Details
Controls: None (passive, unpowered device)
I/O: 4x EtherCon RJ45 rear (16ch each, ports A-D); 1x EtherCon RJ45 front (A-Net Bridge output)
Notable use: Used to combine multiple Pro16 A-Net streams (e.g., from D800) into a single long-haul Cat-5e run, or to feed A640/A360/A320 mixers from combined streams; replaces the older AN-16SBR
Notes: FLAG device_class: Stagebox / Expander per guidance (it is a passive A-Net stream combiner/hub, not a converter or mixer). channel_count=64 is the max combined capacity (4 x 16ch), flagged since it does not natively process/convert audio. Requires no power supply. Supersedes the discontinued AN-16SBR System Bridge (not separately listed). Price not published by Aviom.
