Ryff to MoIP

Ryff to MoIP allows for a controller's audio output to either be output from its physical audio output (analog, digital, HDMI) or through the network to a MoIP receiver. For example, a CORE 3 has 4 streams, so you could use 2 physical streams and 2 MoIP streams.

In a system with CORE 3 and a Triad One, the MoIP system can receive up to 5 audio streams. Those five streams can be listened to in any number of rooms that have MoIP receivers. If there is a MoIP receiver in the Living Room, Theater, Bedroom, and Bathroom, those units could listen to a Pandora station at the same time, while the MoIP receivers in the Kitchen and Kids’ Rooms listen to TuneIn.

The total number of MoIP streams is not additive to physical streams. For example, a CORE 1 has 2 physical (HDMI and coax) audio streams. Based on the compatibility below table, a CORE 1 supports two MoIP streams. This does not mean you gain two additional streams for a total of four streams. With Ryff to MoIP, a system with only a CORE 1 has a total of 2 streams available, which would be any combination of physical or virtual MoIP streams.

In addition to online streaming services, MoIP receivers can also listen to devices connected directly to a supported Ryff device. For instance, if a turntable is connected directly to a Triad One, you can listen to the turntable in any room with a MoIP receiver.

System requirements:

  • MoIP driver v39 or above

  • An EA or CORE controller running Control4 OS 3.3.2 or above

  • MoIP controller firmware v4.0 or above

Example use cases

  • Listen to Pandora or TuneIn in a home theater AVR connected to a MoIP receiver.

  • Listen to TIDAL or Spotify on a TV‘s active soundbar connection driven by a MoIP receiver connected to the TV's HDMI input.

  • Extend lossless audio over the network to a remote location using a MoIP audio receiver connected to a 2-channel amplifier with a pair of speakers.

  • Listen to a turntable connected to a Triad One analog input in any of the above examples.

Installation

  1. Ensure that all switches which have Ryff-enabled devices are configured properly to support MoIP traffic. Read the network configuration guides for help.

  2. Update your MoIP controller firmware to v 4.0 or later, using OvrC.

  3. Ensure your MoIP system is functioning properly after the update. Verify video is switching, audio is working, etc. Verify control through Control4 works as well.

  4. Update the Control4 MoIP controller driver to v36 or above using the Control4 Online Driver Database.

  5. In the MoIP driver, click Enable Ryff on the Driver Settings page.

  6. Bind Audio End-Points to rooms with Ryff-enabled MoIP receivers.

At this point, Ryff streams and streaming services should now be available in rooms with MoIP audio receivers.

Note: After changing Max Quality in the digital audio driver, MoIP receivers may require a reboot to pass Ryff audio to certain AVRs.

Known Limitations

  • At this time, Ryff to MoIP discovery does not support VLANs. Snap One is continuing to investigate this limitation. Read the network configuration guides for more information on MoIP networking configurations.

  • "Mixed" Ryff to MoIP and Controller environments where both are bound to the same audio endpoint device, like an AMS or matrix amplifier, is not supported.

  • Announcements are not currently supported by Ryff to MoI. MoIP receiver audio endpoints cannot receive announcement audio.

  • 192 kHz / 24-bit audio is not supported by MoIP receivers. Enable or disable Ryff to MoIP in the MoIP controller's driver.

    • When enabled, Ryff streams are available in MoIP rooms and Max Quality in the Digital Audio driver is locked to 96Khz.

    • When disabled, Ryff to MoIP will not function, and 192Khz audio is available. MoIP operates as it did before the introduction of this feature.

    • When toggling Ryff to MoIP on or off, it may take up to a minute for digital audio and MoIP to re-negotiate and configure streams for audio to pass. This is enabled by default.
