4 analog line inputs (24 bit A/D)
4 digital channels on 2 AES-EBU inputs (24 bit)
4 analog line outputs (24 bit D/A)
4 digital channels on 2 AES-EBU outputs (24 bit)
2 monitoring analog line outputs, with headphone output and volume control, for stereo monitoring of any of the input or output channel pairs (24 bit D/A).

Typical Applications

Ideal I/O solution for mixed Analog/Digital requirements, as encountered in Broadcast production and Video/Film post-production environments.
Full 5.1 Surround monitoring system support.
Up to two units can be used in parallel for a 16 I/O solution, with Merging’s high performance audio boards such as Mykerinos.
Tested in such applications as SOFTIMAGE®|DS, Incite Studio, WaveFrame FrameWorks, etc...

Features

The signals from the 8 inputs are also fed to the optical lightpipes in ADAT-compatible format. This allows a direct connection to ADAT compatible multitrack devices and other equipment such as digital consoles. These optical lightpipe connectors support up to 8 channels of 24 bit digital audio on one single optical fiber with no risk at all of line hum or any other electromagnetic interference.
All audio connections are made using high-quality balanced XLR type connectors.
High quality 24 bit A/D and D/A using the latest generation in converter technology.
High common mode rejection balanced input circuitry on all analog input for optimum rejection of power line hum, RF interference, voltage drops and other externally-generated noise commonly encountered with long audio cable runs.
All analog balanced output circuitry incorporates the advanced "Twin Servo Drive" output stage for maximum output signal balance ratio performance, even under adverse asymmetrical loads.
Input and ouput level selection through DIP switches offers an over 18 dB range to accomodate all standard studio levels.
Very low jitter clock with high incoming reference jitter rejection.
Clear and easy to use front panel controls.
Very comprehensive choice of Synchronization Sources including ODI, AES/EBU and Wordclock.
Selectable stereo monitoring of all 8 inputs and outputs.
Local control from the front panel (in stand-alone mode).
Remote control from Pyramix Virtual Studio Software.
Rugged internal power supply. This unit accepts both 110 and 220 voltages for worldwide use.
Fully tested for CE compliance for guaranteed safety and stability.
