16-channel AES/EUB digital I/O with 8-channel onboard sample rate conversion and 2 XLR cable sets.

The Lynx AES16-SRC offers excellent AES/EBU channel capacity and routing flexibility in a single PCI card. The AES16-SRC also gives you 8 channels of onboard sample rate conversion. With support for up to 16 channels of input and output at sample rates up to 192kHz, the Lynx AES16 turns your computer into a powerful digital router or patchbay with extensive flexibility and minimal cabling. Most importantly, the AES16-SRC supports the emerging single-wire 192kHz standard and is compatible with existing dual-wire AES/EBU devices. Install up to 4 Lynx AES16-SRC cards in a single computer.

Lynx includes 2 CBL-AES1604 cables with the AES16-SRC. The 6' cables feature 110-Ohm shielded twisted cabling. Each has 26-pin, high-density male D-sub to 4 female XLR (AES inputs), 4 male XLR's (AES outputs), and 2 female BNC's (word clock I/O).

Size: 5.0"H X 7.4"W X 0.75"D (half-size PCI card)

Digital I/O

Number/Type: 8 stereo inputs and 8 stereo outputs, 24-bit AES/EBU format, transformer coupled
Channels: 16 in/out in single-wire mode
Sample rates: All standard rates and variable rates up to 192kHz in both single-wire and dual-wire modes
Sample rate conversion: 8 channels available with support for conversion ratios up to 8:1, Dynamic range: 142dB, Multiple-input SRC phase matching

Architecture

Core: FPGA-based core contains custom PCI interface, data routing and formatting, device control, digital mixing, clock routing and control, and a DMA engine; 256KB of onboard RAM for data buffering; support for field upgrades of firmware
Audio devices: Card is visible to host applications as 8 record devices and 8 play devices (Each device has two channels and can be used independently for multi-client functionality)

Clocking

Sources: Digital inputs 1-4, external word clock (with XLR cables only) on BNC, internal word clock on header, onboard low-jitter crystal oscillator
SynchroLock: Multi-stage, VCXO-based clock generation system with high jitter attenuation (Wide mode tracks off-frequency clocks, narrow mode generates ultra-low jitter output for standard frequencies)
