Multi-Modular I/O System
Additional Pro64 devices can be connected using either Port A or Port B to expand the network. In both cases,
the active channels will be available at the output device. On an F6, either the Cat-5 or fiber ports can be used.
Remember that the entire 64-channel A-Net stream (at 44.1/48kHz) is always received and transmitted through
every Pro64 device. When using remote control via the RCI and MCS, the RCI can be connected to any open A-Net
port anywhere in the network.

In this diagram, note that additional Pro64 devices can be connected to any available port as indicated by the dotted line.
Here, Port B of the input device is connected to Port A of the output device, the opposite of Example 1. The
same results can be achieved by connecting Port A on the input device to Port A on the output device and by
connecting Port B on the input device to Port B on the output device.
Digital Copies (Splits)
Any number of digital copies (also referred to as digital splits) can be created by simply connecting additional
Pro64 output devices and setting them to use the same A-Net Slots as the input source. The order and location of
the devices in the network does not matter; output devices can be connected before or after any input device in
a daisy chain. Optionally, Pro64 devices can be connected in parallel using a Pro64 merger hub such as the MH10
or MH10f.

In this example, note that the A-Net connections between devices can be any combination of the A and B ports. Any open port can be used to
connect additional Pro64 devices.
