CobraNet notes

1. Note that a wiring connection between devices, using the CobraNet nodes on the device icons in the Main Window is not necessary to create a network connection but is recommended in order to provide a graphical representation of the installation cabling infrastructure. These are the cat5 ethernet cables that carry multiple channels of audio.

Wiring between input and output CobraNet blocks is required in the devices' Configuration Window(s) in order to pass audio through the device to a further destination, either via CobraNet or to analogue connections.

2. Bundle settings that are inaccurate or unused can be deleted in the CobraNet edit box by selection and pressing the "-" button.

3. An input or receiving bundle has only the "Number" property.

A transmitting output bundle has further properties that include setting a bit depth for each of the 8 slots. This can be chosen between 16, 20 and 24 bit for each channel. There are limitations to the channel count and bundle capability based on the combination of sample rate and frequency, check the CobraNet Information section for more details. The output bundle's "Priority" in the network sequence can be adjusted from 1-255, default being 16 and, its transmit position can be changed also.

4. Devices using different sample rates can be accommodated in a system design. The sample rate is set by clicking on the device's icon in the design space and changing this property (either 48KHz or 96KHz). However, devices having different sample rates cannot be connected to pass audio directly on the network. The File Preferences option to select sample rate is a default setting for all newly created devices, i.e. to configure a whole system in 96KHz select this option before starting to layout your devices.

5. If CobraNet bundles are not activated, i.e. still silver, control panels, for processing objects wired to these bundles in the same device configuration, will not allow use of their controls in online or run mode. Activate the bundles correctly to enable use of the controls.
