4  The DIO48 Card

 

Introduction 

The EVS DIO48 is a multi function product. Its basic function is 
the conversion of asynchronous AES/EBU digital audio into 
synchronous AES/EBU utilizing the on-board sample rate 
converter. The DIO48 has a tracking audio delay, with a delay 
offset possibility of up to 5200ms, and it can perform the Synapse 
ADD-ON function. 
In ADD-ON mode the card acts as a digital audio input board that 
feeds a master card positioned one slot left of the ADD-ON card. 
For example the DIO48 acts as a digital audio embedder when 
used with the EVS ASV10 or SFS11. 
The manipulated audio data that enters the Synapse bus to a master 
card is identical to the data present on the local AES/EBU outputs. 
The AES/EBU in and outputs are available on 75 Ohm BNC or 
110 Ohm screw terminals. This choice is made with the choice of 
back panel. The BPL02 has 75 Ohm AES/EBU in and outputs. The 
BPL03 has 75 Ohm AES/EBU inputs and 110 Ohm AES/EBU 
outputs and the BPL04 has 110 Ohm AES/EBU in and outputs.  
Or 110 Ohm on a D-sub type connector BPL05D 
The user has control over channel selection/swapping, gain and 
phase control of all 8 audio channels. 

Key Features 

The Key features of the DIO48 are as follows:  

 

Selection of 8 channels out of all local and ADD-ON inputs 

 

Full mixing capabilities of 2 x 4 channels (A and B) 

 

AES/EBU inputs with optional SRC (32 to 192kHz 
sampling) 

 

Sample clock can be derived from MASTER card (ADD-
ON mode) 

 

48kHz sample clock locked to: B&B ref or wordclock ref 

 

48kHz sample clock in free running mode 

 

Available with 110

 (phoenix or sub-D) of 75

 (BNC) 

AES/EBU in- and outputs 

 

Adjustable audio gain (in 0.25dB) and phase (0-180 deg) 

 

Can be used as a Synapse ADD-ON input or output card 

 

Adjustable audio delay offset up to 5200ms in 1ms 
increment 

 

Tracking audio delay on dedicated BNC input 

 

MASTER fade function for dedicated Synapse applications
