Greetings,
Does anyone have any experience in converting 48khz/24bit ADAT to ethernet between an a16 ultra and an xite-1 ( 20 meters away from each other) ?
I have seen a couple of so called ADAT - Ethernet convertors but I am not sure if scope would like this.
I would appreciate any positive guidance any of you fellow scopers may have on this.
I have heard that Copperlan may be a solution? but am unwise in the ways of this magic.

something like this?

sure.

ADAT optical is ADAT optical.

Hey Gary, Yes...I saw these which prompted my question........http://www.appsys.ch/en/products/adx-16.
If, ' in theory' it works, i think i'll go for it.
Cheers

yes, it should work. ADAT is ADAT. there's nothing special about the Scope application of ADAT lightpipe.

i've also seen these which use a AES/EBU cable instead of a cat5 cable:

there are also optical repeaters that can extend the length using optical cables, although most of those are only for sp/dif, not ADAT.
a long cable may actually work fine, even though it's beyond spec. i've had no problem with 50 and even 100 foot long optical cables in the past, although i think the extender is a better idea. if you do go for a long cable just remember that premium cables often have big connectors which may not fit side by side on the PCI card.

Like the look of these could solve massive issues for me - nice 1 !!
