6.3.1 AES/EBU M2 Cards ( and ) A949.0454, A949.0455, A949.0456
AES/EBU input/output card with 16 Ch I/O, available in 3 different versions:
A949.0454xx without SRCs (Sampling Rate Converters; Vista only)
A949.0455xx with input SRCs only
A949.0456xx with input and output SRCs (see adjacent picture).
Selectable output sampling rates: 96 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or external refer-
ence (22-108 kHz). Input and output SRCs can individually be bypassed per
channel pair. Output dither and word length is selectable for every AES/EBU
output to 24, 20, 18 or 16 bit (when the output SRC is enabled). Settings are
made with DIP switches. Inputs and outputs are on standard 25-pin D-type
connectors (female).
SRC Delay Enabled input and output SRCs each cause a delay (D) that depends on the
SRC’s input and output sampling rate (f
S_IN
and f
S_OUT
). Input and output delays
can be calculated using the following formulas.

Examples: For a 96 kHz input signal and a 48 kHz system clock (i.e., the ‘output signal’
of the input SRC), input delay is 40 output samples or 0.833 ms (formula [1]).
For a 48 kHz system clock (i.e., the ‘input signal’ of the output SRC) and a
96 kHz output signal, output delay is 96 output samples or 1 ms (formula [2]).
