VX222e-S user manual
CONTENTS OF THIS PACKAGE
Thank you for purchasing a Digigram VX sound card.
The package consists of the following components:
●
a VX222e-S
●
the User’s Manual at hand.
The end user version additionally includes:
●
two breakout cables (analog and digital)
●
a registration form
For the OEM version, the cables are available optionally.
FEATURES
VX222e-S is a sound card for PCI EXPRESS
TM
(PCIe
®
) bus. It complies to PCI EXPRESS
TM
x1,and can thus be plugged into any
PCIe
®
slot (x1, x2, x4, x8, x16).
Hardware features
●
2 balanced
∗
analog mono line inputs, with software adjustable gain and a maximum input level of +24 dBu

●
2 servo-balanced
∗∗
analog mono line outputs, with software adjustable gain and a maximum output level of +24 dBu

●
1 AES/EBU
∗∗∗
stereo input with hardware sample rate converter
(
from 1:8 to 7,5:1)
3
The selection of the digital input for recording excludes the selection of the analog inputs.
It is possible to use the signal on the digital input as reference clock.
●
1 AES/EBU
∗∗∗
stereo output
Always transmits the digital version of the analog outputs 1 and 2.
●
1 AES/EBU Sync input up to 192 kHz
●
1 Word Clock input up to 192 kHz
●
1 LTC (Linear Time Code) input
●
1 mini jack headphone stereo output
This output is in parallel of the analog outputs 1 and 2.
●
2 General Purpose inputs and 2 outputs (GPIOs)
●
Inter-card synchronization connector
The two AES/EBU inputs allow for the following:
recording of a digital signal on the AES/EBU data input; this input is also used as source of synchronization with a digital clock
- recording of a digital signal on the AES/EBU data input, synchronized on a digital clock connected to the AES/EBU
synchronization input;
- the synchronization of analog recording and playback on an AES/EBU clock connected to the AES/EBU Sync input.
The selection of the digital input excludes the selection of the analog inputs.
Additional hardware features
●
The AES/EBU input is AES42 compatible (for connecting digital microphone) and features a hardware sample rate converter
