To help commercial audio consultants, integrators, and installers
to more easily manage the installation of CobraNet� networks,
Cirrus Logic (Nasdaq:CRUS) has launched CobraNet Discovery. A
software tool that runs on Microsoft Windows� operating systems,
CobraNet Discovery identifies and displays all CobraNet devices on
a network, allowing for real-time monitoring and display of useful
data to maintain the health and status of CobraNet devices.
CobraNet technology is the global de facto standard for
transporting uncompressed, high-definition audio through standard
Ethernet networks. Built upon the effective use of standard
Ethernet network infrastructure by CobraNet networks, the Discovery
software operates from any authorized PC connected to a CobraNet
network, eliminating the need to be physically located with the
networked audio gear that can often be spread across rooms,
buildings or miles, or in secured equipment spaces. In addition,
CobraNet Discovery allows for the easy monitoring and configuration
of key CobraNet parameters on any manufacturer�s CobraNet-enabled
product. These parameters control audio routing within the CobraNet
network, including transport latency, sample rates, sample size,
channels per bundle and transmission modes, such as unicast,
multi-unicast or multicast. CobraNet Discovery software even
delivers a report of the audio configuration of all devices on the
network, providing the installer with a means to document a
properly configured network for compliance to specifications and
for future reference. �This is another demonstration of Cirrus
Logic�s commitment to providing audio consultants, integrators,
installers, IT administrators and OEMs with a robust set of tools
and features to support rapid, predictable installation,
commissioning and maintenance of digital audio networks,� said
Steve Gray, CobraNet applications manager, Cirrus Logic. �CobraNet
Discovery software was created for the specific purpose of helping
professionals view the configurations of CobraNet-enabled products
in order to confirm proper configuration of gear, for
troubleshooting, and to make any desired changes to the audio
functionality. CobraNet Discovery software is applicable from small
venues like churches and restaurants to very large installations
like stadiums and theme parks.� �CobraNet Discovery software is the
go-to tool for documenting a diverse network�s setup and for
diagnosing and correcting any misconfigured gear,� said Bradford
Benn, business development manager for Crown International, a
member of the Harman Pro group. �I�ve advised many consultants and
integrators in proper audio network topology and installation.
CobraNet Discovery software gives me the visibility I need to �see�
the network and quickly confirm that the devices are configured
correctly.� CobraNet Discovery software also provides the ability
to upgrade the operation of CobraNet-enabled products as provided
by the manufacturers from time to time. This feature again
eliminates the need to be physically present with the product to be
upgraded, simplifying deployment and network management consistent
with common information technology (IT) best practices. CobraNet
Discovery software is free to download and use from the Cirrus
Logic CobraNet website at www.cobranet.info. Cirrus Logic Inc.
