Introduction

The S-OPT is a REAC optical converter that converts RSS Digital Snake System REAC signals to and from optical signals for long distance digital audio transmission. By using the REAC optical converter and optical cables (sold separately), the REAC transmission distance can be extended to a maximum of 2 kilometers.

Main Features


The S-OPT optical connectors are Neutrik OpticalCon® connectors and support Mobile Fiber Cable from Neutrik. This optical interface provides for transmitting audio over long distances via optical while still taking advantage of the RSS Digital Snake System’s mobility. OpticalCon® provides a Dual LC optical connector (standard LC-Duplex connector, IEC 61754-20) enabling the use of less expensive optical cables for with the RSS Digital Snake System.Two S-OPT units can be connected using the proprietary POWER LINK cable (ARC-15, sold separately) so that redundant power can be supplied from one unit to the other. If power to a single unit is interrupted due to some situation or is damaged, both units will still continue to operate.

Example Configurations

 

S-OPT :: Basic System Example Basic System - This system setup is for anyone needing REAC transmission over 100 meters and up to 2 km (1.2 miles) Connect an Ethercon cable from an S-1608 Stage Unit to the S-OPT stage unit. Connect an OpticalCon or standard optical cable from stage S-OPT to the FOH S-OPT. Simple connect an EtherCon cable from the FOH S-OPT to the M-400 (or M-380) V-Mixer Console. If you require more than 2 km in distance you can gain an additional 100 meters of Cat5e cable from the stage and FOH positions giving you a total of 2.2 km in distance.
S-OPT :: 32 x 8 Digital Snake Example (Redundant) 32 x 8 Digital Snake (Redundant) - This system is a must for anyone requiring REAC transmissions over 100 meters and requires redundancy. The S-4000S 3208 Stage Unit has built in redundant REAC ports so simply connect two S-OPT’s at the stage and FOH positions. Two S-OPT units can be connected using the proprietary POWER LINK cable (ARC-15, sold separately) so that redundant power can be supplied from one unit to the other. If power to a single unit is interrupted due to an unexpected situation or is damaged, both units will still continue to operate.
