CEDAR Audio LYNX AES16 PCI Card, PCI AES / EBU Interface

8 stereo inputs and 8 stereo outputs, 24-bit AES/EBU format, transformer coupled

16 in/out in single-wire mode

All standard rates and variable rates up to 192kHz in both single-wire and dual-wire modes

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

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)

Digital inputs 1-4, external word clock (with XLR cables only) on BNC, internal word clock on header, onboard low-jitter crystal oscillator

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)

Hardware-based, low latency

Ability to route any input to any or multiple outputs

Up to four input or playback signals mixed to any output, 40-bit precision

Peak levels to -114dB on all inputs and outputs

Supports Lynx LStream expansion cards including the LS-ADAT 16-channel ADAT I/O card

High-speed serial, up to 16 channels @ 24-bits on 14-pin internal connector

Two bracket-mounted 26-pin high-density female D-sub connectors
(Can be configured to support eight channel or four channel AES connections)

75-Ohm BNC word clock input and output provided on XLR cable set

Two 75-ohm board-mounted 2-pin headers for word clock input and output

Windows 2000 / XP platforms: MME, ASIO 2.0, WDM, DirectSound, Direct Kernel Streaming, and GSIF

CoreAudio for OSX

Multi-window GUI provides complete control of digital mixer and all hardware settings

Version 2.2 compliant

Up to 132 MBps using custom 16-channel zero-wait state, scatter-gather DMA engine Bus mastering supported

5.0 x 7.4 x 0.75" (12.7 x 18.7 x 1.90cm) (half-size PCI card)
