LStream Interface to the Host LynxTWO/L22
The LS-AES communicates with the host card through Lynx’s proprietary LStream interface.
LStream is a high-speed TDM serial interface that supports up to 16 channels of bi-directional 24-bit
audio data with synchronization and control information.
The individual channels of the LStream interface are integrated into the host card’s on-board digital
mixer. This allows LStream data, in this case AES data, to be freely routed and mixed with the host
card’s analog and digital audio I/O. Currently, the architecture of LynxTWO/L22 digital mixer
supports a maximum of 16 input and 16 output channels that can assigned as needed to the available
physical I/O’s. Controlling the digital mixer requires an understanding of the LynxTWO/L22 Mixer
application. Please refer to the User’s Guide included with the product you own for further details.
The number of channels supported on one LStream port varies with sample rate as follows:
Sample Rate Speed Number of LStream
Channels per Port
44.1/48 kHz Single 16*
88.2/96 kHz Double 8
176.4/192 kHz Quad 4
* The LS-AES uses the first eight channels of an LStream port in single speed mode
In dual-card installations, each card is assigned an individual LStream port, thereby doubling the
number of signal channels
