IQAAD00

Four-channel Audio Analog to Digital Converter

The IQAAD00 converts two analog stereo pairs, or four analog mono channels into two AES/EBU digital audio streams. Each analog input is sampled at 48 kHz with 24-bit resolution. Sampling can be free-running, locked to a reference video signal or 48 kHz AES/EBU digital audio stream. Video standard is automatically determined. The IQAAD00 also provides proc amp control, channel routing and mixing, up to 0.5s of tracking audio delay and additional fixed delay of up to 3s adjustable in 1 ms steps.

FEATURES

  • Converts four analog audio channels into two AES/EBU digital audio streams
  • Firewall for processed PCM audio to provide a continuous output
  • Channel-level (sub-frame) routing
  • 4 off 4 channel assignable audio mixers
  • Flexible audio delay including per pair fixed delay, common  fixed delay and tracking delay
  • Variable audio delay of up to 0.5s which seamlessly tracks an external video delay via RollTrack/GPI inputs
  • Audio proc amp (gain, mute, polarity)
  • GV Orbit control and monitoring compatible
