Determining the audio formats available
The Profile XP system can be configured to operate with analog, AES/EBU digital, and
digital embedded (SMPTE 272M Level A) audio. An interface chassis is required for
analog audio and AES/EBU digital audio as shown in the table. If you are using only
embedded audio, no interface chassis is required.
NOTE: Interface chassis must be connected to both Audio boards for operation
with 32 channels of analog or AES/EBU digital audio.
