RAVENNA Technical Notes:



Windows 7 (32 bit or 64bit) mandatory for MassCore RAVENNA (XP not supported)



Pyramix v9 system recommendations. For now we recommended the v9 configurations to be

based on the Pyramix v8 RAVENNA supported systems. Details here:

http://www.merging.com/pages/pcconfig



The Horus RAVENNA interface is limited to 32 input Banks + 31 output Banks

E.g. 32 banks of 8 inputs channels under Easy Connect equals a 256 inputs limit



For ultimate performance we recommend that under Easy Connect you enable only the necessary

connections, as every extra RAVENNA connection will use some bandwidth (Core or Network)



The Network must be Layer 3 compliant and must be a Gigabit network



Merging has certified the Dell PowerConnect 2816 Network Switch for use with Horus – Ravenna

find details and configuration file here: http://www.merging.com/products/horus/downloads

The Dell PowerConnect 2808 is also now certified.



RAVENNA user should avoid connecting multiple Horus to any a router/Network not certified by

Merging. Refer to the Merging RAVENNA Network Guide for all details on the certified RAVENNA

switch and configuration. http://www.merging.com/products/horus/downloads



Only RAVENNA devices can be connected to the Merging PCIe Ethernet Controller Card NET-MSC-

GBEX1. Avoid mixing up non-RAVENNA device on this network, like Controllers such as

Tango/Isis/Euphonix or other network devices. The same will apply if you are connected to the

Dell Power Connect 2816 or 2808 certified for RAVENNA network use



Don’t connect a 100MB Ethernet device if the switch is not multicast; otherwise the flow control

will reduce drastically the bandwidth.



When configuring the VS3 Control Panel it will not be possible to choose a mode where both

Mykerinos and RAVENNA will function at the same time. User must either work in MassCore

Mykerinos or MassCore/RAVENNA or Native



A RAVENNA ASIO driver is available for Horus users that wish to use their notebook GbE Network

RJ-45 system socket. Refer to http://www.merging.com/products/horus/downloads

Known issues:



RAVENNA Easy Connect is known to potentially have ghost connections (inaccurate banks)

remaining, especially if the Horus is moved from a system to another. In such case we

recommend users to perform a CTRL+Clear All Connections to make sure that you get rid all

connections (and ghosts’ ones). Afterwards reconnect your I/O module banks.



Horus RAVENNA: Switching from MADI Standard (56) to MADI Extended (64) can generate small

glitch, avoid doing so during realtime operations



Be aware that non-certified RAVENNA configurations might not capable of sustaining 384 I/O @

1FS (44.1/48 kHz). If you experience noise similar to static reduce the RAVENNA I/O count

enabled in the RAVENNA Easy Connect



Merging recommends that RAVENNA users disable the Windows Firewall, as it can partially block

some of the RAVENNA I/O connections



Peaks might show up under Pyramix Core section if you power OFF or disconnect the Horus.

Recommendation: A valid connection an online Horus is always required if the Horus is PTP

Master. Reset peaks by Mouse Clicking on the Core section.



Avoid changing a network address on your system or disconnecting Ethernet ports on your system

when MassCore RAVENNA is running



Cannot use the ISIS since running RAVENNA with the Merging PCIe Ethernet Controller Card NET-

MSC-GBEX1

Recommendation: Refer to the ISIS support document below

http://download.merging.com/beta/SupportTools/Docs/AccessoryHardware/ISIS_Vista_or_7_dedicated_lan.pdf



DSD issues



Background Recorders: If the Mixer is not a DSD compatible Mixer (square mixer), the record

fails, but no message displayed. We recommend users to create a DSD project prior to

enabling and starting to work with Background Recorders in DSD.



When creating/opening a DSD project the Horus will not switch accordingly between

64/128/256 this has to be done manually
