    HIGH SPEED END-TO-END CONNECTION MANAGEMENT IN A BRIDGED IEEE 1394 NETWORK OF PROFESSIONAL AUDIO DEVICES A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY of RHODES UNIVERSITY by HAROLD A. OKAI-TETTEY December 2005 Abstract A number of companies have developed a variety of network approaches to the transfer of audio and MIDI data. By doing this, they have addressed the configuration complications that were present when using direct patching for analogue audio, digital audio, word clock, and control connections. Along with their approaches, controlling software, usually running on a PC, is used to set up and manage audio routings from the outputs to the inputs of devices. However one of the advantages of direct patching is the conceptual simplicity it provides for a user in connecting plugs of devices, the ability to connect from the host plug of one device to the host plug of another. The connection management or routing applications of the current audio networks do not allow for such a capability, and instead employ what is referred to as a two-step approach to connection management. This two-step approach requires that devices be first configured at the transport layer of the network for input and output routings, after which the transmit and receive plugs of devices are manually configured to transmit or receive data. From a user’s point of view, it is desirable for the connection management or audio routing applications of the current audio networks to be able to establish routings directly between the host plugs of devices, and not the audio channels exposed by a network’s transport, as is currently the case.

  • Digital Audio Systems
    Digital Audio Systems While analog audio produces a constantly varying voltage or current, digital audio produces a non-continuous list of numbers. The maximum size of the numbers will determine the dynamic range of the system, since the smallest signal possible will result from the lowest order bit (LSB or least significant bit) changing from 0 to 1. The D/A converter will decode this change as a small voltage shift, which will be the smallest change the system can produce. The difference between this voltage and the voltage encoded by the largest number possible (all bits 1’s) will become the dynamic range. This leads to one of the major differences between analog and digital audio: as the signal level increases, an analog system tends to produce more distortion as overload is approached. A digital system will introduce no distortion until its dynamic range is exceeded, at which point it produces prodigious distortion. As the signal becomes smaller, an analog system produces less distortion until the noise floor begins to mask the signal, at which point the signal-to-noise ratio is low, but harmonic distortion of the signal does not increase. With low amplitude signals, a digital system produces increasing distortion because there are insufficient bits available to accurately measure the small signal changes. There is a difference in the type of interference at low signal levels between analog and digital audio systems. Analog systems suffer from thermal noise generated by electronic circuitry. This noise is white noise: that is, it has equal power at every frequency. It is the “hiss” like a constant ocean roar with which we are so familiar.

  • Digital Audio Systems
    Digital Audio Systems Fixed Point Or Floating Point? Digital audio systems use a form of binary coding to represent the audio data. The traditional system uses a fixed-point representation (pulse code modulation or PCM) that employs identical resolution steps to quantize the data throughout the full dynamic range. Increasing the resolution requires an increase in the number of bits. Sixteen or 24-bit PCM is used by CDs, digital tape recorders, many Flash RAM recorders, and previously by digital audio workstations (DAWs) like Pro Tools. Alternatively, the data can be encoded in a floating-point representation. Floating-point numbers consist of a mantissa (data value) and an exponent (scale factor). By using scaling, an encoded signal is able to use the entire accuracy of the measurement whether the signal is small or large. In essence, the exponent moves the decimal point within the mantissa. Early computers used for digital audio were fixed-point systems. Modern personal computers use floating point and digital audio has followed. In order to appreciate the significance of the difference between fixed and floating point math, we need to con- sider the difference between accuracy and precision. Precision is the closeness of two measured numbers, in our case audio samples, while accuracy is the proximity of the measurement to the actual value. For example, an A/D converter is precise if it gets the same value each time but it is accurate only if that value is the exact value of the sampled analog signal at the time of the sample. (A golfer is precise if he hits the same spot on the green each time: he is accurate if that spot is the hole.) Float- ing point covers a wide dynamic range of measurements, encoding very large and small numbers by changing the exponent.

  • Review of AVB by Anton Prins 29-June-2010, Version 1.00 The
    Review of AVB by Anton Prins 29-June-2010, Version 1.00 The review is based on information in IEEE documents, a basic implementation on XMOS devices, research on the protocol drafts public available and a lot of experience in the audio industry. AVB looks like a rising star for media-networking. But what is the current status of AVB and what would be the impact on existing and future products/network? A deeper look at the AVB protocols makes clear the media-network functionality is a combination of existing (draft) protocols: P802.1BA Audio Video Bridging (AVB) Systems P802.1AS Timing and Synchronization P802.1Qat Stream Reservation P802.1Qav Queuing and Forwarding But also others protocols are important for correct functionality in now-a-days AVB: IEEE1722 (or IEEE1733)/IEC 61883 Layer 2 transport protocol (Packets format) 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol 802.1Q VLAN Tagging 802.1D MAC Bridges standard To build a total system solution it is required to make more agreements on protocols for: - Management/Configuration (e.g. SNMP with AVB-MIB) - Realtime Control Protocol (e.g. MambaNet) Analyzing the 802.1AS/Qat/Qav/BA/AB and P1722 protocols makes clear AVB requires switches that have the 802.1 protocols implemented. So called AVB switches must be available to build AVB networks. Because of the multicast nature of AVB it is required these switches are strong in filtering multicast traffic. Also time stamping at the PHY is a requirement. AVB uses Ethernet ‘layer 2’ and implement protocols for a QoS guarantee at ‘level 2’. QoS is already available for IP (which is a layer 3 protocol on Ethernet).

    An Investigation of Protocol Command Translation as a means to enable Interoperability between Networked Audio Devices Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY of Rhodes University OSEDUM P. IGUMBOR February 2013 Abstract Digital audio networks allow multiple channels of audio to be streamed between de- vices. This eliminates the need for many different cables to route audio between devices. An added advantage of digital audio networks is the ability to configure and control the networked devices from a common control point. Common control of networked devices enables a sound engineer to establish and destroy audio stream connections be- tween networked devices that are distances apart. On a digital audio network, an audio transport technology enables the exchange of data streams. Typically, an audio transport technology is capable of transporting both control messages and audio data streams. There exist a number of audio transport technologies. Some of these technologies implement data transport by exchanging OSI/ISO layer 2 data frames, while others transport data within OSI/ISO layer 3 packets. There are some approaches to achieving interoperability between devices that utilize different audio transport technologies. A digital audio device typically implements an audio control protocol, which enables it process configuration and control messages from a remote controller. An audio control protocol also defines the structure of the messages that are exchanged between compli- ant devices. There are currently a wide range of audio control protocols. Some audio control protocols utilize layer 3 audio transport technology, while others utilize layer 2 audio transport technology. An audio device can only communicate with other devices that implement the same control protocol, irrespective of a common transport technol- ogy that connects the devices.

Each microphone in a studio or on a stage, for example, must have its own circuit back to the mixer. Routing of the signals is inflexible. Digital audio is frequently wired in a similar way to analog. Although several channels can share a single physical circuit (e.g., up to 64 with AES10), thus reducing the number of cores needed in a cable. Routing of signals is still inflexible and any change to the equipment in a location is liable to require new cabling. Networks allow much more flexibility. Any piece of equipment plugged into the network is able to communicate with any other. However, installers of audio networks need to be aware of a number of issues that affect audio signals but are not important for data networks and are not addressed by current IT networking technologies such as IP. This white paper examines these issues and provides guidance to installers and users that can help them build successful networked systems.

    Transmission and interconnection Pohlmann Chap 13: Audio interconnection Chap 14: PC audio Chap 15: Telecomm and Internet Audio When does the cable matter? At low frequencies (= audio) in short cables only the resistance of the cable matters, and only for power. The reactance of a cable becomes important only when the wavelength of the signal in the cable <= the length of the cable Low frequency λ >> l Moderate frequency λ ≈ l High frequency λ << l Transmission line λ << l The cable is a low-pass filter Sharp edges become soft Zero is the best threshold... + Vs 0 + Vs and low-pass pulls toward the mean 0 + Vs 0 - Vs ...so the signal should have the mean value of zero! (DC free) Loudspeaker cables If you can hear differences of less than 1 dB, you might be able to hear a miniscule difference between a thin cable and a thick cable if they are longer than 3 m. If your amplifier is prone to oscillate, a cheap resistor termination at the end of the cable might make a tiny difference to the sound. The cost for these items is on the order of 10 kr. There is no technical reason to spend big money on speaker cables.
