Part Number: CC8530
I am designing a wireless audio system, and ultimately trying to determine if I will need multiple protocol masters. The system will consist of:
1. Two audio source devices. Each source will transmit a single channel audio signal. Both sources will be simultaneously connected to the receiving system.
2. A receiving system. Here, each audio signal (two total) needs to be sent out independently to a DSP for further processing.
In an ideal scenario, a single cc85xx protocol master could be configured to output each mono signal (not mixed), into a single stereo output.
However, after reading the documentation and working with the Pure Path Wireless Configurator, it appears this may not be possible using a single protocol master. If my understanding is correct, for systems with multiple slaves, the audio mapping (slave -> master) will be the same, effectively mixing the audio from each slave source (i.e two mono microphone slaves can only be configured to produce a single mono output at the receiver. Or - two stereo microphone slaves can only be configured to produce a single stereo output ).
Questions:
Is my above understanding correct?
Do I need two protocol master chips to achieve separate outputs from two slaves?
Thank you!
