Transmit
Transmits the stereo Aux 1 mix generated from 500ADAT into C.A.S.T. and directly to the
breakout boxes connected to 500ADAT to enable monitor mixes to be distributed where
they are needed around the studio space.
The stereo signal transmitted from 500ADAT into the C.A.S.T. Transmit path is Post Aux 1
Blend and Pre Aux 1 Level.
C.A.S.T. Requirements
In order for C.A.S.T. to be as fool-proof as we wanted, we worked hard to make sure that the
system would work perfectly using the standard and common off-the-shelf cat 5 cables
without any loss of audio quality.
As a recommendation, we suggest using shielded Cat5 cables with robust connectors to
ensure that the C.A.S.T. connection is secure and will remain impervious to RF and crosstalk.
For improved performance, you can consider Cat 6 or Cat 7 cabling which features individual
shields for each twisted pair resulting in even greater crosstalk performance for very little extra
financial investment.
Note:
C.A.S.T. is not a proprietary system, however any equipment that should support
C.A.S.T. or similar in the future that has not had our involvement cannot be
guaranteed to work to our exacting specifications and could suffer a loss in signal
quality.
