X6R/V3R-TP
12 / 27
rev. 2.4
When using the X6R/V3R-TP as a SANE Network device the two AES/EBU ports can be configured as inputs or
outputs in groups of four and the AES/EBU channels can be exchanged between SANE and the I/O cards.
Word Clock input and output connections enable the synchronisation of the units to an external source and are
used to pass the word clock from one unit to the next. For stand-alone applications, the devices are equipped with
an internal word clock generator.
Up to 8 TP devices can be used in one SANE CAT5 daisy chain to extend OPTOCORE FX fiber node with up to
64 audio inputs and 64 audio outputs and additional 100Mbit LAN ports. Microphone preamps on the TP device
can be controlled from any node in the fiber network as well as from the console running Emulation Mode.
X6R/V3R-TP units can be set to work as high quality standalone analog to AES/EBU converter – in this case
SANE connectivity is deactivated.
Up to four X6R/V3R-TP, which are set as standalone converters, can be connected to the four principle D-Sub
ports of one DD32R(E) enabling the exchange of 32 AES/EBU signals (64 channels) and control data. The ports
include two control data channels. The X6R/V3R-TP units can be operated and controlled via the OPTOCORE
network with OPTOCORE CONTROL software without the need for any external data cable. For control in stand-
alone applications LAN, USB or RS232 ports on the front / rear panels can be used as well.
All Optocore devices are designed and built using the latest programmable microprocessors and FPGA (field
programmable gate array) logic circuitry. This allows the devices internal logic to be updated, in the field, ensuring
a continual state-of-the-art device.
Optocore devices, and complete networks, are configured and operated using the OPTOCORE CONTROL
software. The software provides access to all configuration parameters and controls needed to operate the
system, including: naming channels, setting gains and phantom power, routing as well as recall and capture of
partial or full system configurations. The software can be operated offline as well as online with level meters for all
channels on the network.
The LEDs on the front panel of the X6R/V3R-TP units allow an instant overview regarding the status of each
channel, indicating if audio is present on a channel, if a peak level is reached and the activation of the phantom
power per channel.
