Product Overview
The
dCS 900
and
902
ADCs (Analogue to Digital Converters) are high
performance converters designed for studio and live recording applications.
They are designed to produce very high standard digital output that may be used
directly or archived. AES3, SPDIF and SDIF-2 PCM formats are all supported.
Multiple units may be slaved together for stable multi-channel operation.
The unit is mains powered and is housed in a 1U (1.75”) high 19” rack mounting
case. It may be controlled either from its front panel, or from a software based
remote control running on a PC. The last setting is automatically stored on
power down, so that fixed installations may be set up at leisure, installed and
then left alone. Unauthorised alterations to settings may be prevented by a
“panel lockout” feature.
The unit is highly software based, and more functions and features are added
from time to time. Software updates from
dCS
are free!

Mains Voltages
The
dCS 900 / 902
is shipped with its mains voltage preset for operation in the
destination country. The voltage is not intended to be changed by the user. If it
needs to be changed, contact your dealer or
dCS
.
Installing Unit in a Rack
The unit is supplied with 19" rack mount ears fitted. If it is to be installed in a 19"
rack, the ears supplied may be used to locate it in the rack - but:
IMPORTANT!
The ears should not be used as the only mechanical support. The unit should
rest on a shelf, or be supported in some other way. The ears will just locate
it in the rack, and stop it sliding forwards.
If the unit is not to be rack mounted, the ears may be removed.
