is also supported for redundant connections.

SWP1 series switches include an XLR-4-32 type EXT DC INPUT connector in addition to the standard AC IN connector. +24V DC supplied to the EXT DC INPUT connector provides redundant power that can keep the device running if a problem occurs in the AC supply. For further reliability the AC connector is a locking type (V-Lock) that minimizes the possibility of accidental disconnection.

Memahami bagaimana berbagai switch diinstal dan dihubungkan di lokasi yang berbeda-beda, ditambah bagaimana perangkat-perangkat jaringan dihubungkan ke switch-switch tersebut, bisa menjadi pekerjaan yang sulit dan memakan waktu. Yamaha LAN Monitor membuat keseluruhan topologi jaringan terlihat dengan jelas, memberi gambaran komprehensif kepada pengguna tentang bagaimana berbagai switch dan perangkat-perangkat jaringan Dante saling berhubungan. Cukup hubungkan komputer ke switch SWP1 series terdekat lalu jalankan perangkat lunak Yamaha LAN Monitor.
