X6R/V3R-TP 16 / 27 rev. 2.4
Device Details
SANE Ports
All TP units are equipped with two RJ45 200MBit SANE Ports for 64 bi-directional channels of synchronous audio
+ 100MBit Ethernet.
A/D and D/A Converter
24-bit converters supporting sample rates of 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192 kHz ensure the high-quality conversion
of analogue audio signals.
Analog Inputs
The microphone inputs include preamps with selectable gain between -4 dB to 66 dB in analogue 1 dB steps.
Phantom Power (+48V) can be activated individually on each input. The maximum input level is +22 dBu. It is
possible to use microphone inputs for line level sources.
The line inputs gain controls can be individually adjusted in four steps of maximum input level: 27 dBu, 22 dBu,
18 dBu and 8 dBu.
Analog Outputs
The outputs gain controls can be individually adjusted in four steps of maximum output level: 22 dBu, 18 dBu,
12 dBu and 8 dBu.
AES Ports
According to the AES/EBU standard, each physical channel contains two audio channels, i.e. with the eight digital
channels on one AES Port, 16 audio channels are available.
All X6R/V3R-TP units are equipped with two AES 8-channel Ports labelled A and B. The ports are software
adjustable for different tasks and can function as a digital split if required. Both ports can operate in parallel. In
converter mode the X6R/V3R-TP will automatically take its AES/EBU signals from the port with valid incoming
data with Port A having the highest priority and transmit the Preamp Control. Port B can be used to re-transmit the
incoming signals if required. Port B configuration depends on the hardware setup of the analogue I/O boards in
the device.
Word Clock
Devices with Optocore/SANE modules are equipped with an internal, high quality, low jitter clock generator as
well as Word Clock inputs and outputs. Any device on the network can act as the master of the network and pass
Word Clock to networked Optocore/SANE devices.
The internal/networked Word Clock is available at the Word Clock output connector of each device on the network
to synchronize non-networked devices.
In standalone network configurations external synchronization is not required.
The Word Clock input termination can be switched on using the OPTOCORE CONTROL software’s Local
Settings. External termination is not required to avoid cable reflections.
Word Clock master negotiation after any Word Clock source failure is done automatically.
Power Supply
The device is optionally equipped with two power inputs and power supply units. If one power supply fails, due to
malfunction of the feeding power line or the power supply unit itself, the device will automatically switch over to
the other power supply unit. In order to make the power supply redundant, both power inputs must be connected
to the mains supply, if possible to different phases, power supply systems, or even better, one of them to an
uninterrupted power supply (UPS).
The power supply units operate with mains voltage of 100 ... 240 V and frequency of 50 … 60 Hz. Thus the
device can be used throughout the world without any modifications or transformers.
Important:
The switched-mode power supplies operate at very high voltages.
Coming into contact with the power supplies can lead to considerable electric shock,
which may result in death.
To prevent electric shock, do not remove any covers of the device.
