Page 10: Device Description
The DD4MR-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. -

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. -

> 40 dB between 30 MHz up to 1 GHz. The shield of the cable should have contact to the connector hood. USB-Connection Use a USB-A to USB-B cable between PC and Optocore device. LAN-Connection Use standard twisted-pair-cable (Cat-5, Cat-6) with RJ-45 connector. -
Page 17: Hardware Connection
During the self-configuring of the network the system word clock master will be automatically determined as indicated down under Optocore Network Setup – General . If the DD4MR-FXs and other Optocore devices are previously 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. -
Page 18: Network Examples
Network Examples DD4MR-FX devices can be used as a fibre optic extender for BNC MADI based devices or as a extender for consoles which use BNC based MADI (e.g. AVID – requiered special firmware version). Configuration below shows how to transport MADI stream from console or other MADI interface to remote located recording system using redundant fiber connection. - Page 19 Connection diagram below shows how to use OPTOCORE devices as a I/O for 3 party producers consoles. DD4MR-FX can pick up the channels directly from the stage and integrate them with the console using BNC MADI connectivity. Fig. 4: Redundant network with one DD4MR-FX and X6R SANE-based stagebox. 48 analog inputs and 16 analog outputs are available at the X6Rs.
