Sonifex AVN-TB6 6 Button Talkback Intercom

A six-channel talkback intercom control unit from Sonifex's AVN IP-based product line is the AVN-TB6. With the AVN-TB6RK 1U rack kit, the freestanding AVN-TB6 model may be rack mounted. Additionally, the AVN-TB6D desktop version is available that, if necessary, can be flush mounted onto a work surface. Both models have comparable functionalities. This machine uses RAVENNA/AES67 as the transport mechanism to enable broadcast-quality audio communication between studios, offices, and other places inside a facility or building complex. This allows for easy CAT 5 wiring and extension. Audio can be distributed across a network using RAVENNA, of which AES67 is a subset. RAVENNA is the communication protocol used by the AVN series, which allows for compatibility with other AES67 systems.

Every one of the AVN-TB6's six channels can be set up to communicate with other distant networked units, and if necessary, a separately programmable "page" function can make priority contact with particular units over regular intercom calls. The audio from an AoIP source can be sent to the speaker and headphones via a monitor channel. You could use this to listen to any audio source or to receive an IFB feed or an off-air transmission signal. A voltage-free relay contact can be utilized to run external equipment, and a user-configurable GPIO system with 10 physical and 10 virtual ports can be used to drive outputs when specified states change or control operational operations on local or networked machines. A built-in web server provides complete configuration control of the units and also allows for firmware updates and configuration backup. An Ember+ interface also gives access to the configuration options as well as providing remote control and monitoring of the GPIO and virtual GPIO ports.

Webserver Software

A web server is integrated into the AVN-TB6 for setup and configuration. Because the web server is responsive, it can be utilized on both small handheld devices like smartphones and large monitors by resizing to fit the size of your screen. It's a good idea to look at the help information displayed on the right side of the screen to learn how to use the device.
