The most significant update found in this version of software is increased network capacity, which now allows up to 24 devices to be connected to a single Optocore network. This is a move which sees Optocore addressing the increasingly frequent requirement for a larger number of distributed interfaces.
"As we work together with leading members of the pro-audio industry we become aware of these demands quite early," stated Optocore managing director, Marc Brunke. "Optocore is the specialist supplier of optical fibre network solutions and it was self-evident that we needed to find an answer. We are now very happy to present our next innovative solution - this new software opens up lots of new possibilities."
In addition to the expansion of the network size, Optocore has taken the opportunity to enhance the RS485 and serial control routing configuration part of the software. Users now have 32 generic serial control channels which can be assigned to the RS485 inputs of any compatible Optocore device. Once allocated, these serial channels then become available as outputs on any other compatible Optocore device.
