The output is synced and sample-rate converted to either the frequency of the AES Input

1 signal or an internal 48kHz clock, depending upon a menu selection.

Since, like the inputs, each AES output has two hybrids, you may have to use a routing switcher,

distribution amp, or console routing function to direct the two signals appropriately for your

installation. An alternative would be to bridge two AES inputs across each output, which is

generally an acceptable practice. Then, the mixing console’s input selector would be used to

extract the correct hybrid signal for each telephone fader channel.

AES 1 Right is from Hybrid B

2.8 Desktop Director Ports

At the time this manual was released, the following devices were available to connect to these

ports:

Desktop Director

Extended Desktop Director

Console Director

Call Controller

The Nx12 has four Desktop Director ports. Each supports two devices via simple parallel

connection, allowing up to eight total devices. However, the Nx12 can only power four devices.

If you have more than four devices, you will need to use the external Desktop Director power

supply kit, available from Telos.
(The Extended Director counts as two devices for power purposes, but uses one connection. The

Nx12 can control eight Extended Desktop Directors, but will power only one of them.)
It does not matter what port you plug your first four devices into, since all ports support power.

You can plug two devices into one port with the Desktop Director power supply kit - it comes

with a “Y” cable that allows two devices to be powered by one supply.
