Description
The fibreACE card enables a 128x128ch 96kHz point-to-point link between dLive or Avantis systems over CAT cable or multimode fiber optic. It can also be used as a converter, to replace the dLive MixRack to Surface link with fiber optic.
Copper Mode:
Copper mode supports standard CAT5e links up to 100m.
Fiber Mode
Fiber mode supports opticalCON Duo multimode cables up to 500m.
Convert Mode
Allows a fiber link up to 500m between a dLive Surface and dLive MixRack.
Redundant Operation
The fibreACE card supports dual-cable redundant connections in both copper and fiber modes.
fibreACE is Allen & Heath’s proprietary protocol for transporting Audio and Control over Ethernet.
It allows very low latency and cable redundancy without any audio dropout. It can also tunnel the dLive / Avantis control data over the same connection, for example to enable control of two systems via a single laptop.
The fibreACE card offers an ideal solution for digital splits and audio distribution in large scale events and installations, with cable runs up to 500m and industry standard connectors.
fibreACE is a truly plug ‘n play protocol, so no computer is required for the setup of fibreACE connections. Simply plug the cable between any two dLive / Avantis systems and set the patch and clock settings directly on the mixer.
Features:
- 128 bidirectional channels
- 96kHz operation
- 3 modes of operation (Copper, Fiber, Convert)
- Ultra-low transport latency – 5 samples (52us)
- Dual redundancy
- Switchable Control Network Bridge
