System
AES IO Config
The Qx provides powerful and highly flexible functionality in the treatment of AES input and output signals
when present on pins 1-4 of the rear panel 26-way D-type connector.
(See ‘Specifications’ section of this manual for more details. A D-type to BNC converter can be employed to
provide user access to the AES I/O's.)
The ‘AES IO Config’ window provides an interface where a user can configure the AES I/Os as required:
l Up to 4 AES signals (a combination of inputs and/or outputs) can be handled at the same time
l SDI Input to AES Output audio conversion is available for both PCM and Dolby encoded audio (using
‘Transmit - Analyzer’)
l AES Input signals can be routed to other AES outputs providing a single loop output or up to 3 copy
outputs (using ‘Transmit - Passthrough’)
The window provides a graphical display of the 26-way D-type rear panel connector of the Qx, and labels the
AES pins (pins 1-4). The 'AES Panel' graphic shows the AES I/O BNCs in any AES breakout board connected
to the Qx rear panel D-type connector.
In both graphics, when an AES I/O is active it will glow in the Analyzer color when it is an AES Input (in
'Receive' mode) or the Generator color when it is an AES Output (in 'Transmit' mode).
In the lower half of the window, a table shows the status of each AES I/O. For AES Outputs the table also
shows the transmit mode source. Audio transmit source issues are highlighted in the table text:
l Red (configuration error), Yellow (audio source not present)
Hovering over the text reveals a tooltip outlining how to fix the issue.
Configuration of the AES I/O's is carried out in the instrument submenu.
Each AES I/O can be set as an input (receive), or output (transmit):
l Off: AES I/O is switched off
l Receive: I/O is set to AES Input
l Transmit - Generator: I/O is set to AES Output
