AoIP Controller

Connecting source and receiver channels in an AoIP system is as simple as a point-and-click operation.

In this use case, an H16-A (device ID “a227-341e”) decodes Dolby Atmos 9.1.6 and distributes it to two MCX-800AD devices equipped with AoIP plugin cards. Device ID “a227-5019” handles channels 1 to 8, while device ID “a227-403e” manages channels 9 to 16.

In a large home theater, multiple MCX-800AD devices can distribute each channel to multiple speakers. For instance, the R Surround and L Surround channels can each be sent to three speakers in an extended theater hall.
