The Utah-400
DAC Output Module
The target circuit module, USI 121041-1, is an alternate output module for the Utah-400 digital
audio router that delivers analog output signals. Like the 121040-1 deluxe output module, it
has the capability to modify the characteristics of the eight AES-formatted digital audio input
signals that it converts.

Target Output Module
These capabilities include the following:
•
Execution of a V-fade that ensures clickless synchronous switching of output.
•
Execution of analog channel data manipulations within each AES signal pair:
•
Automatic adjustment to input word lengths of 16 to 24 bits.
•
Addition of dither to output signals at user discretion.
These capabilities are accessed by control and status monitoring via embedded JTAG control
structures included in the Utah-400 router platform.
