Digital Noise
Filtering
Conducted and radiated digital noise can wreak havoc on power
supplies and sensitive circuits. Filtering is heavily employed
throughout to stop conducted digital noise infecting power
supplies and sensitive circuits, and greatly reduce radiated noise.
pLINK Port The pLINK port provides communication to an external device
via the RS232 protocol, allowing easy integration into
automation and control solutions. The pLINK port also supports
the capability to receive a master clock from an external source,
such as an external DAC.
RC-5 Remote
Input
Standard CD player RC-5 remote control codes can be used to
control the basic functions of the SXCD. Directly connecting to
a device via a 3.5mm stereo plug cable allows easy integration
into automation and control solutions. Alternately, by using an
infrared (IR) receiver, commands can be received from any off-
the-shelf universal or programmable remote controls which use
the standard CD player RC-5 remote codes.
Multiple
Media
Support
By default, the computer optical drive supports a multitude of
media types and formats – allowing the SXCD to function
consistently and reliably with CD-DA, CD-R and CD-RW
media, including Mixed Mode audio and data content.
No Display Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) with Cold Cathode Fluorescent
Lamp (CCFL) backlighting, and Vacuum Fluorescent Displays
(VFD) both require an inverter for operation. Inverters typically
run at frequencies greater than 100kHz and are a source of
conducted and radiated radio frequency (RF) interference. By
excluding the display, this source of RF interference has been
eliminated and cannot infect the precious power supplies or
sensitive digital and analog circuitry.
