Page 10: Device Description
The DD2FR-FX enables connectivity 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 in total up to 128 input and 128 output additional channels. - Page 11 This allows the devices internal logic to be updated, in the field, ensuring a continual state-of-the-art device. Optocore devices, and complete networks, are configured and operated using the OPTOCORE CONTROL software. The software provides access to all configuration parameters and controls needed to operate the system, including: naming channels, setting gains and phantom power, routing as well as recall and capture of partial or full system configurations.

Transmission Delay The Optocore system delay including the matrix is fixed to 41,6 µs @ 48 kHz for all channels. The additional transport delay per Optocore unit (<200 ns) in the network is insignificant in comparison. Overall system delay is dependent on the converters used and the length of network cables in the system. -

Page 17: Connectors And Cables
The MADI-interfaces are equipped with SC multimode optical connectors. Standard SC cables are perfectly suitable for interconnection of devices. It is recommended to use multimode cable for MADI connectivity. The MADI transceiver provided by Optocore supports both multi-mode and single-mode connectivity as long as the multimode cable is used. -
Page 18: Hardware Connection
If the DD2FR-FXs and other Optocore devices are pre-configured, the network is ready to work. With a PC connected to any unit in the loop and by running the OPTOCORE CONTROL software, the network may be analyzed, supervised, parameters may be changed and the matrix can be accessed for signal-routing. -
