The C2-7310 processor provides accommodation for AES3-id audio, 8 in and 8 out, from each of the two HD-44 connectors located on its rear panel. Using its integral audio processor, it can delay, mix and sample rate convert these audio channels, as well as possessing the ability to embed and de-embed to and from HD/SD-SDI Video signals. In order fully utilize the audio on the HD-44 connections TV One has produced the A2-7312, an AES3-id Audio Breakout unit, the A2-7302, a bi-directional AES to AES3-id Audio Format Converter and the A2-7342, a bi-directional stereo analog to digital AES3-id audio converter.
The A2-7312 connects to the C2-7310 using a 1.5 metre HD-44 interconnect cable and provides access for 8 inputs and 8 outputs of AES3-id Audio and also a DARS reference input all via BNC connectors. These BNC connectors are all mounted on a 1RU panel for easy installation into a standard 19 inch rack, however they can be removed from this panel if the user's system wiring requires it.
The A2-7302 unit also connects to the C2-7310 using the HD-44 interface and provides access for 8 inputs and 8 outputs of AES audio as well as a DARS reference input. Up to 8 AES audio channels can be fed into the A2-7302 via XLR inputs and are converted to AES3-id audio before being output to the C2-7310. Similarly, up to 8 channels of AES3-id audio being fed into the unit from the C2-7310 are converted to AES audio and can be output using a further 8 XLR connectors located on the rear panel.
Using its internal technology, The A2-7342 provides high quality conversion of four analog stereo channels via XLR inputs, to AES3id audio which can be fed into the C2-7310 via the familiar HD-44 interface. It can also accept a further four digital AES3-id audio inputs from the HD-44 connector and can convert these to analog stereo audio for output on XLR connectors. It also includes a DARS reference input on a BNC Connector and the audio sample rate is manually adjustable.
Both the A2-7302 and A2-7342 are housed in a 1RU, 19 inch metal casing for installation into a standard 19 inch rack cabinet using the included rack-ear kit, and a long-armed rack kit for extra stability is also available separately.
The A2-7312 Audio Breakout Unit , A2-7302 Audio Format Converter and A2-7342 Analog and Digital Audio Converter are now available.
