Network-powered CobraNet® Product Reference Platform
The CobraCom™ Reference Platform provides a complete, board-level design kit demonstrating the simplicity of implementing network-powered CobraNet® digital audio devices. Through real-time transport of uncompressed digital audio over ubiquitous Ethernet, CobraNet® combines the routing flexibility of a network with pro quality, multi-channel audio. By providing one channel of speaker level audio output, one channel of microphone input, 32-bit audio DSP, GPIO for a simple user interface, RS-232 and standard Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) power conditioning, many different networked products can be developed.
