User Manual  

GENERAL:

The DAC-4412 is designed to provide AES/EBU digital audio conversion to analogue stereo format. Four AES outputs (two balanced 110 Ohm and two unbalanced 75 Ohm) are provided for through signal and monitoring purposes.

The DAC-4412 may be used with AES digital signals at 48 kHz.

The digital circuitry of the DAC-4412 restores the signal rise and fall times and output level without the need to manually adjust gain and compensation controls.

The digital converter monitors the AES signal for errors, and lights an alarm indication on the front panel.

LEDs are also provided to indicate the analogue output level. These are user adjustable, but factory set to a -40 dBFS threshold.

Link settings allow the analogue audio output to be muted on loss of digital input.

An optional SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) plug-in module is available for remote monitoring when used in conjunction with IRT's frame fitted with SNMP capability.

The DAC-4412 is designed to fit IRT's standard Eurocard frames and may be used alongside any other of IRT's analogue or digital Eurocards.
