To capture the full value of SmartBuss networks you need a comprehensive application that manages and leverages the networked appliances. SmartPath is supplied free of charge and enables real time network configuration and monitoring. Control and configuration functions use a dedicated 6.144Mb/s API channel embedded within the SmartBuss management architecture. SmartPath is a Windows application that uses the PC's Ethernet network interface (UDP) for communications to the Control Port on the AVIO Edge Server, SB101C, SB101F or SB101DF Network modules.
Networks using the audio output card DAA424-DSP includes a suite of user functions featuring a coefficient configured, fixed-program, 24 bi-quad per channel architecture. Combinations of filter functions can be achieved using the bi-quads; for example, a 2nd order Butterworth low pass filter requires one bi-quad.
OEM's can create more advanced end user GUI applications, leveraging functions such as audio DSP signal processing or video routing, all from from within a single application using the SmartPathLite SDK.
