What is the audio delay through CobraNet?
256 samples (5-1/3 milliseconds [thousands of a second]) of delay is incurred by the buffering of audio data into Ethernet packets in CobraNet transmitters and receivers. Additional delay is incurred in analog to digital conversion, digital to analog conversion and sample rate conversion. These additional delays are usually on the order of dozens of samples. Data on an Ethernet network travels at the speed of light. The time for data to traverse a 2 kilometer network is several microseconds (millionths of a second). This delay is inconsequential in light of the delays enumerated above. Therefore, the audio delay is considered constant from any input to any output anywhere on the network.
