Putting Sound in the Picture

JB5868 – 4

DIGITAL AES OUTPUT (XLR)

The JB5868 provides 4 balanced
digital AES3 outputs from the Hydra2
network in a 1 slot-wide module. The
audio interface is via XLR connectors.

Front panel LEDs indicate audio presence
for each output, lighting green when
outputting signal over -60 dBFS.

The standard modular I/O status LED
flashes green once the card has booted
and lights solid green once a connection
between the card and the Hydra2
interface has been established.
