AES/EBU Inputs
(on Audio breakout cable)
Two BNC connectors (one for each of Channel 1 and 2) are provided on the standard
Audio breakout cable (part number 774-755) for AES/EBU input.
An optional Audio breakout cable, part number 774-470, provides four connectors for
AES/EBU input: two XLR (one for each of Channel 1 and 2), and two BNC (one for
each of Channel 1 and 2). The XLR connectors are used for AES/EBU balanced
audio input, while the BNC connectors are used for unbalanced AES/EBU input. Note
that only two of the above input connections can be used at a time (one for Channel
1, and one for Channel 2), and they must be of the same type (XLR or BNC). The
AES Source menu option selects between the XLR and BNC connections.
AES/EBU Outputs
(on Audio breakout cable)
Two BNC connectors (one for each of Channel 1 and 2) are provided on the standard
Audio breakout cable (part number 774-755) for AES/EBU output.
An optional Audio breakout cable, part number 774-470, provides four connectors for
AES/EBU output: two XLR (one for each of Channel 1 and 2), and two BNC (one
for each of Channel 1 and 2). The XLR connectors are used for AES/EBU balanced
audio output, while the BNC connectors are used for unbalanced AES/EBU output.
Both BNC and XLR output is available concurrently.
Audio Delay Pulse/GPI Output (on Multi-I/O breakout cable)
The general-purpose GPI output, a BNC connection on the Multi-I/O breakout cable,
can be configured for use as an audio delay pulse output, to be sent to an external
audio delay box or synchronizer.
Serial Digital Embedded Audio Input (SDI)
The unit accepts four channels of embedded audio on the SDI input port. The four
channels can be selected from any group on the SDI input.
Serial Digital Embedded Audio Output (SDI)
Any of the selected audio inputs can be embedded into the output of the SDI stream.
The operator can select which group of four audio channels (of the 16 available in the
SDI format) the output will be embedded into.
Remote Control Ports
In addition to GPI input (for remote triggering of functions such as Freeze) and output
(for triggering external devices), all functions of the DPS-475 and DPS-575 can be
remotely controlled by devices capable of either RS-232 or RS-422. Two additional
remote control methods are supported: DPS Coaxial Network (DCN), for use with
controllers such as the DPS RC-4000 and RC-475 Remote Control Systems, and
10BaseT Ethernet networking for control through a TCP/IP-based network. The type
of control, and any appropriate parameters, are selected in the System Config menu,
under the Remote Control sub-menu (see Chapter 12, “Menus: System Config”).
