Optocore DD32E 64-Channel Optocore To AES3 I/O Converter

Optocore DD32E 64-Channel Optocore To AES3 I/O ConverterThe DD32E is designed to function as a digital interface, wherever AES/EBU ports are required in an OPTOCORE OPTICAL DIGITAL NETWORK SYSTEM. The 32 principle ports feature the unique possibility of any combination of AES/EBU inputs and/or outputs. With the other Optocore devices, the DD32E offers a great flexibility to build the network exactly suiting an application’s need.Specification:32 AES/EBU channels = 64 digital audio channelsUnique possibility of any combination of AES/EBU inputs and outputs in a group of 4 AES (8 mono channels)Four RS485 interfaces for the exchange of control data (e.g. RS422, RS485, DMX, MIDI)Word clock input and outputComposite video in- and output2 optical 1 Gbps LINK interface with duplex SC-connectorsDual power supply with automatic switchover1 USB and 1 RS232 port for configuration and controlFull remote access with OPTOCORE CONTROL softwareUpgradeable internal logicComprehensive status control via LED banks on the front The DIGITAL I/O UNIT DD32(E) is a digital interface device of the OPTOCORE OPTICAL DIGITAL NETWORK SYSTEM. It offers four principal ports for connection and transport of a total of 32 AES/EBU digital audio channels i.e. 64 mono channels. Sample rates up to 192 kHz are possible. These channels are user defined as input or output in groups of four. Redundant fiber connections can be established using the two provided optical LINK-interfaces. The dual redundant ring structure provides maximum safety in a comprehensible network with an outstanding low latency. It facilitates the use of the advantages of fiber optical transmission in all sorts of temporary and permanent applications, especially when long distance connections and high-quality audio are required. The DD32E device includes a word clock output and bi-directional composite video interfaces. Four RS485 ports allow the transport of a wide range of standards such as RS422, DMX, MIDI, and CAN. In addition to the audio signals the video and data signals are transmitted by the fiber connection. The dual power supply unit, with automatic switchover, permits a redundant power supply and safeguards against malfunctions of the unit if one power supply fails to run. In combination with the other Optocore devices the DD32(E) offers a great flexibility to build the net work exactly suiting an applications need. For example, in combination with a LX4AP on Stage it is the perfect interface to a digital console at FOH. A DD32(E) on stage can be used as an interface to all microphone preamps with AES/EBU outputs. With Yamaha and Optocore microphone preamps the DD32(E) enables the gain control of the preamps on stage from a Yamaha digital console at FOH. The DD32(E) is not only an audio interface, but also a video and data interface for a broad range of control data standards. If analog inputs and outputs are needed the DD32(E) serves as I/O unit for the converter units of the X6-series. Networks with several DD32(E) and other Optocore devices allow the transport of a huge amount of digital data, e.g. 256 audio channels with a sample rate of 48 kHz, 32 RS485 channels and three video channels. Depending on the fiber optic transceivers distances from 700 m up to 70 km can be covered.*Various cables available – call.
