6.3 Digital I/O Cards
6.3.1 AES/EBU I/O Cards
( and ) A949.0422, A949.0423, A949.0424
AES/EBU input/output card with 16 Ch I/O. With input and output
SFCs (A949.0424), with input SFCs only (A949.0423), or without SFCs
(A949.0422 –
not available for OnAir 3000
). Selectable output sampling
frequencies: 96 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or external reference (22...108 kHz).
Input SFCs can be bypassed individually. Output SFCs can be bypassed in
groups of four. Output dither is selectable for every AES/EBU output from
24 bit, 20 bit, 18 bit or 16 bit. Settings are made with jumpers. Inputs and
outputs on standard 25-pin D-type connectors (female).
SFC Delay:
Enabled input and output SFCs each cause a delay (D) that depends on the
SFC’s input and output sampling frequency (f
S_IN
and f
S_OUT
). Input and output
delays can be calculated using the formulas below.

Examples:
• For a 96 kHz input signal and a 48 kHz system clock (i.e., the “output signal”
of the input SFC), the input delay is 40 output samples or 0.833 ms (formula
“1”).
• For a 48 kHz system clock (i.e., the “input signal” of the output SFC) and a
96 kHz output signal, the output delay is 96 output samples or 1 ms (formula
“2”).
Note:
If the core is operating with a 44.1 or 88.2 kHz system clock, the output sam-
pling frequency will be 44.1 or 88.2 kHz, regardless of the jumper selection
– unless the external sync input is used and
Ext. is selected; then, the output
sampling frequency corresponds to the one of the external sync signal.
