Momentum System
The Momentum digital snake system by Pro Co is designed to replace traditional analog audio wiring anywhere audio distribution is needed. By capturing audio at the source, converting it to digital audio and distributing it over a standard Ethernet network, many of the difficulties in executing the increas- ingly complicated audio systems of today can be simplified. By reducing the amount of field terminations, installation becomes less time consuming. Texas Instruments, Burr Brown mic preamps and Cirrus Logic digital converters provide a platform that is as close to analog as possible without the inherent problems that are associated with traditional wiring.
Flexibility and expandability are enhanced through the use of modules for inputs, outputs and DSPs. Signal routing becomes as easy as clicking a button. You can place inputs, outputs, DSPs and controls anywhere on the Momentum network. Also digital interfaces are available for seamless system integra- tion into many of the popular formats.
Features
The Momentum network uses standard Gigabit Ethernet technology. With using standard Ethernet technology, the Momentum system can be setup and controlled using standard Ethernet products.
