The forthcoming IBC Show will see Optocore launch the Y3R-TP module, which provides an interface for Optocore’s Sane network via Yamaha mini-YGDAI slots.
Fully compatible with all Yamaha pro devices, the module features 16 input/16 output audio channels, with word clock to/from the slot, to/from the network, and word clock transport to any device in the network.
The module’s two Sane ports enable connection of multiple Y3R cards to the standalone Sane network or to allow it to function as a Cat5-based extension to a 2Gbit Optocore ring. There is also a LAN slot, since all Optocore devices create a 100Mbit LAN network, and a 10/100Mbit Ethernet virtual switch to any Ethernet-enabled Optocore device. Also incorporated is a USB/RS232/Remote port for direct transport of the Yamaha HA Remote protocol via Optocore.
The card also offers Yamaha Emulation Mode, making it possible to control Optocore preamps from four different consoles.
