Hydranet8

HydraNet gives you all of the tried and tested benefits of CobraNet allowing you to meet the constantly changing requirements of distributed media projects. When the goalposts are moved, HydraNet ensures you are on the winning team. The completely open-ended, modular and customisable environment allows a media control and transport system to change with the requirements of the project rather than with budget or other limiting factors.

High speed Ethernet is used to send 24bit 48kHz audio up to 2 kilometres and beyond (100m using standard CAT-5 cabling), standard network hardware is used to make HydraNet both cost effective, reliable and convenient. HydraNet is capable of utilising the available capacity of an existing IT infrastructure and can be introduced into many environments with minimum expenditure and downtime. Dynamic routing, remote control and digital processing are all possible within a flexible environment that can expand with your project.

 Alongside the famous CobraNet technology exist a wealth of additional features such as GPIO connectivity and analog audio input s /output s. Thi s mixture of technology provides you with a versatile platform that allows media interfacing and processing, in addition to remote control of devices both inside and outside of the audio/video domain.
