Professional 32-Channel Ravenna/AES67 AoIP Interface for TM7 Series
The RTW HW20718 is a 32-channel Ravenna/AES67 Audio-over-IP interface engineered for the RTW TM7 TouchMonitor Series. Designed for broadcast, post-production, and studio environments transitioning to networked audio, this interface delivers 32 channels of bidirectional digital I/O over two RJ-45 connections. It allows the TM7 to integrate seamlessly into Ravenna, AES67, or SMPTE ST 2110 networks, providing flexible and reliable IP-based audio connectivity. This module is the ideal choice for engineers and facilities that demand precision, interoperability, and efficiency in modern AoIP workflows.
Seamless Integration with Ravenna and AES67 Networks
The HW20718 connects directly to networked infrastructures using Ravenna and AES67 protocols, ensuring compatibility across a wide range of AoIP devices and broadcast systems. By transmitting uncompressed, low-latency digital audio, it provides transparent sound quality while maintaining full synchronization within IP-based environments. The inclusion of SMPTE ST 2110 support makes it suitable for modern broadcast setups requiring precise audio and video alignment.
Enhanced Digital Audio Performance for Professional Monitoring
With 32 channels of digital I/O, this interface significantly expands the audio handling capabilities of the TM7 TouchMonitor. It allows simultaneous monitoring of multiple sources, ideal for live broadcast production, multi-studio routing, or network-based loudness compliance analysis. The HW20718 ensures stable digital performance, maintaining bit-perfect accuracy and clock synchronization across all connected devices.
Future-Proof Connectivity for Modern Audio Networks
Built to meet the demands of next-generation broadcast standards, the HW20718 enables seamless integration into hybrid and IP-based production environments. Its dual RJ-45 ports allow simple connection to network switches and AoIP routers, ensuring flexible signal flow and efficient routing. By supporting multiple standards—Ravenna, AES67, and ST 2110—it guarantees long-term compatibility as the industry continues shifting toward networked infrastructures.
Reliable Workflow Integration with RTW TM7 Systems
The HW20718 interface is designed exclusively for use with the RTW TM7 TouchMonitor and extends its capabilities to IP-based metering and analysis applications. Once installed, it enables the TM7 to access, visualize, and analyze audio streams directly from networked systems without the need for additional converters. This direct integration simplifies workflow setup while maintaining RTW’s hallmark accuracy and performance.
Installation and System Requirements
The HW20718 requires installation by a factory-authorized service center to ensure precise calibration and compatibility with TM7 hardware. Once installed, it operates seamlessly within the TouchMonitor environment, providing reliable, high-quality performance for any professional AoIP system. This ensures stability, proper synchronization, and full support for Dante-compatible and Ravenna-based infrastructures.
