Page 7: Device Description
Device Description Optocore TECHNOLOGY Optocore™ is a technology platform for sending large amounts of audio, with very low latency around a fiber-based network. This transport (and management system) is of very high quality, suitable for concerts, recording studios, and broadcast applications. SANE™ is a spin-off technology that adapts this same technique to a smaller network (Ethernet) and at a lower cost. - Page 8 front / rear panels can be used. The FPGA (field programmable gate array) based concept of the internal logic circuitry allows updating of the firmware ensuring a continual state-of-the-art device. OPTOCORE CONTROL software provides all configuration and control tools including naming, gain setting and phantom power activation for attached devices, storage and recall of configurations on the computer, off- and online operational modes, as well as real-time level display of the individual channels when in online mode.

Page 12: Device Details
Device Details Fiber Optic Connection The ProGrid Signal Transport Solution uses a digital Time Division Multiplex technology (TDM) with a fiber channel based 8B10B-NRZI-coding. Static time slots guarantee the synchronous transmission of all channels at any time with no demand for dynamic bandwidth. All signals attached to the audio, video, word clock and auxiliary ports of the device are transmitted simultaneously on one fiber. -
Page 13: Transmission Delay
Transmission Delay The ProGrid system delay including the matrix is fixed to 41,6 µs @ 48 kHz for all channels. The transport delay per ProGrid unit (<200 ns) in the network is insignificant. The transmission delay is constant from any point to any point. Overall delay depends on converters and fiber cable length, with ‘normal’... -

Page 17: Connectors And Cables
Connectors and Cables SANE Ports Use shielded twisted-4-pair-cable (Cat-5, Cat-5e, Cat-6), with RJ-45 connector. SANE technology utilises all 4 pairs of Cat-5 cable – two for standard Ethernet transmission, two for SANE. Maximum distance between two devices connected by SANE is 100m. Optical Connection The dual optical LINK-interfaces are equipped with duplex LC connectors. -

Hardware Connection The PG16 units are connected to a PG32-AES-FX using BI-B cables as shown in Connection Tables. The word clock is transmitted by the word clock I/Os and standard 75 Ω cables. The following figure demonstrates the configuration of a 48 send and 16 return system with two PG16units using two input cards each, two PG16 units with one input and one output card each and one PG32-AES-FX. -
