AES inputs and outputs
23
The
DSP-4080
units have a full AES implementation built in as standard. This allows the unit to both
receive digital audio directly, and to transmit digital audio on to other devices. The switching of input and
output can be performed independently, and the inclusion of sample rate converters on the inputs allows the
unit to accept sample rates from 32kHz up to 192kHz.
The AES outputs are marked on the rear panel:
Channels 1 & 2 use ‘Output 1’
Channels 3 & 4 use ‘Output 3’
Channels 5 & 6 use ‘Output 5’
Channels 7 & 8 use ‘Output 7’
AES input
Input selection is via a recessed switch on the rear
panel of the unit, between input D and output 1. A red
LED inside this aperture illuminates to show that the
AES digital inputs have been selected.
A complimentary LED on the front panel also
illuminates. The switch controls the rear panel LED
directly, whilst the front panel one is via the processor,
allowing it to relay a little more information.
If it is flashing, this means that AES inputs have
been selected but have not locked. Once a stable
AES signal is being received, it will be permanently
illuminated.
The AES inputs are marked on the rear panel:
For channels A & B use ‘Input A’
and for channels C & D use ‘Input C’
AES output
AES outputs are selected through the AES menu:
AES/EBU Sub Menu
Output Selection
Pressing ENTER and then using BACK and NEXT
chooses either ‘Analogue’ or ‘Digital’. Press ENTER
again to confirm selection.
