This AVB-192 Ethernet AVB Network Card is an official OEM hardware module engineered to expand the audio networking capabilities and infrastructure routing scale of the modular Avid VENUE | S6L live mixing ecosystem. Installed directly into the central E6L or next-generation E6LX processing engine core, this high-performance card enables ultra-low-latency networked audio transport to securely connect remote Stage 64, Stage 32, or Stage 16 remote I/O racks across highly complex network layouts.

Key Features

• Expanded Network Throughput: Provides 2 additional, independent Gigabit Ethernet ports to increase multi-point data distribution capacity.
• Dual-Media Connectivity: Supports both standard copper (via rugged etherCON infrastructure links) and fiber transmission lines.
• Flexible SFP Integration: Features physical optical cages accommodating an optional, user-installed Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module.
• Enhanced System Scalability: Installing multiple networking cards enables secure system I/O sharing across multiple front-of-house consoles and drives 128-channel Pro Tools recording splits.

Technical Specifications

• Component Type: PCIe Internal Network Expansion Option Card
• Host Engine Chassis Compatibility: Installs directly inside VENUE E6L and next-generation E6LX mix engines
• Network Protocol Class: IEEE 802.1BA Audio Video Bridging (AVB) / Milan-ready
• Physical Port Array: 2 x Independent Gigabit RJ45/SFP Network Cages
• Pack Quantity: 1 (Single AVB-192 Expansion Card Kit)

System Operational Note: This card is a specialized internal expansion module designed for central mixing cores. It is not compatible with local S6L control surface expansion bays or external remote Stage I/O rack card slots. (Note: Achieving full 128-channel Pro Tools tracking splits or utilizing active multi-desk stage-rack I/O sharing requires a minimum of two active AVB-192 network cards to be installed simultaneously within the engine core).
