Ethersound Networks
Ethersound is an open protocol offering 64 channels of
bidirectional audio via a CAT5 network cable (up to 100m).
The standard Eclipse package includes one DioCore and
M.A.R.S. which connect to the console via Ethersound.
Multiple DioCores and other Ethersound devices may be added
in order to distribute I/O or link I/O between Innovason
consoles:
Up to 4 DioCores may be active on each console at any one
time, plus an unlimited number of other Ethersound devices.
The console operator may then select which 64 inputs and 64
outputs they wish to use by patching upstream or downstream
onto the Ethersound network.
The Primary Master
The order of IN and OUT connections determine which device
is the Ethersound Primary Master. The Primary Master is the
first device on the network; in other words it will be left with its
Ethersound IN port free. In our example above, this is the FOH
Eclipse.
This is important as it is the Primary Master which automatically
detects devices on the network, and assigns the streaming
direction for the 64 Ethersound channels.
