Abstract:
1. A control unit for distributing multiplexed audio data over an optical network, the control unit comprising: an audio sampler that samples a plurality of electrical signals from transducers and generates a plurality of raw audio data streams from the electrical signals, the audio sampler capable of sampling the electrical signals at a fraction of a frame synchronization rate (F a microcomputer having an audio processor function and a multiplexer function, wherein the audio processor function processes the plurality of raw audio data streams to generate a single processed audio data stream from the plurality of raw audio data streams at the frame synchronization rate (F an optical network interface that receives the multiplexed audio data stream from the microcomputer and generates an optical multiplexed audio data stream based on the multiplexed audio data stream from the microcomputer.
