49. Network

50. Ethernet Network Ethernet is THE worldwide network standard
Components can be installed anywhere
Using Ethernet vs. proprietary cabling means reducing
design cost
cabling cost
training efforts
the cable length of loudspeaker lines,
and re-using existing cables

51. Ethernet network

52. Audio latency Challenges solved:
Protocol critical to time delays
QoS (Quality of Service)
Internal switches (system heterogeneity)
The number of announcements is limited by the bandwidth available (0.5MBit per announcement) up to 120ch. in a 100Mbit network
Network is permanently monitored
Up to 250 DOM

53. Input to output:
Between DOM:
0,23 ms (!)
30,3 ms

54. Audio latency
Low latency is important only to stereo applications in theater, concert hall, etc.
In VA/PA applications not relevant:
Sound wave run in 30ms are about 9,9m (0.03s*330m/s)
Usually there are several speakers and reflections around
This cause many reflections with a delay of much more than 30ms.
