transported by carrying multiple channels of audio over a single CAT-5/6 cable. Audio inputted
via a MediaNet “access point” can be shared synchronously with all other access points
connected to the MediaNet network. Because of its ability to support multiple independently
clocked sources, MediaNet is the only solution capable of transporting multiple compressed
audio channels, such as 5.1 and 7.1 digital surround sound over a Cat-5/6 cable.
MediaNet access point converts the signal to digital and outputs it via two Cat-5/6 cables (the main
transport cable, and one redundant backup). The audio is transported to all other access points
on the network, (in this case only Access Point B) where it is converted back to analog and
outputted to a speaker via a Y cable. Up to 56 audio channels can be transported this way over a
single 100MBps Cat-5/6 cable. Audio channels existing at Access B can also be transported to
Access Point A simultaneously over the same cable.
