FIGURE 4 - EXAMPLE OF A THREE CONSOLE NETWORK
determined by usage on either side of
the link. In the example shown in Figure
4, If console A is sending 100 channels
of audio to outputs connected to console
B’s rack, Console B and C can then
only access 412 channels from inputs
connected to the A rack. Clearly this only
becomes an issue for large systems. In
these circumstances standalone central
routers should be considered. Please see
“Router Cores” on page 14 for more
information.
If more bandwidth is required, router ports
can be configured as trunks, which can be
connected to ‘trunk’ ports on other routers
adding an additional 512 mono channels
of bandwidth in both directions. Please
contact Calrec customer support for more
information.
