Audio Processor Cards

While the AMP2-16V comes standard with a dual input 3G/HD/SD-

SDI card, it can be outfitted with up to five optional cards of various

types so that it can be customized for your particular installation.

• Dual Input 3G/HD/SD-SDI Card: This card has two selectable 3G/

HD/SD-SDI inputs, one reclocked 3G/HD/SD-SDI output of the

selected input, and eight de-embedded AES outputs on two HD-15

connectors from the selected input. The de-embedded AES output

signals can be delayed up to 160 ms in 1 ms increments. Up to three

of these cards can be installed in an AMP2-16V. The video from the

selected input can be displayed on the left screen of the front panel.

• AES Input Card: This card provides BNC inputs for eight AES

channel pairs. These inputs can be metered, monitored, or output to

optional output cards, according to preset and menu settings.

• AES Output Card: This card provides BNC outputs for eight AES

channel pairs. These outputs can be derived from other inputs,

decoded Dolby channels, or the flexible internal audio mixer,

according to preset and menu settings.

• Analog I/O and SPDIF (TOSLINK) Card: This card provides four

channel pairs of balanced analog inputs and four channel pairs of

balanced analog outputs on two DB-25 connectors. It also provides

an optical input for another channel pair. The outputs can be

derived from other inputs, decoded Dolby channels, or the flexible

internal audio mixer, according to preset and menu settings.

Refer to Chapter 6: Input/Output Modules and Options on page 129

for a complete description and pin-out of each of the preceding cards.

Genlock Input

To ensure the best performance, the AMP2-16V includes a Genlock

input to keep all of the inputs synchronized. Note that if the Genlock

input is not used, by default the AMP2-16V will automatically locate a

clock source from the input cards starting with the lowest-numbered

card slot.
