CobraNet
TM
Connectors–Primary/Secondary [BLU-800/BLU-320]
CobraNet
TM
is a licensed technology which allows CobraNet
TM
enabled Soundweb London devices to send
and receive (simultaneously) up to 32 channels of audio to and from other CobraNet
TM
enabled devices� The
CobraNet
TM
compatible devices within the Soundweb
TM
London system are fitted with a Peak Audio Cobranet
TM
CM-1 module� The module itself offers a Primary and a Secondary Cobranet
TM
port� Under normal operation,
only the Primary port transmits and receives data to and from the network� Should the Primary port or connection
fail, the CM-1 module automatically switches to receive from and transmit with the Secondary port�
AVB [BLU-805/BLU-325]
Ethernet AVB, or Audio/Video Bridging, is a common name for a set of IEEE standards that ensure the transmission
of high quality streaming audio and video over a standard Ethernet connection� The BLU-805 and BLU-325
devices are fitted with an AVB module. The module allows Soundweb London devices to send and receive
(simultaneously) up to 64 channels of audio to and from other AVB-enabled devices�
The module offers a Primary and a Secondary AVB port� Under normal operation, only the Primary port
transmits and receives data to and from the network� Should the Primary port or connection fail, the AVB
module automatically switches to receive from and transmit with the Secondary port� NOTE: The Secondary
port is not currently enabled� It will be enabled in a future release of HiQnet London Architect� The physical
AVB connections must be made using Cat 5e cables and an AVB compatible network switch� See ‘Technical
Specifications’ for compatible Ethernet Switches. Do not connect the AVB ports to any switch which does not
support AVB! When connecting only two AVB devices together, a direct connection between devices can be
made from the primary of one device to the primary of the other�
Dante
TM
/AES67 [BLU-806 (DA)/BLU-326 (DA)]
Dante
TM
is a licensed technology from Audinate®� It uses standard Internet Protocols over 100Mb and/or Gigabit
Ethernet and is capable of transporting professional quality, low-latency audio� Dante
TM
runs on inexpensive
off-the-shelf computer networking hardware and does not require dedicated network infrastructure; Ethernet
switches transmit Dante
TM
digital media streams alongside ordinary data traffic. The BLU-806 (DA) and BLU-
326 (DA) devices are fitted with a Dante
TM
module� The module allows Soundweb London devices to send and
receive up to 64X64 channels of audio at 48 kHz (up to 32X32 channels at 96 kHz) to and from other Dante
TM
-
enabled devices� The module offers a Primary and a Secondary Dante
TM
port�
The Secondary port can be configured for Swithed or Redundant operation using the Dante Controller software.
When a device is set for Redundant operation, the device will duplicate Dante audio traffic to both Primary and
Secondary Ethernet ports� When a device is set for Switched operation, the Secondary Ethernet port will behave
as a standard switch port, allowing daisy-chaining through the device� The physical Dante
TM
connections must
be made using Cat 5e or Cat 6 cables when using a Gigabit network (Cat 5 may be used for purely 100Mbps
networks)� AES67 audio transmission is achieved through the Dante ports on the BLU-806DA and BLU-326DA
only� AES67 must be transmitted at 48kHz�
BLU link
The Soundweb London digital audio bus (also informally referred to as “BLU link”) is a point-to-point digital
audio bus with 256 audio channels at 48K sample rate or 128 audio channels at 96K sample rate� The physical
connection is made with Cat 5e cable from the OUT port of one device to the IN port of another device� The
devices are connected in a daisy chain fashion continuing with the OUT port of one device connected to the
IN port of the next device� Redundancy can be provided by completing the loop and connecting the OUT port
