3 System overview
The Oxygen 5 Digital is a digital modular audio system that can solve your digital mixing/routing
requirements in your broadcast studio or in your complete broadcast facility. The modular system can
be used in all your mixing/routing applications like on-air broadcast, self-op, production and voice
tracking.
3.1 System parts
To make a functional mixing console you require at least a 19” rack with a DSP card (32 stereo
channels), the desired I/O cards and a control surface that can control all the mixing power. The
connection between the 19” rack(s) and control surface(s) rely on a network protocol that is been
called MambaNet.
MambaNet works on Ethernet layer 2, there for no IP-addresse s have to be setup for the ‘real-time’
functionality.
WARNING: Do not connect multiple Oxygen 5 Digital engines/racks in the same Ethernet
network (Layer 2)
To connect surface(s) and 19” rack(s) you can built on this known Ethernet standard with common
switches till advanced managed switches with all the security solutions as there are STP (spanning
tree protocol), Trunking etc.
For (remote) configuration the well known webbrowser is used to access the consoles webserver. Of
course this happens on a IP-based level of communication, which makes it possible to configure
system over the internet.
The defaults IP-addresse s for configuration pages are:
http://192.168.0.200 for the configuration in main menu
http://192.168.0.23x for the controller surface configuration. (for the first surface set x to 4, for a
second surface set x to 5, etc).
To prevent other people to access the Oxygen 5 Digital configuration pages you need to logon.
The default logon is:
Username: service
Password: service
This account may change, which is explained in Appendix B.
Network specialists can find some more information in chapter 16 (Appendix A).

All control communication takes place with MambaNet and gives the surface flexibility and power to
the Oxygen 5 Digital digital audio system. To understand the Oxygen 5 Digital audio system it would
help to know some principles of MambaNet.
MambaNet definitions:
- Objects
a fader, switch will have to trigger an action in the Oxygen 5 Digital digital audio system. In
MambaNet, we call these faders and switches ‘objects’.
- Nodes
In hardware the faders and switches are grouped on modular blocks (think of a single PCB),
such blocks are represented as ‘nodes’ in MambaNet.
- Engine
In the Oxygen 5 Digital digital system the engine is in fact your mixing console. The functions
available in the ‘engine’ can connect to one or more objects found in your network.
In practice, this means you can connect any surface element like switches and faders to any function
of your mixing console(s). From now on, you can design your own functionality at the control surface.
Information for manufacturers and developers is located at http://www.mambanet.org, its possible to
make your own communication with the mixing system; we have a MambaNet library available for
Windows (DLL) and Linux (lib).
For professional developers it is possible to buy a Manufacture ID from Axel Technology so you are
able to make your own equipment compatible with the MambaNet protocol. Secondly, local radio
stations can use manufacturer ID 0xFFFF for some custom implementations.
(Al manufacturer IDs are unique except the 0xFFFF, which is free for ‘in-house’ implementation)

3.4 Principle of operation
3.4.1 Oxygen 5 Digital system
The Oxygen 5 Digital system will be build up around the matrix/router that gives a lot of routing
flexibility. Up to 4 DSP cards can be inserted to create mixing power as requested. For example, you
can create with one Oxygen 5 Digital system (equipped with one DSP card):
- A single mixing console with 32 stereo modules and 16 stereo busse s
- Multiple mixing consoles (maximal 4), 3 consoles are used in our example:
1 consoles with 16 stereo modules and 6 stereo busses
1 consoles with 12 stereo modules and 6 stereo busses
1 console 4 stereo modules and 4 stereo busse s
This makes clear we do not talk over a ‘mixing console’, the Oxygen 5 Digital is an audio-platform!
Depending on the configuration, you can make your own studio console(s)/surface funcionality. Al this
power is controlled and configured by the Oxygen 5 Digital engine. This engine configuration is
described in detail later on.
3.4.2 Mixing console
As mentioned before the configuration is done within the Oxygen 5 Digital engine, now we will give a
short overview/introduction on the structure of the mixing console(s) platform solution of the engine.
For the configuration of the busses, monitor busses and modules you can setup to which console it
should belong (1-4). Finally the engine will extract a ‘assignment’ picture from this information which
shows clearly the console blocks.
