About A-Net
The Pro16® version of A‑Net® is a high‑speed data transmission protocol
capable of sending and receiving high‑quality digital audio using readily
available Cat‑5 cables. A‑Net is a proprietary technology developed by
Aviom.
A‑Net is based on the physical layer of Ethernet, a Local Area Network (or
LAN) technology. This provides A‑Net with a mature and robust base on
which to build. However, it is important to note that A‑Net devices are not
compatible with Ethernet devices.
As used in the Pro16 series products, the A‑Net signal carries sixteen channels
of digital data from the Pro16 input module (AN‑16/i, AN‑16/i‑M, or console
card) to each A‑Net device connected to the system.
Some of the benefits of using A‑Net to transmit digital audio are:
Virtually no latency •
No ground loops •
Easy cabling using readily available components •
An unlimited number of A‑Net devices can be used in a •
system
