Such operation can lead to damage of the device’s components due to lack of air-flow through the device. The device may not be serviced, altered or modified without authorization from Optocore or an Optocore authorized distributor / dealer. Only qualified service personnel may carry out repair and maintenance work on the device.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case you will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Optocore GmbH could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
The DD32R-FX enables to connect to the SANE network via RJ45 ports. It is possible to use SANE as a Cat5 based cost-efficient extension to the optical core system. SANE ports may be used as point-to-point MADI over Cat5 or as a bridge interface between SANE and OPTOCORE, providing up to 128 input and 128 output channels additionally to the principal AES/EBU ports.

Optocore network depending on configuration. Ethernet Ports DD32R-FX supports Optocore and SANE Ethernet transport. Two LAN ports interface with all other LAN and SANE/LAN ports in the Optocore and SANE Network creating a large unmanaged virtual 100Mbit Ethernet switch.
The monitoring and operational facilities are only available if a DD32R-FX is connected directly to a PC via LAN, USB or RS232. In order to connect and control more than one unit tin the Optocore or SANE networks with a PC the Control is transmitted through the network.
Optocore bandwidth allocation The standard bandwidth allocation of an Optocore network is as follows: 256 Channels @ 48 KHz – 1 Gbit network Audio 768 Channels @ 48 kHz – 2 Gbit network RS485 Data 32 Channels Video 3 CVBS Video Channels *...
> 40 dB between 30 MHz up to 1 GHz. The shield of the cable should have contact to the connector hood. USB-Connection Use a USB-A to USB-B cable between the PC and the Optocore device. LAN-Connection Use standard twisted-pair-cable (Cat-5, Cat-6) with RJ-45 connector.
For word clock distribution, the Word Clock OUT of the DD32R-FX should be connected to the Word Clock IN of one X6R. Then using a daisy chain of BNC cables, the word clock is passed on to the other X6Rs in the system, from the Word Clock OUT to the Word Clock IN of the consecutive X6R, etc.
Fig. 2: Connection of four X6R units and one DD32R In this example Ports A and B of the DD32R-FX are outputs, sending their signals to first two cards installed in console’s slot. Ports C and D are connected to the third card with 8 inputs and 8 outputs each. Each of these ports transmits four AES/EBU (8 audio channels) outputs and receives four AES/EBU inputs.
