CobraNet®

CobraNet is a technology from Cirrus Logic that provides distribution of isochronous digital audio, control and monitoring data over Ethernet. CobraNet operates at the Data Link Layer also referred to as OSI Layer 2 or MAC layer.  Note that in most cases CobraNet can coexist with regular data on an Ethernet network, because CobraNet packets are just regular Ethernet packets that have a CobraNet identifier.  For more information see www.cobranet.info

AudioScience has developed the ASI6416 CobraNet sound card and the ASI2416 1RU CobraNet interface.  The ASI6416 looks just like a regular AudioScience sound card to software applications, allowing multiple streams of audio to be played and recorded to/from the network.  The ASI2416 allows audio equipment to be interfaced to the CobraNet network.  It can be configured with analog and/or AES/EBU I/O as well as GPIO for control and monitoring.

ASIRoute is a software application that sets up the routing of audio streams between any CobraNet device on the network (not just AudioScience products).
