3. CONNECTIONS OVERVIEW
This chapter gives you an overview of all connections on the back of the device.
Please refer to 12. Specifications for full characteristics of each port.
3.1.
AC Power
Mains AC inlet, 90-240VAC, 0.75A max.
Together with the DC power port, the inputs are full redundant. If any of the inputs
fail, the other takes immediately over. During the switch-over process, full
operational state is maintained (i.e. no interruptions in the audio flow).
3.2.
DC Power
Battery / DC inlet, nominal 9-18V, tolerates up to 30V.
Maximum current 2.5A, typical operating current < 1A, standby current ca. 10mA.
Use this port
to operate independently from AC power,
e.g. from a camera battery pack in the field
as battery backup if the AC input(s) fail. To prevent the backup battery from
draining while AC power is present, keep the voltage below 16 volts.
3.3.
ADAT/SPDIF/AES3 optical
Eight optical input/output ports are available. Each input and output port can be
run in different modes:
ADAT with up to 8 channels per port
SPDIF with up to 2 channels per port
AES3 optical with up to 2 channels per port
For the inputs, the mode is detected automatically. For the outputs, the desired
mode can be set individually via the Web UI on the SETTINGS page (see 9.2
Configuration settings).
