10 : 2.KAESOP repeater mode

TheIn 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 

independently. 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.
