This document is intended to be a brief introduction on how to use Optocore SANE TP devices to expand the number of inputs and outputs on Optocore FX devices. The document assumes that an Optocore system has been configured according to the Optocore Quick Start guide and/or the Optocore Software Manual.

Audio is routed using the Optocore Control Software as in a regular Optocore network. Individual SANE TP devices and converters are nested together as ports under the parent Optocore device in the device tree and the Matrix window. The port number relate to the TP-ID of the SANE device.

Optocore FX devices. EXAMPLE 1: TP devices without AES ports Seven X6R-TP SANE devices are connected to an Optocore X6R-FX device as shown in the diagram below. This system would be configured as shown below: In ID16 - Software Local Settings - Sane setup: TP –...

EXAMPLE 2: Five TP devices, one with two AES/EBU ports enabled An Optocore X6R-FX is connected to five X6R-TP devices by SANE. The third TP device in the daisy chain is configured with both AES/EBU ports enabled and connected to generic 3 party converters as shown below.

EXAMPLE 3: Two TP devices connected to DD4MR-FX, each with a single AES/EBU port enabled In this example a DD4MR-FX Optocore unit is connected to two X6R-TP devices, each with one AES port enabled. This system would be configured as shown below: In ID22 - Software Local Settings - Sane setup: a.

EXAMPLE 4: Two TP devices connected to DD2FR-FX and three Y3R-TP cards connected through SANE2 In this example a DD2FR-FX Optocore unit is connected to two X6R-TP devices and three Yamaha expansion cards connected through SANE2 connector compatible with MADI over CAT protocol. Depending on number of cards channel count for MADI Cat 2, should match number of cards x 16.

EXAMPLE 5: Two TP devices connected one with AES/EBU generic device expansion to DD2FR-FX and two additional Y3R-TP cards In this example a DD2FR-FX Optocore unit is connected to two X6R-TP devices, where one is expanded with external AES/EBUI converter and two Yamaha expansion cards connected to SANE daisy chain. Depending on number of cards channel count for MADI Cat 2, should match number of cards x 16.
