FOUR AUDIO CHANNELS TWO NETWORK LOCATIONS
The 4 channel Beatrice units have a network audio interface chipset called ‘Ultimo’
that is supplied to Glensound under licence by Audinate (The Australian company
behind the brilliant Dante newtork audio protocol).
The Ultimo chipset is a 4 audio channel interface, however it has 2 fundemental
limitations.
1) 4 Outgoing Channels:
The chipset can only provide 2 Unicast outgoing circuits, to provide 4 outgoing audio
circuits 2 of the channels must be set to multicast.
2) 4 Incomming Channels:
Although 4 incoming audio channels can be received these can only be sent to the
Ultimo chipset from 2 discreet locations on the newtork as the chipset can only
receive 2 network data streams.
