Option Board AES/EBU I/O

Option Board AES/EBU I/O (O_DAP_AES_a)

Standards

  • Relevant specifications comply with AES3-X-2009, IEC 60985, and AES11-2009

Audio

  • 24-bit, transparent forwarding of PCM and compressed audio (without SRC)

  • 24 bit PCM with sample rate converter activated

  • Sample rate = 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96kHz (32 ... 196kHz @ inputs with SRC)

Important - Not all sample rates are supported by the host system, please refer to the respective information.

Inputs

  • 8 channels (4 two-channel inputs)

  • Connector type = D-Sub25 female connector

  • Impedance = 110Ohm or 75Ohm, jumper selectable (110Ohm default)

  • Input level = 0.3 ... 5Vpp @ 110Ohm differential

  • Sample Rate Converter (SRC) THD+N -120dB @ 0dBFS, 1kHz; Latency <0.3ms

Outputs

  • 8 channels (4 two-channel outputs)

  • Input sample rate converters (SRCs)

  • Electrical isolation between inputs, outputs, and device (if configured for differential mode, 110Ohm)

  • AES3 channel status management, non-audio detection

  • Master-sync capable

Connector DB-25 Pin Assignment

Please note: AES3 is running digital audio in channel pairs (stereo) on one physical pin.
