General description.
The DX32R Digital I/O is a 19” wide, 1RU high digital patch bay and interface unit for Digital Audio signals
compliant to the formats: AES3, MADI (AES10) and IP audio based on Dante™. DX32R has a total of 8
AES3 I/O (16 mono) channels, two MADI BNC connectors for 64 channels of I/O, and optionally two SFP
modules for either optical or coax MADI connections providing a total of 192 I/O channels on MADI. The
Dante IP audio technology is available on the two Ethernet connectors and provides 64 mono channels of
I/O which can be redundant on two connectors.
The digital patch bay of DX32R is based on a digital router matrix with 400 input channels, which individually
can be patched to any one or more output channels. The matrix can operate on all standard sample rates
up-to 192 kHz and the matrix will interface data with the sample-rate to which the DX32R is synchronized.
The unit is based on synchronous routing so all digital signals must have the same basic sample-rate. No
sample rate functionality is available.
As standard the basic chassis is equipped with redundant power supplies.
