VDrive is a digital AES3 transport mechanism that combines a standard 10/100MB network connection with AES3 signals.
VDrive employs the unused pins of a 10/100MB network to transport AES3 digital audio signals. As indicated in the chart
above, one is able to transmit 4 channels of digital audio using a standard CAT5 cable.
VDrive is distributed from the VRack4X3500HD input panel to the individual IT4x3500HD amplifiers via VDrive. The AES3
signal that utilizes the input panel’s AES XLR connectors as an input is buffered and then sent to the amplifiers via VDrive. If
you are using the VDrive input on the input panel, the AES signal over the Ethernet connection is buffered and then sent to the
individual IT4X3500HD amplifiers via VDrive. The VDrive output is also buffered.
If you are using the AES3 XLR or VDrive inputs on the VRack4X3500HD input panel, it is very important you save your preset or
device files with the VDrive enabled.
