DIGITAL SNAKE SD16/SD8 Channel Management
Step 3: Channel
(EN)
Management
Signals are routed to and from the SD8/16 and a mixer or S16/DL16 via CAT-5e cable, with
maximum cable runs up to 100 meters. The clock source is always received on AES50 port A,
and the P-16 ULTRANET signals are carried on AES50-A channels 33-48. The 8 analog outputs
can carry AES50-A channels 1-8, 9-16, or 17-24, selectable via the 3-position switch on the side
of the stagebox.

When chaining multiple SD8 or SD16 units, the signals from the second stagebox in the
chain are sent via AES50-A to the next stagebox's AES50 port B. The signals from the second
stagebox are shifted up by 8 or 16 channels when merged with the fi rst stagebox (see chart for
details). The output select switch would typically be set to the '9-16' position to allow diff erent
signals to be sent from the 2 stageboxes.
