Architect's & Engineer's Specifications
AUDIA ® Digital Audio Platform
ARCHITECTS & ENGINEERS SPECIFICATION (January 1, 2002)
The Digital Audio Platform shall be available in three hardware
configurations: 8-in/8-out (8x8); 12-in/4-out (12x4); and 4-in/12-out
(4x12). Inputs and outputs shall be analog, with internal 24-bit A/D &
D/A converters operating at a sample rate of 48kHz. All internal
processing shall be digital (DSP). Electronically balanced inputs and
outputs shall be provided on plug-in barrier-strip connectors. Inputs
shall be individually programmable to accept either microphone or line
level signals. The 12x4 configuration shall allow inputs 11 & 12 to be
set for mono summing of unbalanced stereo line level signals. Outputs
shall normally provide line level signals, however, the 4x12
configuration shall allow outputs 1~4 to be individually programmed to
provide microphone level signals.
Each hardware configuration shall include six 60MHz 32-bit floating
point SHARC DSPs, an 80MHz 32-bit Power PC host processor, 32MB SDRAM,
and 8MB Flash ROM. Software shall be provided for creating/connecting
DSP system components within each hardware unit. Available system
components shall include (but not be limited to) various forms of:
mixers, equalizers, filters, crossovers, dynamics/gain controls,
routers, delays, level controls, level meters, and tone generators.
Ethernet communications shall be utilized for software control,
configuration, and DSP sharing. CobraNet
® technology shall transport
digital audio over fast Ethernet, allowing multiple units to share
digital audio. After initial programming, systems may be controlled
using either TCP/IP or RS-232 serial communication by third party
control systems such as AMX® and Crestron®.
Each hardware configuration shall be available with CobraNet (for
multi-unit network applications) or without CobraNet (for stand-alone
applications). Multi-unit network applications require an external
10/100Base-T Ethernet switch. All CobraNet & Ethernet connections shall
be via CAT5 cable or fiber-optic. Software shall operate on a PC
computer, with network card installed, running Windows® XP
Professional/Vista.
