CobraNet is …
An audio networking system developed by Peak Audio (a division of Cirrus Logic, Inc.) that allows
real-time transmission and reception of uncompressed digital audio signals via a Fast Ethernet
network cable. The network can simultaneously handle up to 64 input and output channels, for a
total of 128 channels (64 channels if repeater hubs are used). The maximum number of channels
than can be handled in practical situations may be lower due to performance limitations imposed
by the equipment used and the condition of the audio signal.
Currently, the CobraNet network will handle 16, 20, or 24-bit audio at sampling rates of 48 or 96 kHz.
The CobraNet network is capable of transmitting control data at the same time as the audio
signals. The types of control data transmitted are determined by the equipment used.
The CobraNet network imposes a 5.33-millisecond (2.67 milliseconds or 1.33 milliseconds with
some settings) latency on transferred audio signals.
Refer to the Peak Audio home page for more details: http://www.peakaudio.com/
■
Bundles
Audio is transmitted over the CobraNet network in units known as “bundles.” These bundles are
processed at the receiving end to reconstitute the original audio signals. In the case of the MY16-C
a bundle can contain from 3 to 8 channels. Each bundle is identified by a number from 0 to 65,279,
and audio transmission via the network becomes possible when the same bundle number is
specified at both the transmitting and receiving devices. Bundles can be transmitted and received
over the entire network as long as sufficient network resources are available. The system is
designed so that each device can transmit and receive up to 8 bundles simultaneously, but the
actual number of bundles that can be handled will depend on the capabilities of the equipment
used. The MY16-C can be set to handle 2 transmit bundle numbers and 2 receive bundle
numbers. The bundle numbers can be specified via the rotary switches on the MY16-C card itself,
or via the device or software used by the device in which the card is installed. The procedure for
setting the MY16-C bundle numbers is described in the "Controls & Functions" section on page 8.

Multicast Bundles and Unicast Bundles
Two types of bundle can be used with CobraNet: “multicast” bundles and "unicast" bundles.
Multicast bundles can be transmitted from a single device to all devices on the network, while
unicast bundles are transferred from a single transmitting device to a single receiving device or a
limited number of receiving devices.
Unicast bundles are only sent to devices which have been set to the same bundle number as the
transmitting device. Multicast bundles are sent to all devices on the network regardless of their
settings, but only bundles with the specified bundle number(s) are processed. For this reason
multicast bundles make heavy use of network resources and it is recommended that the maximum
number of bundles be limited to 4 (32 channels). Unicast bundles should be employed when it is
necessary to handle 5 or more bundles at a time.
Different number ranges are used for multicast and unicast bundles: multicast bundles are
numbered 1 through 255, while unicast bundles are numbered 256 through 65,279.

Conductor and Performers
On any CobraNet network one device generates a timing signal that all other devices receive and
are synchronized to. The device that generates the synchronization signal is known as the
“conductor,” while all other devices are “performers.”
The conductor for the network is automatically assigned and need not be specified by the operator.
When an MY16-C is assigned to be the conductor for the network, the LED indicator to the right of
the connector that is connected to the network will light orange. If the conductor fails for some
reason, conductor status is automatically switched to another device on the network.
Since the conductor transmits the synchronization signal to the performers via the network cable,
no separate word clock cables are required and the total number of cables used by the system is
kept to a minimum. Digital audio devices that are not connected to the network, however, will need
to receive a word clock signal from a device on the network in order to achieve synchronization.
n Digital signals and control data are transmitted and received by all conductor and performer
devices on the CobraNet network.
■
CobraNet Cables and Hubs
Category-5 metal cables can be used for runs of up to 100 meters, while multimode optical fiber
cables can be used for runs of up to 2 kilometers.
“Cross” and “straight” Ethernet cables are available. “Cross” cables should be used for direct
connection between two devices. Hubs and "straight" cables are required to connect 3 or more
devices. Ethernet hubs are available in “repeater” and "switching" configurations. Switching hubs
are recommended for use on CobraNet networks. The use of repeater hubs can result in excessive
network traffic, thus reducing network efficiency.
It is best to use a repeater hub that has been tested and certified by Peak Audio.
A list is available at http://www.peakaudio.com/cobranet/tested_ethernet.html.

Panel Connectors and Switches
1 [PRIMARY] and 2 [SECONDARY] Connectors
These are 100Base-T Ethernet connectors. The MY16-C provides two Ethernet connectors to
allow construction of redundancy networks employing dual (primary and secondary) circuits. The
[PRIMARY] connector is for connection to the main circuit, while the [SECONDARY] connector is
for connection to the backup circuit.
If a failure occurs on the PRIMARY circuit (e.g. a cable failure, accidental disconnection, switching
hub failure, etc.) the SECONDARY circuit will automatically take over. Basic redundancy network
setup is described on page 17.
Use STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables to protect against electromagnetic interference.
3 [LINK/FAULT] Indicators
These are the LED indicators to the left of the [PRIMARY] and [SECONDARY] connectors.
These indicators will light when a network cable is connected to the corresponding connector. The
indicator for each connector will light green when a network cable is properly connected, and will
flash while data is being properly transferred via the corresponding connector. If an error occurs on
the connected network, the appropriate indicator will light or flash red.
If an indicator lights or flashes red, try disconnecting it from the corresponding Ethernet connector.
The indicator will go out if a cable, hub, or other device connected to the network has failed. If the
indicator remains lit or flashing even after the cable is disconnected, there may be a fault in the
MY16-C card itself. In this case please refer the problem to qualified Yamaha service personnel.
4 [IN USE/CONDUCT] Indicators
These are the indicators to the right of the [PRIMARY] and [SECONDARY] connectors. These
indicators will light when power has been properly applied to the MY16-C card. These indicators
normally light green, but will light orange when the MY16-C is operating as the
network conductor.

ENGLISH
The MY16-C provides a selection of three clock synchronization modes: Network synchronization,
host synchronization 1, and host synchronization 2.
Network Synchronization
In this mode the MY16-C receives synchronization from the network. This is the normal
synchronization mode. When the MY16-C is set to network synchronization, make sure that the
audio device in which the MY16-C is installed is synchronized to the MY16-C clock.
Host Synchronization 1
Use this mode if the device in which the MY16-C is installed is synchronized to a clock signal other
than the CobraNet clock. When the Host Synchronization 1 mode is selected the MY16-C receives
synchronization from the device in which it is installed (the "host"), and that clock signal is then
supplied to the network. When the host Synchronization 1 mode is selected, make sure that the
host device is set to feed a clock signal to the MY16-C card.
n
When using the Host Synchronization 1 mode make sure that the frequency of the clock signal supplied to
the MY16-C is within ±50 ppm of 48 kHz or 96 kHz. Proper operation is not guaranteed with clock
frequencies outside this range, and problems with noise or instability may be encountered.

Carefully read the precautions on page 2 before installing the MY16-C.
1 Set the MY16-C circuit-board DIP switches and rotary switches as required for your application.
Refer to "Circuit-board Switches" on page 9 for details about the switch settings. These
switches cannot be accessed while the MY16-C card is installed in its host device. If you need
to change the circuit board switch settings, turn power to the host device off, remove the MY16-
C card, change the settings as required, then re-install the MY16-C card in the device.
2 Install the MY16-C card in an appropriate card slot on the host device. Refer to the operation
manual of the host device for details. Make sure that the host device’s power is turned off before
installing the card.
Be sure to disconnect the power cable of the main unit before installing the MY16-C.
The screws function as part of the ground line, and should be tightened securely.
3 Connect the MY16-C card to another device on the CobraNet network using category-5 cable.
Refer to the "Connection Examples" on page 16.
4 Set the bundle numbers as required.
Bundle Number Setting Procedure
Using the hexadecimal system, the left rotary switch sets the most significant bits of the number while
the right switch sets the least significant bits. In short, the value of the left switch multiplied by 16 is
added to the value of the right switch to produce 256 different values.
The relationship between the switch settings and bundle numbers is shown in the chart below. For
example, if the left switch is set to "0" and the right switch is set to "A," the corresponding bundle
number would be "10" in decimal. If the left switch is set to "1" and the right switch to "5," the bundle
number would be 277 decimal.
When adjusting rotary switches please use a screwdriver with a blade that matches the switch
groove. Attempting to use a screwdriver that is too large or too small can damage the switch.
n In some cases it is possible to set the bundle numbers from the device in which the MY16-
C card is installed, or via software running on the host device. In such cases the device’s
bundle settings take priority over the card’s rotary switches. It may also be possible to set
a wider range of bundle numbers than is available via the rotary switches.

CobraNet Redundancy Network
n Redundancy Networks
Redundancy networks employ dual (primary and secondary) circuits. Communication usually
occurs over the primary circuit, but if a failure occurs on the primary circuit – cable failure,
accidental disconnection, switch failure, etc. – the secondary circuit will automatically take over.
Redundancy networks offer significantly higher reliability compared to single-circuit systems.
