AN-16SBR System Bridge
The rack‑mountable AN‑16SBR System Bridge is a two‑component product
designed to allow up to four pairs of Pro16 A‑Net products (such as AN‑16/i
Input Modules and AN‑16/o Output Modules) to be used together to create a
digital snake or audio network using just one cable between locations.
When used with Pro16 products, the AN‑16SBR System Bridge allows up to
sixty‑four channels of digital audio data to transfer over a single Cat‑5e cable.
System Bridges can be mounted in any standard 19” audio rack .
The System Bridge is also compatible with Aviom’s Pro16 Monitor Mixing
System products, which include the A‑16II and A‑16R Personal Mixers. The
16‑channel data for up to four separate monitor systems or monitoring zones
can be transmitted over a single Cat‑5e cable by using a System Bridge.
Individual A‑Net output streams from a System Bridge can be connected to
Pro16 A‑Net distributor products such as the A‑16D and A‑16D Pro to create
digital splits as needed.
P N
ote
: The data from the A‑Net Bridge port on the AN‑16SBR cannot be
directly connected to an A‑Net distributor product.
AN-16SBR Rear Panel Connections
The rear panel of the AN‑16SBR System Bridge contains four EtherCon Cat‑5
connectors which can be connected to Pro16 products. The ports labeled A,
B, C, and D on the rear of the System Bridge are used to connect I/O pairs of
compatible Pro16 devices.
There is a one‑to‑one relationship between the pairs of like‑named ports on
the System Bridge rear panels. The Pro16 device connected to port A on one
System bridge is always feeding A‑Net to the device connected to port A on
the matching System Bridge, etc.
