Device Description
Congratulations on your purchase of an X6R/V3R-FX A/D and D/A network converter Device for Optocore and
SANE. The X6R/V3R-FX series manual will quickly demonstrate the advantages of the device and help to ease
your day-to-day workload in a professional audio-visual environment.
14 in 1 - the X6R/V3R-FX is a network converter unit for Optocore and SANE with the highest degree of flexibility
with regards to the I/O configuration. Six different card types enable the complete customisation of the I/O cards,
whether for the conversion of analogue signals - 16 inputs, 16 outputs, 8 inputs and 8 outputs, dual microphone
inputs with dual independent adjustable gains, or for the integration of AES/EBU channels in the Optocore
network - 8 AES/EBU ports switchable to IN or OUT in groups of four; with or without Sample Rate Converter
(SRC). Finally X6R-FX unit enables a unique mixture of analogue and AES/EBU I/O in a single 1RU chassis. The
X6R/V3R-FX is designed for sample rates up to 192 kHz. Fourteen different versions

The low latency, synchronous, Optocore network provides the capacity to transport and route up to 1024 audio
inputs into thousands of outputs over a redundant network. Redundant fibre connections are established using
the two LC multimode, or single mode, 1Gbit or 2 GBit optical transceivers. The dual redundant ring topology
uses the advantages of fibre optical transmission in temporary and permanent applications, especially where long
distance transport and high-quality audio are required.
Additionally, the Optocore FX module includes two 64 channel SANE/MADI synchronous audio ports on Cat5
connectors with Ethernet, 4 RS485/422 ports, 100Mbit Ethernet switch and a Word Clock input and output.
