Hardware Connection
Example 1
The X6R/V3R-TP can be used as a SANE to Optocore converter. The X6R/V3R-FX with analog I/O cards is
connected with three X6R-TPs with different types of cards and one V3R-TP by CAT5 cables. The word clock is
transmitted by SANE and Optocore, so there is no need to use additional 75
Ω
cables. The following figure
demonstrates the configuration of a 32 inputs and 16 returns SANE system, which can be combined with a bigger
Optocore ring. In this example there are three Optocore X6R-TP units: one with two mic input cards, second one
works as a dual mic device, third X6R-TP with one input and one output analogue card. There is also one V3R-TP
with one output card. All those devices are creating a CAT5 SANE network. The X6R-FX device is used as a
bridge between SANE and Optocore network.

Each of the devices in this example is an analogue converter with SANE network interface. It is possible to use
AES ports, which are built in each TP device to input or output additional digital audio channels to/from the
network. The configuration of the AES ports as inputs and/or outputs and the routing is carried out with
OPTOCORE CONTROL. It is possible to route input channels from other devices in an Optocore ring to the –TP
outputs.
The same single CAT5 connection transports audio data, word clock and 100 Mbit Ethernet.
