1.2.2. FORUM - GRAND FORUM console. FR14 board.
FR14 AoIP board is installed as any other input/output board at the rear panel of the FORUM
console. It allows you to connect up to 32 input and 32 output channels to the unit’s TDM bus.
The FR14 board features two Ethernet ports (LAN 1 and LAN 2), both including activity LEDs.
The same console can be equipped with up to two FR14 AoIP boards. It is not compatible with
the MADI option, so in case one AoIP board is configured in the console, the MADI option will
not be available.
1.2.3. CAPITOL IP Console.
CAPITOL IP is an 8 channel digital mixing console. Its performance is based on the CAPITOL
console and the experience gained with this model. The control surface has been redesigned
with new silent buttons, more programmable keys and a new arrangement of the monitoring
section controls.
IP connectivity in CAPITOL IP console is implemented through a single module with 16 input
and 16 output channels incorporated in its core, and excludes MADI connectivity. So the rear
panel is similar to the former model with two precut holes for both Ethernet connectors.
Depending on the configuration, the unit may come either with the Ethernet connectors or the
MADI optical connector - or without any of these options - but never with both at the same time.
CAPITOL IP consoles can have a single multichannel access: IP or MADI.
1.2.4. NETBOX 32 AD Audio interface.
NETBOX 32 AD is an interface for multi-channel AoIP. It allows you to insert and extract audio
channels in a system based on DANTE technology, at locations where the installation of AEQ
digital consoles is not planned. NETBOX 32 AD features 32 input and 32 output channels
organized in 16 mono analog and 8 stereo digital channels. The stereo digital audio channels
can be configured as AES/EBU or SPDIF standard. It also incorporates 16 GPIs and 16 GPOs
(each GPIO connector includes a power supply pin to feed the external circuitry). Due to its high
input and output capacity, it is especially suitable for central controls and link dispatches and
also to increase or distribute the capacity of TDM BUS matrices such as the AEQ BC2000D.
1.2.5. NETBOX 8 AD Audio interface.
NETBOX 8 AD is an interface for multi-channel AoIP. It allows you to insert and extract audio
channels in a system based on DANTE technology, at locations where the installation of AEQ
digital consoles is not planned. NETBOX 8 AD features 8 inputs and 8 outputs, organized in 4
mono analog and 2 digital stereo channels. Stereo digital ones can be configured as AES/EBU
or SPDIF standards. The second digital stereo channel can also be switched to a USB
connector to ease the connection to an audio workstation. It also provides 4 GPIs and 4 GPOs.
The GPO port includes a power supply pin to feed the output circuitry. Due to its small footprint,
it can be useful to give IP access to analog or digital consoles that are not ready for this type of
connectivity from factory, for recording rooms, talk-rooms or any other auxiliary location.
1.2.6. NETBOX 4 MH Audio interface.
NETBOX 4 MH is an interface for multi-channel AoIP. It allows you to insert and extract audio
channels in a system based on DANTE technology, at Studio rooms and other locations where
mic/line inputs and line/headphone outputs are needed. NETBOX 4 MH features 4 inputs and 4
outputs. The input channels are mic/line type with XLR connector and frontal switch. The output
channels are balanced at line level and are sent to 4 headphone outputs, that can be configured
as stereo pairs. It also provides 4 GPIs and 4 GPOs. The GPO port includes a power supply pin
to feed the output circuitry. It also provides additional special GPIOs for connection of signalling
and control boxes, including 7 optocoupled GPIs and 2 relay GPOs for ON AIR signalling, that
can be feed from the unit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: NETBOX 4 MH does not support redundant operation.
