iDR D-in/out
User Guide AP6636

iDR D-in
and
iDR D-out
are add-on digital audio expander units for the Allen & Heath
iDR-4
and
iDR-8
audio mix
processors. They provide AES3 and SPDIF format digital audio inputs and outputs to add to the analogue audio
connections on the main unit. The
iDR D-in
has 8 inputs arranged as 4 pairs. Either the AES3 (XLR) or the SPDIF
(RCA phono) input may be selected for each pair. The
iDR D-out
has 8 outputs arranged as 4 pairs. These provide
AES3 and SPDIF outputs simultaneously available. Only one input and one output expander may be added to the iDR
system bringing it up to a maximum 16x16 audio matrix. This may be any combination of the analogue and digital
expanders available for the iDR system. These units do not have any processing built in. They simply convert the
AES3 and SPDIF formats to work with the 8 channel wide iDR digital bus which feeds the main unit via a CAT5 STP
cable. The processing and mixing is handled by the main
iDR-4
or
iDR-8
unit which features the full 16x16 DSP matrix.
The iDR System Manager software is used to select either the AES3 or the SPDIF connection for each expander input
pair. Both expander units have 8 front panel LEDs in addition to the 3 status indicators. These are 3-colour soft LEDs
which can be assigned as audio meters, mute indicators or patch related indicators. They are programmed in the
usual way using the iDR System Manager software. Control of the expanders is via the DR-Link port using a CAT5 STP
cable. This means that two CAT5 cables are required to interconnect an expander to the main unit. Maximum distance
between the units is 250 metres. Local mains power is required.
This product complies with the European Electromagnetic
Compatibility directives 89/336/EEC & 92/31/EEC and the
European Low Voltage Directives 73/23/EEC & 93/68/EEC.
NOTE:
Do not remove the cover of the unit. There are no user serviceable
parts inside. Any changes or modifications to the equipment not approved by
Allen & Heath could void the compliance of the equipment and therefore the
users authority to operate it.
