Description
The CAB
ª
8i and CAB
ª
8o,
respectively, are eight-input and eight-
output MediaMatrix
¨
gateways onto and
off of an Ethernet network for real-time
MediaMatrix
¨
audio distribution and
control. They employ Cobranet proprietary
protocol to ensure seamless, error-free
transmission of high-quality real-time
audio without drop-outs or lossy
compression across a 100baseT Ethernet
network.
The CAB
ª
8i uploads eight channels of
either microphone-level or line-level
analog audio signals onto an Ethernet
network. Each input channel has software
controlled, continuously variable analog
input gain from -9 dB to +60 dB in 1 dB
steps. Each has 48-volt phantom power
and a 20 dB mic/line pad. Both functions
are software switchable.
The CAB 8o downloads eight channels
of line-level analog audio signals from an
Ethernet network. Maximum output levels
are individually jumper-selectable between
+24 dBu, +18 dBu, +12 dBu, and +6 dBu.
In addition to eight input or output audio
paths, both products incorporate eight
voltage-control input ports, eight software
controlled TTL outputs port, eight software
controlled relays with both normally open
and normally closed contacts, an RS-485
port with multi-drop connections, and two
word-clock linking BNC connectors.

or line-level audio transmitted onto
an Ethernet network using CobraNet
ª
protocol sampled at 48 kHz (CAB 8i).
¥ Eight channels of line-level audio
transmitted from an Ethernet network
