Digital audio transfer of up to 32 IN/32 OUT channels
CobraNet (TM) is fully compliant with Ethernet, and is a highly practical solution for
distributing audio and control data over a common Ethernet infrastructure. The NHB32-C
features four separate 8-channel AES/EBU input/output terminals and uses CobraNet (TM)
technology to transfer high-quality 20-/24-bit 48kHz digital audio over four-bundle* paths - in real time.
* One bundle contains 8 channels of 20-bit audio, or 7 channels of 24-bit audio.
MIDI, head amp remote(AD824) and amplifier control
The NHB32-C is designed to handle not only digital audio, but also control data as well.
With this function, the unit can be used for one of three types of control*: MIDI, head amp remote
(for the AD824 A/D converter) or for monitoring/control of PC-N power amplifiers connected to
the ACU16-C.
* Only one control type can be used at a time.
Up to sixty-four channels of audio - with one Ethernet cable
CobraNet handles up to eight bundles of digital audio in multicast (one-to-all) mode on a single
CAT-5/100Base-TX cable.Up to eight NHB32-C units can be networked, with each unit transferring
four bundles and receiving four bundles, and 64 channels of digital audio can be picked up from
any ACU16-C or NHB32-C connected on the network via CobraNet. A networked system with ACU16-C
and NHB32-C is able to handle up to 64 channels of digital audio with CobraNet technology. Moreover,
multicast and unicast (one-to-one) mode can be used in combination to optimize bandwidth, more than
64 channels of digital audio data can be transferred on a network system.
Line duplication for good reliable system
Primary and Secondary CobraNet (TM) ports are built into the system, providing an easy-to-use
duplicate network for reliable operation. If one system fails, the other takes over seamlessly,
ensuring absolutely stable performance.
