Please carefully read the following manual, understand all instructions and act step by step as requested to prevent any
damage to the device, to prevent any hazards, or not to violate any laws.
NOTE - This manual is an addendum to the common operating manual for the TouchMonitor units. The
knowledge of the content, especially the safety information, is required and constitutes the basis for the
following additional descriptions.
WARNING - In order to observe the EMC values, a CAT-7 S/FTP cable with an etherCON connector NE8MX-6-T
or NE8MX6 shall mandatory be used. According to the assembly instructions of the connector, the cable shield shall
be wired in the way that it has connection to the connector housing!
Precondition
As any other device in a network, also a TouchMonitor unit with Ravenna interface (TM-RAV) has to be set up for a Ravenna
AoIP network. Only then the TM-RAV is able to receive and display signals from a network.
NOTE - Please ask the network administrator in case of doubt.
Please proceed as follows:
1. Mandatory take a shielded CAT-7 S/FTP network cable with its shield wired to the tube of an etherCON cable connector
NE8MX-6-T or NE8MX6. Connect it to the Primary resp. Secondary connector of the TouchMonitor. Connect the other
end to the Ravenna network.
2. Access TouchMonitor‘s Menu, touch System and then Audio.
3. Touch the key of the AoIP Network Settings option labelled with the name of your device and open the corresponding menu.

The Ravenna network board used in the devices is compatible with the ANEMAN - Audio Network Manager software from
Merging Technologies S.A. which can be used for the configuration, too. Further information can be found on http://www.
aneman.net, a manual on https://confluence.merging.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=33260125.
NOTE - The update function of the TM-RAV WebApp only relates to the firmware of the integrated Ravenna network
board. This firmware is provided by RTW similar to the TouchMonitor firmware. When updating, assure not to interrupt the power
supply.

Operation
If these preconditions are given and the TM-RAV is connected to the Ravenna network, you can start creating presets, define
audio groups and assign input signals.
NOTE - In each new created audio group of a preset, always the first Ravenna input signals in the order will be assig-
ned to the channels for display. Therefore, please always verify the input routing and adjust the assignment if necessary.
Proceed as follows:
10. As described in the operating manual, open the menu system on your TouchMonitor and create a new preset.
Further information on how to create and manage presets can be found in the operating manual of your device.
11. Create a new Audio Group and define the operation mode (e. g. 5.1). AoIP-Ravenna is set as Domain, this cannot be
changed. Touch Configure in the Input Routing section to perform the input routing.

Operation (continued)
12. One by one touch the buttons in the Input column and select the corresponding Ravenna signals, which should be dis-
played on these input channels.
NOTE - The channel designations 01, 02, ..., 32 shown in this documentation correspond to the initial designations
in the Ravenna network.
In the following first example we assumed that the first six Ravenna channels can be assigned to a 5.1 Surround display.

Operation (continued)
In the second example we assumed that the Ravenna channels 7 to 14 belong to a 7.1 DD+ setup.
NOTE - In one preset, up to 32 channels in several audio groups can be defined. Up to 8 channels can be assig-
ned to one audio group.
13. As described in the operating manual, add the instruments you need to the audio groups and place them on the screen
(View). Create a Non-Audio Group, if you want to activate the network status instrument and place it on the screen. Save
your preset.
14. Now, your TM-RAV is ready to measure and display signals from a Ravenna network.
