CobraNet Signal Routing

CobraNet devices transmit and receive digital audio (48 or 96 kHz, 16, 20 or 24 bit) in bundles of up to 8 channels. The number of channels
per bundle can vary, depending on latency and resolution settings. The number of bundles available depends on network bandwidth.
Each CobraNet bundle has a number from the following ranges:
0:
1 thru 255:
256 thru 65,279:
In order for CobraNet devices to communicate, their Tx (Transmit) and Rx (Receive) bundle numbers must match. RHAON software makes
this easy. In some cases the settings of a CobraNet source will have already been established with the source's own proprietary software
and can be changed only with the manufacture's software. However, if the manufacturer's allows it you can set or reset both receiver and
transmitter bundle settings of any device found on the CobraNet network using RHAON software.
The first step in setting up CobraNet routing is
to scan the network and then drag the Co-
braNet Source that was detected by Scan Net-
work into the work space.
The CobraNet Source and the devices con-
nected to it must have the same Sample Rate
and Latency settings. Right clicking on the Co-
braNet Source Icon will open a pop up screen
showing the Sample Rate and Latency set-
tings. We suggest you accept the Source's de-
fault settings unless you have a specific reason
to change them.
You will then want to check the device settings
to make sure they are the same as the
Source's settings. The settings must be the
same for the source and for all devices con-
nected to it.
While latency may be changed here via point-
and-click, the sample rate is pre-programmed
in the DSP firmware running in the loud-
speaker. You can switch the sample rate only
by uploading the appropriate firmware to the
loudspeaker.
Please refer to page 52, "Updating DSP
Firmware" for information on how to upload
new firmware to your device.
Next, check the bundle settings of the Co-
braNet Source device. The Source in our ex-
ample has 4 Receivers and 4 Transmitters.
The red triangles on the left of its icon repre-
sent Rx bundles and the green triangles rep-
resent Tx bundles. Right clicking on one of the
triangles will open a pop up window that
shows the bundle number and allows you to
change it.
Disables the receiver or transmitter.
Multicast mode (many receivers can access the same bundle).
Unicast mode (allows only one receiver to receive the bundle).
