3.2 Aurora 16 in computer recording system with AES16/AES16e
This configuration facilitates 16 channels of Analog input and output to a computer installed with a
Lynx AES16 AES/EBU Interface. The routing features of the Aurora 16 are augmented by the
latency-free monitoring and routing features of the AES16, and external control is possible with the
external remote control software. Communication between the AES16 and Aurora 16 occurs via two
CBL-AES1605 cables, each of which transmits 8 channels of AES I/O. There are several possibilities
for establishing a working clock scheme. For this example, we will have the AES16 be the clock
master, and the Aurora 16 slave to the clock coming in to the Digital input. This arrangement allows
great flexibility since the AES16 will respond automatically to sample rates requested from software,
avoiding the need to manually establish sample rates that match the current project rate. Pictured are
CBL-AIN85 and CBL-AOUT85 cables attached to the Analog Input and Output ports. These could be
connected to any valid, line level signal source or monitoring destination.
Aurora 8
This configuration is also valid for an Aurora 8, but with half the channel count.
