192kHz Multichannel Audio Reference Interface
Incorporating state-of-the-art converter technology
, the LynxTWO
is capable
of
precision never before achieved in a PCI audio card. With performance that
exceeds stand-alone converters, LynxTWO sets new standards for signal purity,
versatile synchronization, powerful hardware mixing, and extensibility to
support a variety of multichannel formats including ADAT and TDIF.
The LynxTWO incorporates the latest generation 24-bit/192kHz converter
technology to create a PCI audio which rivals the performance of many
high-end studio converters. A choice of three multi-channel analog
configurations makes it ideal for DVD-authoring, multi-channel
recording, mastering, broadcasting, synchronization and video applications,
with non-audio digital I/O support provided for Dolby Digital.
Lynx L22
192kHz PCI Digital Audio Interface
The Lynx L22 is a professional audio interface card designed for the most demanding
audio recording, post-production, broadcast, and measurement applications. Based on
LynxTWO technology, the L22 can capture or generate signals beyond the audio bandwidth
up to 100 kHz with extreme accuracy. Using proprietary circuit topologies and custom
components in the analog stages coupled with the latest converter technology, the L22
achieves a 117 dB dynamic range. Most importantly, advanced noise-rejection design techniques maintain this performance
in real world use from computer to computer.
◆ 24-bit analog inputs and outputs with three
options: 4-in/4-out (LynxTWO-A), 2-in/6-
out (LynxTWO-B) or 6-in/2-out
(LynxTWO-C), each with line levels of
either +4dBu or -10dBV, selectable in chan-
nel pairs through the mixer software.
◆ The 32-channel mixer application also con-
trols the card’s routing, monitoring and
sample clock settings.
◆ Includes balanced audio and sync cable sets
◆ Has one digital I/O supporting both
AES/EBU and S/PDIF formats at 16,20 and
24-bit depths, and features a sample rate
converter for up to 3.1 rate conversion
from the digital input signals.
◆ The internal port allows data routing and
synchronization between multiple
LynxTWO cards, while the external port
allows the connection of Lynx,ADAT, TDIF
and other multi-channel interfaces for great
system flexibility.
◆ Tw o LStream expansion ports support
multi-channel interface modules, with each
port offering 8-input/output channels of
24-bit/96kHz operation.
◆ Powerful synchronization and time code
facilities include an LTC reader/generator
which accommodates all standard frame
rates,and a low-jitter sample clock genera-
tor, which is capable of locking to NTSC or
PAL video signals, and to standard refer-
ence and word clock signals.
◆ Large on-board buffers and extremely efficient zero-wait state DMA
engine ensure glitch-free recording and playback. This provides toler-
ance to system latencies and significantly reduces load on the host CPU.
◆ Extremely flexible onboard digital mixer allows the L22 to adapt to any
studio or workstation configuration.
◆ Each of the mixer’s 16 outputs is capable of mixing signals from 16
physical inputs or 16 playback tracks with 32-bit precision.
◆ A choice of dither algorithms is available on each input to mask
low-level artifacts while reducing word widths to 8, 16, or 20 bits.
◆ The L22 provides I/O expansion via its two LStream ports.
Combined, these ports allow 16 channels of additional I/O from
external ADAT, AES/EBU, or TDIF devices. The ports can also be
used to route data and synchronize to other L22’s or LynxTWO’s
to create high channel-count systems.
