Connecting Audio Hardware
Lustre accommodates as many as eight audio inputs and eight audio output
channels, each with a 24-bit audio resolution. Lustre 2011 uses the audio BOB
of the DVS (Centaurus 1 and 2).
Audio Wiring Workflow
The following procedure provides the general workflow for setting up the
audio subsystem for Lustre.
To wire the audio subsystem:
1 Ensure that all of your workstation peripherals and video hardware
components are properly connected.
2 Verify that you have all the required audio hardware components. See
Audio Hardware Components on page 47.
3 Connect your audio hardware devices. See Audio Wiring on page 48.
4 Configure the Lucid converter for local control. See Configuring the Lucid
ADA 88192 Converter on page 50.

DVS Balanced Audio breakout box and DVS Centaurus 1 or 2 board The
Balanced Audio breakout box is the audio component of the DVS breakout
box. It provides connections for audio I/O. This breakout box connects to the
DVS Centaurus 1 or 2 board on your workstation. The Centaurus board
provides real-time input and output of uncompressed SD and HD video signals,
as well as audio data at 24-bit resolution. The Centaurus board handles
balanced AES/EBU audio signals from the Balanced Audio breakout box.
