Multi-channel ADAT Expansion Card
The LS-ADAT is a full-function ADAT interface that provides two ADAT
lightpipe inputs and outputs and an ADAT sync input for the LynxTWO
and Lynx L22 audio cards. Operating at a sample rate of 48 kHz, the
LS-ADAT I/O channel capacity is 16. Higher sample rates are supported
using S/MUX technology: 8 channels at 96 kHz and 4 channels at 192kHz.
LS-AES LStream Expansion Card
The LS-AES is an 8-channel AES/EBU or S/PDIF LStream interface
module that is designed for use with the LynxTWO and Lynx L22. The
LS-AES provides four inputs and outputs that support professional
AES/EBU and consumer S/PDIF digital I/O formats. Connections are
transformer coupled with pro-quality sample rate conversion (SRC)
available on all inputs. The LS-AES is also compatible with Dolby
Digital and DTS encoded formats.
◆ The ADAT sync input provides two methods of sample-accurate
synchronization.
◆ In systems using ASIO compatible audio applications, the
LS-ADAT utilizes Steinberg’s ASIO Positioning Protocol for
synchronization to ADAT time code.
– Using the LS-ADAT’s cue point capability initiates recording or
playback with sample period resolution.
◆ Sample clock source can be derived
from a word clock or composite video
received by the LynxTWO. In addition, either lightpipe input or the Sync In
port can also be selected as the clock source.
◆ The LS-ADAT can also transmits time code via MTC for general compatibility
with many applications.
◆ Installs in an empty bracket internally in your computer, no PCI slot required.
Now you can easily increase the I/O capacity of the LynxTWO
and L22 digital audio cards. The LS-AES and LS-ADAT provide
high-performance multi-channel AES/EBU and ADAT
connectivity for any Windows or Macintosh based audio or
video workstation at sample rates up to 192kHz.
Channels from the expansion cards are connected directly to
the LynxTWO/L22 digital mixer. This allows almost unlimited
routing capabilities with expansion card I/O’s, as well as the
analog and digital I/O’s of the host LynxTWO or L22.
Using the LynxTWO/L22 Mixer application, “stand-alone” functions can
be configured that place no demand on the host computer. In a
LynxTWO system these functions include but are not limited to:
• Four-channel, 192 kHz analog-to-AES or analog-to-ADAT converter
• Four-channel, 192 kHz AES-to-analog or ADAT-to-analog converter
• Eight-channel AES digital patch-bay
• 16-channel ADAT digital patch bay
• AES to ADAT or ADAT to AES format converter
• Composite video or word clock to AES or ADAT synchronizer
◆ Running at a sample rates up to 96 kHz, the
LS-AES provides eight I/O channels in single-
wire mode and four channels in dualwire
mode. At 192 kHz, four channels of I/O are
available in dual-wire mode and two chan-
nels in quad-wire mode.
◆ For additional channel capacity, two LSAES
cards can be used simultaneously with one
LynxTWO or L22.
◆ The LS-AES can handle both asynchronous
and synchronous studio configurations. SRC
can be enabled independently on each digi-
tal input to accommodate asynchronous sig-
nals from multiple digital devices
Alternatively, all inputs can be run synchro-
nously and any input can be selected as the
system clock source. The card can also be
synchronized to a word clock or composite
video received by the host LynxTWO.
◆ For S/PDIF coaxial connections, the optional
Lynx XLR to RCA S/PDIF adapters CBL-
XFDRM18 and CBL-XMDRM18 are required.
The LS-AES installs in an empty bracket inter-
nally in your computer, no PCI slot required.
