MH10 Configurations
The MH10/MH10f has two functional sections, the Merger, which combines
A‑Net data streams as they arrive at the MH10/MH10f, and the Hub section,
which distributes the combined data. These subsections are part of the
internal structure of the MH10/MH10f and are not individually configurable
by the user.
It is important to remember that each A‑Net cable in a Pro64 network carries
two streams of data, one in each direction at all times. Each A‑Net port on
the MH10/MH10f is always contributing its data to the Pro64 data stream
(as in the case of a 6416i Input Module, for example) while at the same time
distributing the network data.
The MH10/MH10f provide three preset configurations (labeled A, B, and
C) for routing the digital audio and Virtual Data Cable (VDC) content of
the A‑Net streams received at its ten ports in Manual Mode. Each MH10
or MH10f Merger Hub in a network can be set individually to one of the
three configurations, which is especially powerful when configuring
audio networks in Manual Mode.
Auto Mode
In Auto Mode, audio and Virtual Data Cable data received from the ten A‑Net
streams are merged into a single stream, which is then distributed to all ten
ports on the MH10/MH10f.
In the simplified example that follows, two cables connected to two ports on
an MH10/MH10f are shown. The upper cable in the diagram sends inputs 1‑16
into the merger; the lower cable sends inputs 17‑32. As channels from the
individual input modules reach the MH10/MH10f, they are combined by the
merge function. The combined multi‑channel stream is then transmitted out
of each port of the MH10. Any Pro64 device connected to any port can make
use of every audio signal in the network.
