WAN Transmitter

The following table shows the maximum sum of WAN Transmitters and Media Stream Transmitters per Core.

Note: Q-SYS Scaling Licenses expand the capabilities of some Q-SYS Core processor models. Refer to the Licensing topic for more information.

Core Model	Max Number of Transmitter Components/Streams	Max Number of Transmit Channels
NV-32-H (Core Capable)	6	12
Core Nano	6	12
Core 8 Flex	6	12
Core 110f	12	24
Core 510i	32	64
Core 5200	128	256
Discontinued
Core 1100	64	128
Core 3100	128	256

Note: The number of signal pins is variable and set in the component's TypeProperty.

Input Pins

Channel 1 - n

Audio signal pins are represented by a () circle, and traditional wiring is represented by a thin black line.

By default, the WAN Transmitter component is set to Stereo, which allows for a left and right output. You can choose Mono, which gives only one output. Or you can select Multi-Channel, which lets you choose between 3 and 16 outputs.

Output Pins

This component does not have any output pins.

Tip: For additional properties not listed, refer to the Properties Panel help topic for more information.

Channels

Type

Sets the type of Channels in the WAN Transmitter.

Must match the Receiver.

Count

For Multi-Channel, sets the number of channels available for use on the Transmitter.

Must match the Receiver.

If you have multiple WAN Transmitters in your design, the maximum number of transmitted channels is 32

Compression

Channel Bit Rate

Sets the bit rate for the Transmitter. Higher bit rate delivers higher quality audio and requires more network bandwidth.

When Multi-Channel is selected, the Multi-Channel Stream Bit Rate is the Channel Count times the Bit Rate.

Streams

Count

Sets the number of audio streams for the Transmitter.

If you have multiple WAN Transmitters in your design, the maximum number of transmitted streams is 16.

Stream (1 - 8)

Interface

Select the network interface on which the Stream (1 - 8) is to be transmitted.

The Interface selection allows you to associate streams with particular networks. For example, in a redundant network, redundant Core system, streams 1 and 2 to the primary Core would be associated with LAN A and LAN B respectively. It also allows use of the AUX A or AUX B interfaces, if desired.

Destination IP Address

The IP address of the destination receiver, which must be a valid unicast address.

Even IP Port

Sets the port number for streaming.

Peak Level (dBFS) 

Meter displaying the Peak Output Level of the Transmitter.

Clip

Red LED indicating if the audio signal is being clipped.

Clip Hold

Button to hold the Clip LED on until released.

Invert

Button to invert the output audio signal.

Mute

Button to mute the input audio signal.

Gain (dB)

Controls the input gain.

Status

Component status is conveyed with the Status LED and Status box, which uses both color and text to indicate the current condition:

• OK: The device is functioning normally.
• Initializing: The device is in the process of a firmware or configuration update, or the design is starting.
• Compromised: The device is functioning, but a non-fatal problem exists. Refer to the Status box for details.
• Missing: The device cannot be discovered.
• Fault: The device is malfunctioning or is not properly configured. Refer to the Status box for details.
• Unknown: This status appears during a Core reboot (for example, during a firmware update), or when a design is being uploaded to the Core and before it has started running.
• Not Present: If applicable to the device, this status appears when the device is not connected to the network and its Is Required component property is set to 'No'. This status also appears if the device component's Dynamically Paired property is set to 'Yes', pairing has not been assigned in Core Manager, and the device component's Is Required property is set to 'Yes'. See Dynamic Pairing.

1. Drag the Transmitter component into the Schematic of the design on the Transmitting Core.
2. Select the Properties for the Transmitter.
3. Connect the audio source to the inputs of the Transmitter.
4. Ensure the Receiver's Properties on the other Core are configured to match this Transmitter's configuration.
5. Both Cores must be running their respective designs.
6. Start Transmission.

The Control Pins are available for each channel, with the exception of the Status Control Pin which is for the whole component.
