General Precautions

• Do not place heavy objects on the RP64, expose it to sharp objects or handle

it in any way that may cause damage, e.g., rough handling and/or excessive

vibration.

• Do not subject the equipment to dirt, dust, heat or vibration during operation

or storage. Never expose the console to rain or moisture in any form. Should

the unit become wet, turn it off and disconnect it from the power source

without further delay. The equipment should be given sufficient time to dry out

before recommencing operation.

• When cleaning the RP64, never use chemicals, abrasive substances or

solvents.

• The front panel should be cleaned using a soft brush and a dry lint-free cloth.

For persistent marks, use a soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol.

• Keep these instructions for future reference. Follow all warnings in this

manual and those printed on the unit.

• The RP64 must be connected following the guidance in this manual. Never

connect power amplifier outputs directly to the RP64. Connectors and plugs

must never be used for any other purpose than that for which they are

intended.

• The equipment must be powered from an appropriate source which can be via

either of the mains inputs. Use both inputs for redundancy purposes.

• The RP64 must not be operated inside a case or enclosed as the housing

acts as a heatsink for the components inside.

• Refer servicing to qualified technical personnel only.

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing your new Nixer RP64 audio network switch.

This manual describes the features and how to use the RP64, RP64 EQ and RP64

CV2.

Features that are only found on the RP64 EQ and RP64CV2 will be displayed in

purple.

The only difference between the RP64 EQ and the RP64 CV2 is that the RP64 CV2

does not have an LCD screen and must be operated via the Control Port using

NixNet.

This unit has been designed to make it convenient and easy to patch audio signals

within Audio over IP (AoIP) networks without having to change subscriptions.

Operation is via it’s clear and simple to use touchscreen interface and it is housed in

a compact and robust case.

The RP64 is a 64-way digital patch with 64 digital inputs and 64 digital outputs.

Patch routing is changed easily by the touchscreen interface.

At time of purchase, it can be specified with either a Dante or Ravenna interface.

Patches operate almost instantaneously and negate the need of having to use a

laptop and a controller program and the inherent delays these bring.

The RP64 is a compact 1U module with a size of 44mm height, 483mm width (inc.

rack ears) and 120mm depth.

It features a large letterbox 6.6” diagonal (168mm) 1440 x 240 24-bit colour LCD and

capacitive touch panel for display and control (not fitted to RP64 CV2)

• the RP64

• Quick Start Guide

Please contact your retailer immediately should anything be incorrect.

Quick Start Guide

Once you have unpacked your RP64 you can follow this quick guide to get you

started using it.

Firstly, if you’re unit is configured with Dante you will need to download and install a

copy of Dante Controller onto your PC/Mac. (https://www.audinate.com)

If you have purchased a Ravenna unit then either download and install Aneman

(https://www.merging.com/products/aneman) alternatively once the unit is powered

access the Ravenna unit directly as described below.

Next plug your RP64 into your network with an RJ45 patch lead.

Apply power to the unit either via PoE and/or via the 24V DC input after a few

seconds you will see the splash screen on the RP64.

The optional NIX00583 or the NIX00629 can be used to power your unit.

After the RP64 has booted you will be presented with the main screen.

If you have a valid network connection the status light in the top left side of the

screen next to the P (primary) will turn green.

At this point start Dante Controller on your PC/Mac and you will see your RP64

appear in the list of devices or for Ravenna devices we recommend that you access

it directly by typing http://192.168.0.18/advanced/index.html (replace the shown IP

address with your units IP address)

You will then be able to select sources and destinations for your RP64.

Once you have done this you will be able to start using your RP64 via the touch

screen interface.
