12.2 Specifications
D IGITAL I/O
Number / Type Eight inputs and eight outputs,
24-bit AES/EBU format, transformer coupled
Channels 16 in/out in single-wire mode, 8 in/out in dual-wire mode
Sample Rates All standard rates and variable rates up to 192 kHz in both single wire and
dual-wire modes
Sample Rate
Conversion
Eight channels available with support for conversion ratios up to 16:1.
Dynamic range: 142 dB. Multiple-input SRC phase matching. AES16-SRC
model only.
A RCHITECTURE
Core FPGA-based core contains custom PCI interface, data routing and
formatting, device/stream control, digital mixing, clock routing and control,
and DMA engine. 256 Kbytes of on-board RAM for data buffering.
Support for field upgrades of firmware.
Audio Devices Card is visible to host applications as eight record devices and eight play
devices. Each device has two channels and can be used independently for
multi-client functionality.
C LOCKING
Sources Digital inputs 1 – 4, external word clock (XLR model only) on BNC, internal
word clock on header, on-board low-jitter crystal oscillator
SynchroLock Multi-stage, VCXO-based clock generation system with high jitter
attenuation. Wide mode tracks off-frequency clocks, narrow mode generates
ultra-low jitter output for standard frequencies.
O N - BOARD D IGITAL M IXER
Type Hardware-based, low-latency
Routing Ability to route any input to any or multiple outputs
Mixing Up to four input or playback signals mixed to any output, 40-bit precision
Status Peak levels to -114 dB on all inputs and outputs.
LS TREAM E XPANSION P ORT
Compatibility Supports Lynx LStream expansion cards including the LS-ADAT 16-
Channel ADAT I/O card
Type High-speed serial, up to 16 channels @ 24-bits. 14-pin internal connector.
C ONNECTIONS
I/O Ports Two bracket-mounted 26-pin high-density female D-sub connectors. Can be
configured to support eight channel or four channel AES connections.
External Clock 75-ohm BNC word clock input and output provided on XLR breakout cables
Internal Clock Two 75-ohm board mounted 2-pin headers for word clock input and output
