Product Description
The Lynx LS-AES and LS-ADAT provide high-performance multi-channel AES/EBU and ADAT connectivity for any Windows or Macintosh based audio or video workstation at sample rates up to 192kHz. Both devices offer a straightforward interface to digital recording and broadcast consoles, multi-channel A/D and D/A converters, and digital tape and hard disk recorders.
The ADAT Sync In port feeds on-board time code control logic that provides two methods of sample-accurate synchronization. In systems using ASIO compatible audio applications, the LS-AES utilizes Steinberg's ASIO Positioning Protocol for synchronization to ADAT time code. Alternatively, synchronization using the LS-ADAT's cue point capability initiates recording or playback with sample period resolution. The LS-ADAT can also transmit time code via MTC for general compatibility with many applications.
The LS-ADAT offers a wide variety of sample clock synchronizations options. Its sample clock source can be derived from a word clock or composite video received by the LynxTWO. In addition, either lightpipe input or the Sync In port can also be selected as the clock source.
The LS-ADAT integrates seamlessly with the Lynx AES16e, Lynx AES16, LynxTWO or Lynx L22. Channels from the expansion cards are connected directly to the Lynx AES16/LynxTWO/Lynx L22 digital mixer. This allows almost unlimited routing capabilities with expansion card I/O's, as well as the analog and digital I/O's of the host LynxTWO or L22.
Using the Lynx AES16/LynxTWO/L22 Mixer application, "stand-alone" functions can be configured that place no demand on the host computer. In a LynxTWO system these functions include but are not limited to:
- four-channel, 192 kHz analog-to-ADAT converter
- four-channel, 192 kHz ADAT-to-analog converter
- eight-channel, 96 kHz analog-to-ADAT converter
- eight-channel, 96 kHz ADAT-to-analog converter
- 16-channel, 48 kHz analog-to-ADAT converter
- 16-channel, 48 kHz ADAT-to-analog converter
- 16-channel ADAT digital patch bay
- AES to ADAT or ADAT to AES format converter (with optional LS-AES interface)
- Composite video or word clock to AES or ADAT synchronizer
Includes: LS-ADAT LStream ribbon cable.
