The document discusses Roland's V-Mixing System, primarily focusing on its REAC (Roland Ethernet Audio Communication) technology, which allows low latency digital audio transfer over standard Ethernet cables, supporting up to 40 input and output channels. It details features such as the M-48 personal mixer, the S-4000S digital snake system, and the R-1000 48-track recorder, highlighting their applications in live events and recording environments. Additionally, it covers VLAN technology for efficiently managing multiple REAC networks over single cable connections.

- 2. Part of The V-Mixing System Total Integrated Solution REAC (Roland Ethernet Audio Communication) technology is the cornerstone of the V-Mixing System. REAC is Roland’s original technology for low latency, high quality digital audio transfer. REAC is an Ethernet based technology that enables multiple components to be easily integrated using lightweight Cat5e/6 cable. With just a single inexpensive cable, 40 input x 40 output channels of 24-bit uncompressed audio data (including level and control information) are transferred. Digital Snakes Enjoy superior clear sound, great intelligibility with minimal latency and the freedom to split or extend your audio sources anywhere. Bridging The S-MADI REAC Bridge enables connectivity b e t w e e n M A D I - e q u i p p e d d i g i t a l a u d i o mixers/systems to any REAC-based devices. Personal Mixers The M-48 is the “next generation” live personal mixer that offers musicians the flexibly to control exactly what they want to listen to during their performances. REAC Driver The REAC driver enables users to capture up to 40 audio channels from a Digital Snake or V-Mixing System directly into most ASIO-based DAWs via Cat5e/6 cable. Recording Multi-channel recording and playback, including virtual rehearsal is accomplished with reliability and stability using the dedicated R-1000 48-Track Recorder/Player.

More than a digital mixing console; it is the heart of a V-Mixing System ideal for any live event applications in corporate, church, education or rental/staging environments. your audio sources anywhere.your audio sources anywhere.
- 3. S-4000S Digital Snake Line-up The S-4000S is a modular digital snake system delivering 40 channels of high quality audio at up to 24-bit/96kHz all over Cat5e cables. System highlights include remote controllable XR-1 professional quality mic preamps, redundant Ethernet ports and splits using standard Ethernet hardware. The snake can be configured in various ways with either analog or digital input or output cards. The standard configuration is a 32x8 system.

- 10. Create a 40x40 Digital Snake using VLAN Using VLAN technology, a single Cat6 cable can be used to transfer 40 inputs and 40 outputs between two points using Roland Digital Snakes. 1. Using a gigabit smart switch, create a VLAN for each REAC network/path. 2. Create an additional VLAN assigned to a specific port that consists of tagged VLANs defined in step 1. 3. Setup the second smart switch with the same configuration. Two separate REAC networks are running but the smart switches have the ability to amalgamate multiple REAC networks down one physical CAT6 cable and separate out again at the other end. Setting up additional ports on the switch as“seeing”a specific VLAN allows normal splits to occur. S-4000S-4000S-4000S-0040 Port 1: Port-based VLAN = 101 Port 2: Port-based VLAN = 102 Port 1: Port-based VLAN = 101 Port 2: Port-based VLAN = 102 Port 8: Tagged VLAN = 101 & 102 Port 8: Tagged VLAN = 101 & 102 40 INPUTS40 OUTPUTS 40 OUTPUT40 INUTS S-4000S-4000 S-4000S-0040 Set up 3 VLANs: One for each REAC network and one to group the two. Port 1 and 2 dedicated to separate REAC networks (VLANs 101 and 102) with port 3 (VLAN 103) being a combination of both VLANs tagged. Smart Switch A Smart Switch B
