Optocore has introduced the Y3R-TP SANE card for Yamaha digital consoles, and it will be on display at the Optocore booth (# 667) at the upcoming 131st AES Convention at the Javits Convention Center in New York City.
The new Y3R-TP card is designed for Yamaha mini-YGDAI slots, providing an interface on Optocore’s SANE network. It features 16 input/16 output audio channels through these mini-YGDAI slots, with word clock to/from the slot, to/from the network, and word clock transport to any device in the network.
The two SANE ports enable connection of multiple Y3R cards to the stand-alone SANE network or as a Cat5-based extension to a 2Gbit Optocore ring.
There is also a LAN slot, since all Optocore devices create a 100Mbit LAN network, and a 10/100Mbit Ethernet virtual switch to any Ethernet-enabled Optocore device.
Also incorporated is a USB/RS232/Remote port for direct transport of the Yamaha HA Remote protocol via Optocore.
Finally, the card offers Yamaha Emulation Mode, making it possible to control Optocore preamps from four different consoles.
Also at AES, Optocore creator and president Marc Brunke will be hosting a tutorial entitled “Fundamentals of Audio and Data Networking Over Fiber Optic and Cat5 Cables,” where he will look at the various networking technologies on the market today and how they address key points such as word clock, latency and distribution. This session will be held in room 1E08 of the Javits Center on Friday, October 21 at 9 am.
