REAC Splitters
You can connect a MASTER device to a REAC splitter and divide
(split) the audio signal from MASTER to multiple SPLIT units.

You can also connect REAC splitters in series to extend the REAC
path. You can connect up to four units in series.

You can use an S-4000D or an Ethernet switching hub as a REAC
splitter. Switching hubs that satisfy the following conditions can be
used.
5 1000BASE-T-compatible device (IEEE 802.3ab, Gigabit Ethernet)
supporting 100BASE-TX (IEEE 802.3u, Fast Ethernet)
5 Full-duplex (simultaneous two-way) communication
The network transmission time between REAC devices is
approximately 375 microseconds, but when communication is
made via a REAC splitter, additional latency of approximately 200
microseconds per device occurs.
REAC Ports on the M-5000
This unit has two REAC ports: A and B. The SPLIT/BACKUP port can
split or duplicate the REAC A or B connection.
About the REAC SPLIT/BACKUP Port
The SPLIT/BACKUP port is used to split or back up (duplicate) REAC
A or B. In the REAC / SLOT window REAC A/B tab, you use <TARGET>
to specify split/backup for either the REAC A or B port.
Whether split or backup is performed is set automatically according
to the connected equipment.
If the device connected to the SPLIT/BACKUP port supports a REAC
backup (redundant) connection, and a problem occurs in the main
REAC connection (the REAC A or B port), the system automatically
switches to the backup REAC connection (the SPLIT/BACKUP port).
When using an Ethernet switching hub to extend the REAC backup
connection, use the same model of switching hub for both the
main REAC connection and the backup REAC connection.
When a split REAC device is connected to the SPLIT/BACKUP port,
audio is distributed to the split REAC device.
The REAC SPLIT/BACKUP port is compatible with REAC EMBEDDED
POWER, and can supply power to devices compatible with REAC
EMBEDDED POWER.
When a REAC device is connected, the system automatically detects
whether the device is compatible with REAC EMBEDDED POWER
and supplies power if compatible. Power is not supplied if the
device is not compatible with REAC EMBEDDED POWER.
