Optocore is a synchronous network, which are the advantages?
Audio & video are synchronous signals, therefore the best way to transport it is via a synchronous network. The data and the clock are running together and all the devices connected to the network (Optocore and non Optocore) work with the same clock. One of the biggest advantage of this style is the extremely low latency of the network. From any input to any output (digital to digital) that amount is only 41uS. This is a fixed figure, not dependant from the signals path, the number of the channels used, the length of the fibres and includes the time necessary for a complete matrix. Thanks to this design, the Word Clock is available at any node, from devices equipped with digital In&Out. The theoretically advantages of the Asynchronous transmission (i.e. the re-transmission of lost data packages) are useless in real time situation, such the Live applications.
