Document Version 2.1

Connecting Audio between the and WheatNet-IP

The BD600+W's audio inputs and outputs will appear on the Navigator Crosspoint screen, shown
above. They can be identified by right-clicking on the Source or Destinations list and choosing
Show/Name-Location. The BD600+ sends a stereo output and receives a stereo input from the net-
work, shown as Location BD600+ (assuming BD600+ was the name given on the "Third Party De-
vices" tab).

Note that the BD600+ audio output is always sent to the network, while its audio input is only received
from the network when

INPT

is set to

WNET.

In this case,

SYNC

can only be set to

DIG,

as the BD600+ must

run at the same sample rate as the network.
