Allen & Heath : M-DL-GOPT-AX ALLEN&HEATH

Audio networking card is one of several audio networking options for dLive or Avantis I/O Port.

 

อุปกรณ์เสริมการ์ดเครือข่ายเสียง  fibreACE audio networking card เป็นหนึ่งในตัวเลือกเครือข่ายเสียงที่สามารถติดตั้งกับพอร์ต I/O ของ Allen & Heath dLive หรือ Avantis ให้ลิงก์แบบจุดต่อจุด 128x128ch 96kHz ไปยังระบบ dLive หรือ Avantis อื่นผ่านสายเคเบิล CAT หรือไฟเบอร์ออปติกมัลติโหมด นอกจากนี้ยังสามารถใช้เป็นตัวแปลงการใช้งาน dLive MixRack เป็น Surface ด้วยไฟเบอร์ออปติก

 

The fibreACE audio networking card (M-DL-GOPT) is one of several audio networking options that can be fitted to any Allen & Heath dLive or Avantis I/O Port. It provides a 128x128ch 96kHz point-to-point link to another dLive or Avantis system over CAT cable or multimode fibre optic. It can also be used as a converter, to replace the dLive MixRack to Surface link with fibre optic.

 

The fibreACE card offers an ideal solution for digital splits and audio distribution in large scale events and installations, with cable runs up to 500m and industry standard connectors. In a typical FoH/Mon configuration, the inputs of a dLive or Avantis system are sent to a second system where independent trim, processing and mixing is applied.

 

fibreACE is Allen & Heath’s proprietary protocol for transporting Audio and Control over Ethernet. It allows very low latency and cable redundancy without any audio dropout. It can also tunnel the dLive / Avantis TCP/IP control network over the same connection, for example to enable control of two systems by a single laptop.

 

fibreACE is a truly plug ‘n play protocol: no computer is required for the setup of fibreACE connections. Simply plug the cable between any two dLive / Avantis systems and set the patch and clock settings directly on the mixer.

Features:

 

Port A optical

opticalCON Duo connector ( compatible with LC-Duplex ) for fibreapplications.

 

Mode of operation

Set to Optical Active to use as a 128x128 96kHz interface with a fibre optic link to another dLive system.

Set to Copper Active to use as a 128x128 96kHz interface with a CAT cable link to another dLive system.

Set to Convert to connect a MixRack and Surface via fibre optic instead of CAT cable ( see diagram on next page ).

 

Port A copper

EtherCon connector for CAT cable applications.

 

Port B

Optional redundant backup connection.

 

Control Network Bridge

When in Optical Active or Copper Active mode, dLive control data and third party Ethernet data can be tunnelled over the fibreACE connection. For example, switch this On in a digital split setup so that the same laptop running Director can control either the FoH or Monitors system.
