Introduction

You can route audio between certain types of devices in your design by simply wiring them together. In the example below, the sine generator has been wired to the meter.

To wire devices together like this, switch to Wire mode by clicking the button on the toolbar, then simply drag the wiring node on the first device over to the wiring node on the second device and release the mouse button. If the link is valid, a solid line will be drawn.

Tip: Audio wiring nodes look like this: and control wiring nodes look like this: .

If the sine and meter devices were on different pages in the design, you would need to create flyoffs and use them to wire the devices together. For more information, see Wiring DSP devices together using flyoffs.

If two NioNodes are installed in the same equipment room (and they are n3 or n6 models), you can use the XDAB interfaces at the rear of the units to physically wire them together, and then manage the connections using an XDAB device in NWare.

If you want to transfer audio from a card in a NioNode to a device in your design, you need to use audio card flyoffs from the Flyoffs tab. See Routing audio to and from NioNode audio cards.

If you want to transfer audio from a NioNode to another NioNode or a CAB, and the connection runs across a network, you need to use CM-1 (CobraNet) or DLM (Dante) flyoffs. See Routing audio on CobraNet networks or Routing audio on Dante networks.
