The AVDECC Entity Controller can be started from the *Terminal*.

Once the controller is started, the AVDECC Entity Controller window should open. This provides general information about the available AVB streams.
{AVDECC Entity Controller>}
To see what streams are patched where, open the AVDECC Connection Matrix from the Window menu (or by typing Cmnd-4). **This tool can be used to patch Talkers and Listeners with each other.** Talkers are listed across the top, and Listeners across the left. In the image below, the one patched connection [X] below reflects that the Avid E3 Engine output stream for channels 1-8 is patched to a MOTU Stage-B16 input stream.
