5 Using the VA-256P Digital Audio Delay
You can use the
VA-256P
as an AES-ID3 to AES/EBU converter, as a digital
audio switcher, and as an audio delay line within the same application. In the
following examples, the
VA-256P
is used to:
Switch and convert AES-ID3 to AES/EBU or vice verse (see section 5.1)
Delay the audio signal in the studio environment (see section 5.2)
5.1 Using the VA-256P to Switch and Convert Signals
To connect the
VA-256P
as the example in Figure 2 illustrates
1
, do the
following
2
:
1. Connect the sources as follows:
Connect a digital audio source (for example, the audio output of a
digital video player) to the AES-ID3 75 INPUT BNC connector
Connect an AES/EBU source (for example, a DAT player) to the
AES/EBU detachable terminal block IN connector (using a twisted
pair cable)
2. Connect the acceptors as follows:
Connect the AES-ID3 75 OUTPUT BNC connector to a digital
audio acceptor (for example, a studio mixer)
Connect the AES/EBU detachable terminal block OUT connector
(using a twisted pair cable) to an AES/EBU acceptor (for example, a
DAT recorder)
3. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the
adapter to the mains electricity.
4. Press the INPUT SELECTOR 1 or 2 button to select the input source
3
.
The signal routes to both outputs simultaneously.
5. Set the DELAY, as section 5.3 describes.
6. Set the display brightness if required (see section 5.4).
1 You do not have to connect all inputs and outputs, connect only those that are required
2 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VA-256P. After connecting your VA-256P, switch on
the power on each device
3 If a valid digital audio signal is present on the selected input, the green LOCK LED will light
