3.6 Optional Boards
3.6.1 Network Boards
ATEÏS Net™ is a secured (monitored) audio network, developed and supplied for fast and low latency
audio and data transport over a redundant copper (CAT-5) or fiber-optic network ring. ATEÏS Net™
has an open-architecture design and interfaces with remote devices such as paging consoles, audio
break-in and break-out converters and room controllers, providing the best solution to medium to
large-scale installations. ATEÏS Net™ secured audio network responds to PA/VA requirements as
stated in EN54-16 and BS5839/8, with specific attributes for compliance in large installations.
Function:
ATEÏS Net™ is able to simultaneously transport 48 audio channels(32 bit, 48 kHz sampling rate)
with a latency <1ms together with the necessary control data over a CAT-5 or fiber-optic
dedicated network. For LOCAL and GLOBAL system networking, optional ATEÏS Net™
networking cards can be installed into the IDA8 Controller and Slave units. Thanks to its loop
architecture, the ATEÏS Net™ audio network is fully redundant. When a fault (line open or
shorted) occurs on a loop segment, it will be automatically isolated without affecting the entire
system functionality. ATEÏS global-net, can be a network of more than one controller(Matrix
Mode and Switch Mode) and a maximum up to 31 IDA8Sxx Slave units (Matrix Mode and
Switch Mode) in a local system.
As network addresses are auto negotiated, network setup is very easy. Once programmed, the
system will operate independently without connecting to a PC having to be connected. 32 IDA8
system units can be a network in ATEÏS Global-Net, and each system includes one control unit
connecting to 31 slave units in ATEÏS Local-Net.
The installation of NET-C1 cards (RJ45 to RJ45) are suitable with a maximum distance up to
100m between Matrix and Slave unit or Slave and Slave unit. For longer installation distances,
optional NETC2, C3 or C4 can be used to extend distances with fiber-optic, up to 2 km between
units in multi-mode or 20 km in single-mode.
Security:
In accordance with EN54-16 and BS5839/8, all IDA8 system components and peripherals on the
ATEÏS Net™ secured audio network are monitored and reports stored in the IDA8C system
controller. The controller monitors the status of all the equipment in the system, reports status
changes and stores fault messages for recall either on the controller front-panel display or
through the ATEÏS Studio PC-based software.
3.6.1.1 Technical Data
This Ethernet based network is able to simultaneously transport 48 audio channels (32 bits, 48 kHz
sampling rate) with a latency < 1 msec together with the necessary control data over a CAT5 or
Fiber optic dedicated network.
