Hardware Connection; Example 1 - Optocore X6R-FX-16MI Operating Manual

Hardware Connection

Example 1

Two or more X6R-FX can be used to create optical ring network based on the Optocore technology. In the
following example two X6R-FX with 8 mic/line inputs card and 8 line outputs card are connected with X6R-FX-
16LO equipped with two 8 line outputs cards. It creates a network with 16 inputs and 32 outputs, where each
input channel can be routed to any output. Adding distant fiber units to the Optocore ring can easily expand the
system. Additionally each node channel count can be increased using Optocore TP-type devices connected by
SANE protocol. Word clock signal is transmitted through Optocore fiber hence there is no need to use additional
75  cables.
Fig. 1: Connection of three X6R-FX units.
Optocore network shown above in Fig. 1 is a redundant loop created by closing a daisy chain. Diagram
demonstrates the signal flow. Every connection is made with crossed duplex fibre single or multimode (depending
on system configuration).
Each of the devices in this example is an analogue converter with SANE network interface. The configuration of
audio routing is carried out with OPTOCORE CONTROL software.
