EXBOX.AES Manual - Version 2.0
Chapter 1: Overview
Applications
EXBOX.AES can be used for conversion of MADI
signals (AES10) to AES signals and vice versa. Serial
data can be received at the local RS 232 port or
embedded into the MADI output signal from there.
Typical applications include:
• AES frontend for a MADI setup
• Integration of AES based equipment with
remote control over RS 232
How it works
16 audio channels of the MADI input signal are
routed to the eight AES output ports. The specific
bank of the 16 audio channels can be selected by the
routing.
The input signal of the eight AES ports is output at
both MADI outputs.
The MADI input that locks first will be used as signal
and sync source for conversion.
Clocking via AES input is possible by switching the
clock source setting.
The scaling factor of the sample rates may be set to
match the signal accordingly.
