Some Outstanding Optocore features
- Network specially designed for Audio and Video
We developed an audio and video network
from conception to finished protocol
without the compromises of security,
latency, bandwidth and jitter inherent to
systems which try to adapt inappropriate
low-cost simple data networks built for
computer data exchange, never intended
or designed for professional production
requirements.
- Ultra low latency - 41,6µs over all devices from any point to any point
Due to our unique synchronous design the
digital delay over the complete network
from any point to any point is just 41,6µs -
this includes the matrix and remains
constant regardless of the number of nodes
on the network.
- Fibre optic cable has very low weight, and offers the highest possible security and longest distance
Fibre optic cables are the lightest -
a typical network duplex fibre cable
weights 5,8kg/km (20 lbs/mile). Compare
this with an unshielded CAT5 cable at
38kg/km (135 lbs./mile) or with your snake
or multi-core. Transmission distances between
devices of 700m (2300 feet) on
multi-mode cables, and up to 110km (68
miles) on single-mode cables is standard
on the Optocore protocol.
- Built-in second ring for fibre cable redundancy
The second ring provides cable redundancy
- if a cable breaks, the network recovers in
one sample cycle!
- High Bandwidth
- 1Gbit/s for 512 audio
channels or you can re-allocate the bandwidth
to suit your needs. For example, it is
possible to add more data or video
channels in place of audio channels.
- Complete Signal Integration on One Fibre
In addition to audio, the Optocore protocol
allows the transport of any kind of signal
simultaneously such as Video, DMX, MIDI
and various control data like Ethernet,
RS422, RS485. Via Ethernet you can
transmit anything using converter boxes -
e.g. Video, Intercom, USB, RS232, CAN.
With Optocore there is really no need to
lay down additional cables anymore.
- Scaleable System
As your requirements grow, you simply add
devices to enlarge the system with new
features or higher channel count.
- No central switch
Every Optocore device acts like a fullfeatured
switch, eliminating the need for
a central switch. A central switch failure in
other networks means your network is
down. Optocore's redundant system with
shared protocol means your network is not
vulnerable to a central switch failure.
- Single channel matrix
Every device has full access to all channels
and can individually extract any channel
on a single channel basis.
- Extensive control and monitor possibilities
Via the Optocore Software you can supervise
the whole network, change settings,
display levels and log events.
- Unique additional specials
To name just a few: control Optocore
A/D converters directly from Yamaha
consoles, virtual Ethernet switch features
redundancy without special programming
like spanning tree, practical jitter-free
word clock distribution, 400V tolerant
power supplies, redundant power supplies,
temperature controlled fans.
- Electrical Isolation
Fibre optic is essentially free of any
electromagnetic energy field issues. The
inherent technology provides millions of
volts of electrical isolation eliminating
hum and other problems caused by
induction. Fibre is also unaffected by
grounding issues thus eliminating the need
for those last minute ground lifts. CAT5
transformers are tolerant to only 1500
volts. Fibre technology will perform when
CAT5 fails, especially in situations requiring
multiple generators.
- 12 years of experience
We are proud to be the pioneers of Audio
Networking, and you can buy a lot - but
not experience.
