The Vittoria provides a bridge between two internal and separate Ravenna networks. These networks are completely isolated from each other with 100% network security, providing a complete network firewall. Vittoria links 32 channels from each network directly in DSP, allowing the passing of bi-directional audio but with complete isolation and security from each separate network.

As each network is isolated, they can operate asynchronously and at different sample rates from each other without any problems. Each network can operate at sample rates from 44.1 kHz up to 96kHz.

AES67/Ravenna Interfaces
The Vittoria RR has 2 Ravenna network interface. Each interface has:
- Primary connection using copper Ethernet via RJ45 EtherCON socket
- Secondary connection using copper Ethernet via RJ45 EtherCON socket
- Primary fibre connection via SFP module slot
- Secondary fibre connection via SFP module slot

The two network interfaces will typically be connected onto different networks and the Vittoria will ‘bridge’ between them.

New Network interface options
Vittoria DD: Dante to Dante
Vittoria DR: Dante to Ravenna
Vittoria RR: Ravenna to Ravenna

Independently Operated Networks
As each side of the Vittoria is independent and not connected across a network, they can have independent settings.

For example, if the Vittoria is in OB truck running its own Ravenna network connection at 48kHz to sync with the other devices on board the truck, but needs to link with an external network in a local studio that is operating at 44.1kHz on Ravenna, then that is no problem for the Vittoria. It will bridge the two network settings and audio will flow!

Each network on the Vittoria will operate between sample rates of 44.1-96kHz.

32 Channels
The Vittoria features two Ravenna/AES67 module that pass 32 channels of bi-directional audio between each other. Whatever you input on the first module is output on the second module, and vice versa, up to 32 channels.

Network Compatibility
The Vittoria is also full SMPTE ST-2110-30 compliant without further software or licensing required..

Each Network Can Operate Asynchronously
Although each network of the Vittoria is connected via Ethernet, they can be operated with different master clocks at different clock speeds. This could be useful if you needed to spread the number of devices on one network across two. This would be very useful when using a high number of Ultimo based devices, for example.

Redundant Power Supplies
The Vittoria has two switch mode AC power supplies presented on rear panel IEC plugs.

These operate on a load sharing basis. This means that both supplies are running together at a low level. Statistically it is shown that running the supplies together offers greater life in the power supply than running one at full capacity with the other only taking over if it fails.
