NION Hardware Manual
May 17, 2011 Version 1.6.2a.0 51
Audio is bridged between the two VLANs using analog interconnects.
The same rules for Conductors would apply as in the previous scenario (on page 50).
The analog interconnect creates no digital audio clock domain issues.
Scenario 4 - Network with VLAN and digital interconnects
This scenario is similar to the previous scenario (on page 50), but substitutes digital
interconnects), such as AES/EBU or SPDI/F, for analog interconnects.
NION digital interface cards contain built-in sample rate converters (SRCs), which isolate
audio clock domains from each other and allow interchange of digital audio data
regardless of which clock domain the transmitting and sending devices are in.
VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 each have their own Conductor, so are in different audio clock
domains.
The SRC built into the digital interface card will allow exchange of digital audio between
the NIONs in the two clock domains.
Bypassing the SRC, which is possible, will cause errors on the AES/EBU interface.
