4 Simple Configuration (No DSP)
The STAGE8.8 ships with the 8 analog inputs linked to CobraNet® Transmitter sub
channels
1‐8
and
CobraNet®
Receiver
sub
channels
33‐40
are
linked
to
the
8
analog
outputs.
This
allows
the
STAGE8.8
to
be
used
‘out
of
the
box’
by
merely
setting
up
Transmitter
and
Receiver
(‘Bundle’)
network
addresses.
However,
the
STAGE8.8
has
the
capability
of
transmitting
16
CobraNet®
channels
and
receiving
16
CobraNet®
channels,
so
a
more
sophisticated
routing
can
be
configured
using
the
free
utility
Cobranet
Discovery
(CNDISCO)
from
Cirrus
Logic.

the
host
PC

the
STAGE8.8.
