Channel Slave
Overview
The Slave AD/DA board provides:
•
8 balanced analogue Inputs (the Channel Direct Outputs)
•
16 balanced analogue Outputs (the Channels
DLN
&
DMON
inputs)
•
8 AES Outputs grouped in stereo pairs (on 25-way D-sub) carrying
Channel Direct Outputs signals.
•
16 AES Inputs grouped in stereo pairs (on 25-way D-sub) carrying
DLN
and
DMON
inputs.
•
These inputs have sample rate converters that convert any input sample
rate frequency to the sample rate selected on the Genesys. Provision to
bypass these SRCs is provided on a pair-of-channels basis (
DLINE
1+2,
DLINE
3+4 etc).
The Slave card is connected to its associated Master card by three RJ45
connectors, called the Channel Slave Audio Link.
Connectors & Switches
The AD/DA Slave cards only have two 25-way D-type connectors and
three serial ports, and therefore do not have:
•
Wordclock In / Out BNC connectors
•
FireWire ports
•
Switch blocks
The AD/DA Slave cards 25-way D-type connectors carry the same audio
signals as the Master FireWire cards, with the exception of the AES Sync
In / Out signals not being present as either an input or an output (this is
because a Slave card takes its sync from its associated Master card).
