Thanks..
So a link with the CC2590 on only the audio source side (one-way audio only) should provide a 93.5 dB link budget? That is (say we are sending a 5Mbit audio signal) the acknowledge back signal requires a 2Mbit link, or will the acknowledge back signal require less bandwidth (and therefore possibly a little higher link budget?)
RE range extender:
Say you have 3 devices; A, B and C. B is the 'range extender'.
- Is this possible: Without B present, A is a master/audio source and C is a slave/audio sink.
With B present, A becomes a slave (but still audio source), B takes over as master, and C remains as audio sink.
- In this scenario, does B require 1 or 2 CC85xx devices?, assuming A/C have 1 each.
- Is it possible to make this process (adding range extender to network) transparent to the end user, given that B would always be a dumb range extender, C would always be a dumb slave/sink, and A (of which there could be multiple of) could be a microprocessor controlled unit that must be able to function as either sink or source. Or would this necessitate some form of manual control?
- The addition of the range extender would reduce the number of other devices possible by 1, right? (as B would be present on the network but not playback audio, unlike A/C/other members)
