Connecting 32 Channels AES/EBU Digital Audio (XLR 216 or BNC 216)
Figure 2-16 shows AES/EBU digital audio interface connections for a 32 audio
channel Profile Video File Server. The 32 channel Profile system has two Audio I/O
boards: ASPB1 and ASPB2. ASPB1 is in the lower numbered slot, and ASPB2 is in
the higher numbered slot. Refer to the rear panel labels or Tables 1-2 through 1-6 in
Chapter 1, pages 1-9 through 1-13, to determine the slot location of these boards in
your system.
The 32 channel AES/EBU digital audio configuration uses two XLR216 Audio
Panels or two BNC216 Audio Panels for up to 32 channels (sixteen pairs) of AES/
EBU digital audio. AES/EBU digital audio sources are then connected to the XLR or
BNC connectors on the panel.
Note the following on each XLR216 Audio Panel:
• The XLR 216 connected to ASPB1 supports channels 1-16.
• The XLR 216 connected to ASPB2 supports channels 17-32.
• Each pair of digital audio channels has an In (top row on the panel) and an Out
(bottom row).
• Connectors labelled “spares” are not available (not connected).
• The AES REF connector on each XLR216 provides both a clock frequency and a
framing alignment reference, generally from a master sync generator, to the
incoming digital audio.
• The AES/EBU MONITOR connector on each XLR216 allows monitoring of one
of the eight pairs of digital audio channels selected through software (see the
Profile Family User Manual). This is a digital audio output.
Note the following on each BNC 216 Audio Panel:
• The BNC216 connected to ASPB1 supports channels 1-16.
• The BNC216 connected to ASPB2 supports channels 17-32.
• Each pair of digital audio channels has an In and an Out, side by side across the
panel.
• The AES REF connector provides both a clock frequency and a framing alignment
reference, generally from a master sync generator, to the incoming digital audio.
• The MON OUT connector allows monitoring of one of the eight pairs of digital
audio channels selected through software (see the Profile Family User Manual).
This is a digital audio output.
