The 861 announcement makes mention of an upgrade path for existing users. For G68 users, the G68 appears not to have an upgrade path - is that a correct understanding?

Cheers,
Ado

So you are saying there is 2 Channel Cat5/RJ45 (SpeakerLink) and 8 Channel Cat5/RJ45 (MMHR)?

Hi George,
Yes; and as SpeakerLink also carries Meridian comms and control signals it would also enable say volume control to be relayed from a Sooloos Control:10 screen.

Regards,
Carl.

According to the datasheets the G68v2/G61Rv2 now have 900 MIPS in stead of 750 MIPS.

One 53671 was added. For SpeakerLink ?

Yes, this is a significant change.

And I wonder if Trifield has been fixed?

Looking at Meridian-audio.info I see that the januari 2009 datasheet also mentiones the 900 MIPS!

The one from july 2008 has 750 MIPS. What changed ?

As far as i know: there was a C + D and an E + F DSP card with total of 4 * 150 mips processors
On the IE42 there is a 150 mips processor.

One is missing to get to 900

Could that be the OE22 ?

According to Meridian, the G61R, G68 and 861 always had 900 MIPS. The 750 MIPS literature was mistaken. Search on G61R and MIPS in the 2009 forum to find the thread.

there is a AB00 card which has 2 lower speed DSP's as well (56002 66MHz - 20 Mips)

Also the analogue input cards like the IA45 could have a DSP. Presumably they just use the same DSP engine for multiple functions. That could be the missing one (if you have that card)
