DIGITAL MIXING ENGINE SATELLITE Owner’s Manual EN
Precautions for Using a Rack-mounted DME Satellite If several DME Satellite units (or a DME Satellite unit together with other devices) are installed in a poorly-ventilated rack, the heat generated by each unit may raise the temperature inside the rack, preventing the DME Satellite from performing as designed. When mounting DME Satellite units in a rack, please leave one rack space vacant for every two units.

Foreword Introduction to the DME Satellite About CobraNet Controls and Connectors Developed by Cirrus Logic, Inc., U.S., CobraNet technology allows real-time uncompressed digital audio distribution over industry-standard Fast Ethernet (100 megabits/sec.) networks. Up to 128 channels, 64 in each direction, can be carried simultaneously over a CobraNet network. (The number of channels available depends on the performance of the devices and the condition of audio signals.
Foreword Introduction to the DME Satellite Multicast and unicast bundles Introduction to the DME Satellite Controls and Connectors CobraNet bundles can be either multicast or unicast. Multicast bundles are transmitted from one device to multiple devices on the network (one-to-many). Unicast bundles are transmitted from one device to another (one-to-one). Unicast bundles are transmitted only when another device is configured to receive them by assigning the same bundle numbers.
Foreword Introduction to the DME Satellite NO T E Controls and Connectors One device on the CobraNet network works as the conductor (network sync master). All other CobraNet devices are performers (network sync slaves). Each device synchronizes its own internal clock to the beat packets (sync signals) transmitted by the conductor. The conductor device is chosen automatically and no user intervention is required.
