 In the image above, one can see that the Stream 1 and 2 outputs of the [[MOTU 24Ai]] device are patched to the Stream 1 and 2 inputs of both the [[MOTU 16A]] and [[MOTU 24Ao]] devices. This means that both the 16A and 24Ao devices will receive exactly the same signals. (To note, MOTU AVB streams are 8 channels wide, so this example demonstrates the routing 16 channels of audio.)

 ### Alternative AVDECC Controllers
-[L-Acoustics](https://www.l-acoustics.com/) provide a set of open source libraries for controlling AVB entities using the [[AVDECC]] protocol that is compliant to [[Avnu]] [[Milan]] specifications. The libraries are available at https://github.com/L-Acoustics/avdecc.

 [Pivitec](http://www.pivitec.com/) once produced AVB hardware that interfaced with the [[Avid S3L]] console. They provided their own AVDECC Controller to manage the hardware. It is still possible to download their [AVDECC Controller](http://www.pivitec.com/avdecc-controller/), although it has not been updated since mid-2015.
