<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stably transmit timing signals of a word clock by using the same transmission path as that for waveform data when acoustic signals are transmitted between a plurality of apparatuses. <P>SOLUTION: A node includes: receiving I/F 31 for receiving data coming from the outside; data input-output unit 10 for performing data input/output processes on received data; a first and second transmission interfaces 34, 32 for transmitting processed data to the outside, and selectors 35, 36 for selecting either of the first and second transmission interfaces 34, 32 as an interface used for transmitting processed input and output data. In a network formed by connecting a plurality of communication nodes in series, a control means for controlling the selectors 35, 36 so as to form a loop-like transmission path is provided. As the result, the formation of a network, including the loop-like data transmission path through which a packet including an acoustic signals is circulated at sampling intervals of the acoustic signals, is made possible. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
