Audio clock domain

All CobraNet devices on the same network or VLAN segment must operate within the same audio clock domain. A system wide isochronous audio clock is automatically generated. A NION or CAB will always receive its audio clock from CobraNet.

However, if NIONs are operating within an XDAB cluster, the behavior is different:

• In the XDAB master, the CobraNet clock can be taken from the CobraNet network as a CobraNet Performer or the XDAB clock can be supplied as the CobraNet Conductor. Normal CobraNet clocking concepts apply.
• In XDAB slaves, the CobraNet clock will always be taken from XDAB and will not be taken from the CobraNet network audio clock directly. The clock will be taken indirectly from CobraNet via the clock generated by the XDAB master.
