5.2.2 CobraNet: Input

To access the 

CobraNet Input

 window, click on the

 CobraNet

 tab, 

then click on the 

CobraNet Input

 tab. The 

CobraNet Input 

window 

will open (Figure 5.3).

The DBC Network Bridge can accept three Bundles from the CobraNet
network and route the audio Slots of those Bundles into the process-
ing and mixing of the unit. These three Bundles (RxB, RxC, and RxD), 
are assigned Bundle numbers by the Bundle window. If a transmitter 
is supplying audio on that Bundle, the Active lamp will light. The 
'Seek' button allows scanning of the multicast Bundles (Bundles 1-
255) to see if any of the Bundles have audio data on them. If audio is 
detected on any of those Bundles, the Bundle number will stop at that 
point.

The individual audio Slots are assigned one of the eight CobraNet 
Inputs to the DBC Network Bridge. Once the eight CobraNet Inputs 
have been assigned Bundles and Slots, they can be used by the unit 
for routing and processing. The CobraNet Inputs each have a unique 
label for identification and can be routed into the processor in several 
ways. The Input Processing Sections can accept either the analog 
input or

the CobraNet Input auxiliary analog input, or a digital AES/

EBU input. In addition, a CobraNet Input can be routed directly to a 
corresponding AUX Output. The monitor output has access to all eight 
CobraNet Inputs in its mix.

Links from any of the 8 bundle audio channels can be drawn by click-
ing on the pink boxes and dragging the wire to the chosen input. The 
‘Default Link’ button sets up the first bundle to link to the respective 8 
CobraNet inputs, while the ‘Unlink’ button removes all links.
