Example 2 - Optocore X6R-FX-16MI Operating Manual

Example 2

The X6R-FX can be used as a SANE to Optocore converter. The X6R-FX with analog I/O cards is connected with
three X6R-TPs with different types of cards and one V3R-TP by CAT5 cables. The word clock is transmitted by
SANE and Optocore, so there is no need to use additional 75  cables. The following figure demonstrates the
configuration of a 32 send, 8 AES and 24 return SANE system, which can be combined with a bigger Optocore
ring. In this example there are two Optocore X6R-TP units using two input cards each - one X6R-TP with two
input cards, one X6R-TP with AES in/out card and output card. There is also one V3R-TP with one output card,
one X6R-TP with one DualMic card and one X6R-FX with one input and one output card. All those devices are
creating a CAT5 SANE network. The X6R-FX device is used as a bridge between SANE and Optocore network.

Each of the devices in this example is an analogue converter with SANE network interface. It is possible to use
AES ports, which are built in each TP device to input or extract digital audio channels to/from the network. The
configuration of the AES ports as inputs and/or outputs and the routing is carried out with OPTOCORE
CONTROL. It is possible to route input channels from other devices in an Optocore ring to the –TP outputs.
The same single CAT5 connection transports audio data, word clock and 100 Mbit Ethernet.
