fore attempting to create or modify larger and more complex
amplifier networks.
The following are definitions of the terms used in this section:
•
AES3-A stream: AESOP digital audio stream A (two
channels)
•
AES3-B stream: AESOP digital audio stream B (two
channels)
•
AES3-XLR stream: AES3 digital audio stream via the
rear panel XLR connector.
•
PORT 1, PORT 2: primary RJ45 AESOP ports
•
PORT 3, PORT 4: secondary RJ45 Ethernet ports
10.2 AESOP repeater mode
In the Repeater mode, any AES3 stream received on PORT
1 will be repeated on PORT 2 and vice-versa: if the AES3
stream is received on PORT 2 it will be repeated on PORT 1.
The Repeater mode is the default device mode setting. This
applies to both AES3-A stream and AES-B stream indepen-
dently. If an AES3 stream (A or B) is present as input at both
RJ45 ports (this can happen when a ring network topology
is used), the internal AESOP repeater feeds only one of the
two identical streams keeping the second stream in standby.
If for some reason the first stream fails the second stream is
used as a backup audio source.

For consistency, primary ports are placed in the rear of the
amp, while secondary ports are at the front. Notice that AES3
streams are monodirectional, while data stream is bidirectional.
