DESCRIPTION
DETAILS
POWER INPUT
IEC 3 prong jack
Accepts power from detachable IEC power cable (100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 25 Watts max).
Connect only to a grounded power outlet.
S/PDIF OUT
2 x Female RCA
Transmits either AES-3 (audio) or AES-11 (sync) data formatted for unbalanced S/PDIF
operating levels. Functionally identical to AES OUT.
AES OUT
4 x Male XLRs
Transmits either AES-3 (audio) or AES-11 (sync). When the SYNC SOURCE is set to AES
and the OUTPUT switch matches the rate of the incoming AES source, then the AES output
format follows the input format and the GENx192 acts as a 1x2 or 1x4 AES distributor.
WORD CLOCK OUT
8 x Female BNCs
Transmits phase-aligned CMOS-level word clock signals.
AES IN
Female XLR
Accepts single-wire AES-3 or AES-11 signals at sample rates between 28 and 216 kHz.
WORD CLOCK IN
Female BNC
Accepts TTL or CMOS-level word clock signals from 28 to 216 kHz.
TERM (Switch)
Push Button Toggle Switch
Enables or defeats Word Clock input termination. (Green “TERM” LED beneath the switch
indicates proper Word Clock input termination.)
TERM
9 x Bi-color LEDs
Displays the condition of the word clock input or output signal using voltage level sensing
to determine whether or not the signal is present, is operating at the correct levels, and is
terminated properly. An amber LED indicates an overvoltage or underterminated condition;
for outputs, it can also indicate that no connection to a receiving device has been made.
A red LED indicates an undervoltage or overterminated condition; for the input, it can also
indicate that no connection to a source device has been made.
A green LED indicates optimal signal conditions with proper voltage and termination.
However, because less is known about the word clock input signal than the output (due to
variances in standards and methods employed for generating word clock amongst the vari-
ous equipment manufacturers) the tolerance range for the input is much less restrictive for
the input than the output to accommodate all possible valid conditions.
