M-Series 11 / 28 rev. 1.2
the M-Series device and transmitted via fibre optical connection, leaving the other channels to be shared with the
other network devices. Networks with M-Series devices and other Optocore allow the transport of a huge amount
of digital signals, e.g. 768 audio channels with a sample rate of 48 kHz, 32 RS485 channels and three video
channels. Depending on the type of fibre optic transceiver, distances from 700 m up to 120 km can be covered.
The dual optical interfaces with data transfer rates up to 2 Gbps are equipped with LC-connectors, commonly
used and absolutely reliable in permanent installations. For rough applications such as touring and live
productions the 1U OptoCon panel, with rugged and secure fibre optic connectors can be added to the rack.
All Optocore devices are designed and built using the latest programmable microprocessors and FPGA (field
programmable gate array) logic circuitry. This allows the devices internal logic to be updated, in the field, ensuring
a continual state-of-the-art device.
Optocore devices, and complete networks, are configured and operated using the OPTOCORE CONTROL
software. The software provides access to all configuration parameters and controls needed to operate the
system, including: naming channels, setting gains and phantom power, routing as well as recall and capture of
partial or full system configurations. The software can be operated offline as well as online with level meters for all
channels on the network.
