AudiaEXPI-D accepts eight channels of digital audio input and provides eight channels of digital audio output via CobraNet®. [. . . ] CobraNet allows multiple AUDIA units to share digital audio (and DSP resources) on a system network. This also allows AUDIA units to be used with CobraNet compliant devices from other manufacturers. A 10/100Base-T Ethernet switch (not hub) is required when networking multiple units. The maximum distance between any unit and an Ethernet switch is 100 meters. Additional Ethernet switches, or even fiber-optics, can be used to further extend distances between units on a system network. CobraNet supports 64 channels of digital audio (32-in & 32-out) over Fast Ethernet, using CAT-5 cable. CobraNet transmits (32) channels of digital audio on (4) 'bundles' of (8) channels each. Bundle numbers are used to determine where digital audio is transmitted and received. Typically, 'unicast' bundle numbers (256~61, 439) are used to exchange digital audio between two specific devices. With 'unicast' bundles, each CobraNet device can transmit to no more than (4) other devices within a network. With 'multicast' bundle numbers (1~255), digital audio can be exchanged with multiple devices. Due to network delay, CobraNet has a limitation of seven (7) 'hops' (one-way transmissions) within a network. In order to integrate AudiaEXPO-D into a AUDIA system, an EXPO-D (or CobraNet) output block must first be placed into the design layout. AUDIA units intended to transmit digital audio to the AudiaEXPO-D must have their CobraNet jacks connected to the same network. Both the AudiaEXPO-D unit (hardware) and the EXPO-D output block (software) must be assigned matching bundle numbers, before digital audio can be successfully exchanged. AudiaEXPO-D bundle number assignment can be changed in real-time to allow access to digital audio from different EXPO-D output blocks within the system. CobraNet Latency settings must be identical in all devices, system-wide. Also, unicast and multicast bundle numbers can be used to access digital audio from individual or multiple EXPO-D output blocks. Similar considerations may apply when using AudiaEXPO-D with other CobraNet compliant systems or devices. AudiaEXPI-D and AudiaEXPO-D can exchange digital audio directly (outside of a system network) using either a simple 'cross-over' CAT5 cable or an Ethernet switch. 3 ENCODER/DISPLAY MENUS At power-up, the display will flash three product ID screens, ending on a customizable Title screen. Pressing the encoder while on the Title screen will reveal the Main Menu. ('N' = Off default; 'Y' = On; '?' = EXPI-D input source emphasis unknown) (EXPO-D selection; EXPI-D display only) SAMPLE RT: Displays sample rate of digital audio pairs (1-2; 3-4; 5-6; 7-8) for current operation. [. . . ] A Logic Box allows system control via external switches, or control of external equipment from the system itself. 6 APPLICATION AudiaEXPI-D BIAMP SYSTEMS 27V 50/60 Hz primary secondary in use / conductor link / activity LEDs ~ designed and assembled in the USA www. biamp. com PUSH logic inputs inputs 7-8 PUSH inputs 5-6 PUSH inputs 3-4 PUSH inputs 1-2 U.
