Description
DirectOut EXBOX.AES
The DirectOut EXBOX.AES is
an AES/MADI converter with eight AES I/Os capable of converting up to
16 audio channels from AES to MADI and vice-versa.
At the same time serial data (RS-232) can be embedded into or de-embedded from the MADI signal. All settings such as the signal routing, baud rate and the scaling factor are accessible on the front panel of the device.
EXBOX.AES extends MADI environments by offering straightforward AES conversion and simplifies serial data communication with remote devices using the MADI line.
Cascading / Signal Routing
The signal routing is
adjustable in blocks of 16 channels. Cascading of four devices enables
conversion of all 64 audio channels of a MADI signal.
Bit transparent
The embedder can be deactivated to
embed user bits from the AES inputs (OFF) or bypassed to preserve the
incoming user bits (UBit Bypass).
RS-232 compliance
The serial data is embedded in MADI user bits 1 - 9 and the process is compatible with the embedder used by Studer/Soundcraft.
Clocking
Intelligent automatic clocking speeds up the setup and enhances reliability.
All-Round Functionality
EXBOX.AES offers highest
flexibility as it provides two module based MADI ports. The customer may
choose from modules of three different interface types:
- optical SC (single-mode or multi-mode)
- coaxial (BNC)
- SFP
The Small Form Factor Pluggable cage can be fitted with any SFP module suitable for the particular application.
Safe, reliable operation
Two robust Hirose sockets allow
connection of up to two external power supply units or battery packs
for safe operating conditions with redundancy.
Rack-Ready
Each EXBOX can be mounted into a
standard 19’’-rack by using the optional kit BOXMOUNT.XL. Up to three
devices may fit side-by-side within 1 RU.
EXBOX.AES - a handy and powerful AES front end for MADI systems.
