[QUOTE="Robert Lofgren, post: 98897, member: 2447"] Re: alternative uses for P16 / Ultranet port Well, since I'm a hardware hacker and I don't know how far away the usb recording card is - Here is my thinking. Today I got myself a beagleboard-black that I believe can natively understand aes3 that the ultranet builds upon. Running some linux distro or some nice rtos it should be possible to extract those 16 channels of ultranet wisdom and store the audio stream in a proper format on a disk. Only 16 channels? Yes, but if you have at least one s16 you get access to another 16 channels up to a total of 48 channels! Can the BBB handle it? I don't know... Time will tell, unless I get bored. Another cool feature would be to convert ultranet into digital outputs. I mentioned adat before but we can have spdif or aes3 instead. The mcu that BBB is based on have some really nice features for audio! Just for fun I've also looked into aes50 and how its implementation is specified. Using that info it might be possible to decode the aes50 ethernet-alike frames. But this is probably not on my list of things to do. However an interesting question comes to mind. Since aes3 and aes50 are non-properitary does this mean that 3'rd party implementations are licence/royalty free? The adat protocol isn't free as far as I can tell. [/QUOTE]
