VDrive is a digital AES3 transport mechanism that combines a standard 10/100MB network connection with AES3 signals.
VDrive employs the unused pins of a 10/100MB network to transport AES3 digital audio signals. As indicated in the chart
above, one is able to transmit 4 channels of digital audio using a standard CAT5 cable.
The idea behind VDrive is to connect your VRacks in a ring topology, feed AES3 into the first rack and select the switch of which
AES3 stream (1/2 or 3/4) to send via the CAT5 connection to subsequent VRacks in the network ring. On the VRACKs after the
first rack, simply select the desired AES stream via the VDrive switch (SEE THE FOLLOWING DIAGRAMS).
