System 5 Installation Guide12
Digital I/O
The DM714 AES-to-MADI Converter and MD704 MADI-to-AES Converter are stand-alone 2RU units. The DM714 contains 13 AES
inputs (26 channels) with SRC, and two analog inputs. The MD704 contains 13 AES and two analog outputs. Units are available
with 110-
 XLR or 75- BNC connections.
Avid Modular I/O
Avid Modular I/O System 5 configurations consist of one or more 3RU frames with redundant PSUs that can be fitted with a va-
riety of I/O modules. All signals to the console are converted to and from MADI. Depending on the configuration, a maximum
signal density of 64 inputs and 64 outputs can be achieved on a single MADI I/O.
The Modular I/O system supports the following audio formats: remote-controlled preamp, line level analog, AES/EBU, and
HD/SD embedder/de-embedder. Additional modules handle sync, MADI I/O, and remote-control interface.
Refer to the Modular I/O Configuration Guide for complete details.
The Modular I/O system includes the following modules:
Digital
• DD915 8ch AES I/O (110  DSub) 1 slot
• DD916 8ch AES I/O (75 BNC) 2 slots
Analog Line
• AD920 4ch Analog Input (XLR)
• DA921 4ch Analog Output (XLR)
• AD922 4ch Analog Input (D-sub)
• DA923 4ch Analog Output (D-sub)
Microphone Preamp
• AD914 4ch Mic Input (RJ-45)
De-embedder
The Modular I/O system can include a 16-channel de-embedder module that de-embeds audio from a video signal.
• HD944 16ch HD De-embedder (no embedder function) Video In/Thru, 1 slot, supports SMPTE299M HD standard
Dolby
These Dolby encoders and decoders use one slot. See the Modular I/O Configuration Guide for details.
• DE901 Dolby D/E Decoder
• DE911 Dolby E Encoder
• DE912 Dolby D/D+ Encoder
Format Conversion
The FC726 Format Converter is a bidirectional MADI converter, supplying 28 AES inputs (56 channels) with SRC and 28 AES out-
puts. I/O is divided into eight-channel banks to interface to multichannel devices, such as digital multitracks and DAWs. In ad-
dition to AES/EBU I/O, the FC726 supports direct connection to several third-party formats, including TDIF, SDIF-2, ADAT Op-
tical, and MADI (via SRCs). AES/EBU outputs are always active even when using third-party formats.
