I/O Slots
The DME64N has four I/O card slots, and the DME24N has one I/O card slot. The number of audio input
channels available on the DME64N/24N can be increased by plugging the appropriate mini-YGDAI I/O
card(s) into the available card slot(s). Some types of cards also provide control and/or word clock transmission
and reception functionality.
Refer to “I/O Card Installation” on page 22 of this manual for card installation instructions.

CobraNet Connection
If an MY16-C CobraNet interface card is installed in a DME64N/24N card slot it becomes possible to
transfer audio, control, and word clock signals via a CobraNet network. MY16-C equipped DME64N/24N
units can be connected to any other CobraNet compatible equipment for broad-ranging audio and word
clock signal networkability. Refer to the MY16-C Owner’s Manual for CobraNet network details.
Example: Connection to CobraNet Devices
NOTE
Control signals cannot be transferred between devices that do not use the MY16-C card in some cases.
NOTE
CobraNet is an audio networking system developed by Peak Audio (a division of Cirrus Logic, Inc.) that allows real-time
transmission and reception of multiple channels of uncompressed digital audio signals via a Fast Ethernet (100 megabits/sec.)
network. A single network cable can handle a maximum of 64 channels (128 channels bidirectional) of audio data.
