OCTO-BUS Digital Audio Network

OCTO-BUS is a digital audio network, which carries audio in real-time, control data and power over CAT5 cables.

The synchronous buss protocol allows transmission of up to 8 simultaneous channels of bidirectional digital audio including control data and system monitoring without any audible latency. OCTO-BUS can be conﬁ gured either as a star or as a daisy-chained audio network without the need for routers or hubs.

Using OCTO-BUS the KLOTZ DIGITAL VADIS platform can be expanded by a range of highly innovative products which help to make the installation of studios faster, easier and much more cost-efﬁcient. The extremely versatile OCTO-BUS network architecture is easily expandable, allowing it to grow with the ever-changing needs of modern audio facilities.

Connecting OCTO-BUS input and output boxes
A mix of up to 16 input and output boxes can be daisy-chained to one single CAT5 cable. This single CAT5 cable connects to one of the 4 RJ45 connectors provided on the VADIS OCTO-BUS interface card. OCTO-BUS is a truly bidirectional protocol, enabling any combination of input boxes, output boxes and all other available OCTO-BUS control devices to be arbitrarily connected to CAT5 buss cables.

Once the OCTO-BUS units are connected, the VADIS control software manages the signal distribution. All inputs can be dynamically assigned to any combination of output devices either on the same buss or any number of busses. Additional output devices can be added to provide signal splits and distribution of the same input.

The maximum buss distance between the VADIS frame and the last input or output box is 200m (600ft).

Applications:

In studios for connecting MIC or LINE signals
On stage as active stage-boxes
In the Master Control Room as a studio extension
In OB-vans
