AoIP
: This Ethernet port can accept either a Dante or a Ravenna Audio over
IP signal. An optional license key must be purchased to enable this function.
There are different hardware option cards for each signal and the appropriate
and desired capability must be specified at order.
4.
MADI BNC
: This COAX input accepts an AES10 64-channel signal at 48
kHz sample rate. An optional license key must be purchased to enable this
function. The COAX output is reclocked from the MADI source. When
power to the iAM-AUDIO is not present, the COAX input and output are
automatically connected together to allow the MADI signal to pass
through.
5.
MADI Fiber SFP
: (optional) This input module accepts an optical AES10
64-channel MADI input signal at 48 kHz sample rate. An optional license
key must be purchased to enable this function. The SFP fiber module may be
used in conjunction with the MADI BNC connectors to provide COAX to
fiber or fiber to COAX conversion. The outputs are reclocked. A software
license must be installed for SFP ports to function. Refer to the
System
Setup
section in Chapter 4 and to Figure 4-14 to install software licenses.
6.
Dolby Metadata
: (optional) This RJ-45 jack transmits metadata from
the selected Dolby bitstream in RS-485 serial data protocol. Refer to the
System Setup
section in Chapter 4 and to Figure 4-14 to install software
licenses.
7.
AES Out
:
By default, the AES OUT 1 BNC outputs the
same mixed
audio
as the XLR analog outputs, as heard from speakers or headphones, but as
an AES3id pair. This output is adjusted by the
Volume
control. Other
options may be set in the Web GUI.
AES Out 1
is a standard feature on
the iAM-AUDIO products. The AES OUT 2, 3, and 4 connections are
reserved for possible future implementation.
8.
AES In
: These four BNC jacks accept AES3id digital audio pairs at a 48
kHz sample rate. An optional license key must be purchased to enable this
function. Channels are selected as AES 1-8.
9.
SFP Module Cages
:
The two SFP cages
are
provided to accept one or two
optional
SFP modules compatible with SDI coaxial or optical signals.
Single or dual transceiver arrangements are possible. The SFP modules
are hot swappable for convenience. An optional license key must be
purchased to enable each module. A software license must be installed for
an SFP port to function. Refer to the
System Setup
section in Chapter 4
and to Figure 4-14 to install software licenses. The following SFP modules
are offered:
a.
3G/HD/SD-SDI Single Video Receiver with Active Loopback
:
This uses HD-BNC connectors.
b.
3G/HD/SD-SDI Video SFP with Optical Input
: This uses LC
fiber connectors. It is a Single-Mode Receiver, Medium Haul, Non-
MSA, and no output.
