Integration of third party hardware
The PRO1 network includes the capability to interface any third party hardware that
uses AES/EBU or AES50 digital audio, or a standard analogue audio interface.
Each PRO1 AES/EBU input and output has a sample rate converter. Synchronisation to
external AES3 interfaces can be:
• Global - via inputs on the routers.
•Local to each input.
• Local to each output (synchronisation to adjacent local output).
Multiple local connections can be at different sample rates.
The use of the AES50 protocol for the transmission of digital audio means that any third
party digital audio hardware that features this connection can be connected to the
Midas network, and will transfer audio to and from the Midas hardware without any
additional interfaces or converters (provided it runs in TDM 96kHz mode). This will be
particularly useful as the protocol gains acceptance with recording and playback
devices, loudspeaker controllers, audio networking systems, digital amplifiers etc.
The PRO1 Control Centre has a DVI connector (called “screen output”) on the rear
panel, so that the control centre view can be routed to an external monitor.
