powersoft K2 User Manual

28 | K Series | User guide
Thanks to the auto-sync features implemented in K
Series ampliers, no syncronization mismatch occur be-
tween the two AES3 streams.
Failure cases:
 damaged AESOP connection between amp n and n+1:
Ethernet network connection would be interrupted
but not the audio stream. The audio continuity is pre-
served thanks to the real-time switch of the AESOP
stream toward the uncorrupted source coming from
the trailing amplier. The amplier n+1 and the follow-
ing lose the data connectivity.
 damaged AES3 input connection: no sound inter-
ruption would be heard because the failured input is
immediatly replaced by the AESOP stream. Ethernet
connectivity is not affected by this kind of failure.
The robustness of this network is guaranteed for AES3
signals only, and for a single cable failure at a time (one de-
gree ofredundancy). If two or more connections should fail,
one or more ampliers (depending on where the interruption
occurs) would be muted.
10 : 4.3. Daisy chain with AES3 and Ethernet redundancy
Similarly to the previous schema, both AES3 and
Ethernet connection are fed to the leading and the trailing
ampliers in the daisi chain network.
The AESOP protocol can handle data conict and man-
age real-time witching to a safe signal and/or data source.
This conguration implies the use of an AES3 patch bay
and an ethernet switch.
Failure cases:
 damaged AESOP connection between amp n and n+1:
the audio and ethernet continuity is preserved thanks
to the real-time switch of the AESOP stream toward
the uncorrupted source coming from the trailing ampli-
er.
 damaged AES3 input connection: no sound inter-
ruption would be heard because the failured input is
immediatly replaced by the AESOP stream. Ethernet
connectivity is not affected by this kind of failure.
 damaged Etehrnet input connection: no data corrup-
tion would occur because the failured input is immedi-
atly replaced by the AESOP stream. The audio stream
is not affected by this kind of failure.
Even if this network conguration implements both data
and audio redundancy, its robustness is the same of that
of the previous topology: la connettività è garantita per un
singolo guasto del cavo alla volta (un grado di ridondanza),
sia nei dati o nella rete audio.
