AES16e-50 User Manual Addendum

If one follows this scheme, then the Record/Play Mixer would look like this:
AES50, as a standard, scales the number of active devices that each connection is capable of based on sample rate.
Each connection supports up to 48 channels of I/O at 1X sample rates (44.1kHz/48kHz), up to 24 channels at 2X
sample rates (88.2kHz/96kHz), and 12 channels at 4X sample rates (176.4kHz/192kHz). Keep in mind, however,
that the AES16e-50 supports a maximum of 32-channels of I/O at one time, even at 1X sample rates.
This means that, when operating at 2X or 4X sample rates, 24 or 12 channels respectively will be available for use,
even though one can technically still select up to 32 AES50 input devices. At 88.2kHz/96kHz, AES50 channels 25-
32 will have no signal, and at 176.4kHz/192kHz AES50 channels 13-32 will have no signal.
As stated earlier, it is possible to mix AES-EBU, LStream and AES50 devices at any one time. This is achieved by
selecting the appropriate input types from the Record/Play page. In the example below, Record Devices 1-16 use
AES50 channels 1-16, and Record Device 17-32 use AES/EBU channels 1-16. Again, when changing a number of
sources in sequential order, hold the CTRL key while selecting an input source and all subsequent sources will
change in order. For Instance, in this example, hold down CTRL while changing input source 1 to AES50 In 1, and
then hold CTRL while selecting Input 17 to Digital In 1.
