Datasheet

   
Description  
The AES silence detection system is based around silence detector cards, which have programmable fail level, time to fail and time to restore.The card also has an auto changeover to a backup AES source.  
Features  
Inputs: Each channel has main and backup AES inputs, with optional sample rate converters.  
Outputs: Single AES output, with synchronous switching from main to backup  
Time to Fail: On board selectable 1 to 16 seconds in 1 second intervals.  
Fail Level: On board selectable -35dBFS, -50dBFS, - 65dBFS or -80dBFS  
Time to Restore: On board selectable 5 to 20 seconds in 5 second intervals.  
Status Indicators: Front or remote panel LEDs show if main or backup source is routed to output. A visual and audible alarm is given if the source changes from main to backup.
