Link Electronics 812-OP/M Digital Module AES Tone Generator

An epitome of audio precision, the GenFlex 812-OP/M stands out as an advanced 24-bit digital audio generator, meticulously crafted for professionals seeking sophisticated and high-quality audio solutions. This innovative module is specifically designed for seamless integration with the SPG-812 GenFlex frame, offering a streamlined experience for users.

The core function of the 812-OP/M is to generate a pristine AES/EBU digital audio signal, serving as a versatile digital tone source or a reliable digital audio timing reference. Its robust feature set is tailored to accommodate a diverse array of applications, ensuring adaptability and performance. One of the standout features includes the ability to genlock the audio to digital or analog video within the GenFlex frame, providing synchronization that is essential for professional audio and video environments.

For scenarios that require independent operation, this module boasts a high stability oscillator that allows it to free run, maintaining consistent performance without the need for external synchronization. The internal mechanics of the 812-OP/M are equally impressive, with a 24-bit audio "wave table" stored in ROM, ensuring the generation of audio tones is of the highest fidelity.

Users are granted the flexibility to select the amplitude and frequency of the audio tone from a predetermined set of eight combinations. This selection includes three distinct frequencies (1KHz, 400Hz, 60Hz) and three levels (0dBFS, -10dBFS, -20dBFS), catering to the nuanced needs of audio professionals. Additionally, the module is capable of producing "digital silence" or any of the eight combinational tones, offering versatility in output.

Equipped with three digital outputs that comply with the AES3-ID interconnection standard, the 812-OP/M operates at the professional sample rate frequency of 48kHz, ensuring compatibility with industry standards. The module's user interface is intuitive, featuring LEDs that indicate tone frequency and level, digital silence, lock status, and power indication. Users also have the convenience of manipulating some of the user status bits via dip switches on the module, providing control and customization.

Constructed with an unwavering commitment to quality, the GenFlex audio generator is capable of producing the highest resolution audio available in the AES3 format. As a member of Link Electronics' esteemed GenFlex family of analog/digital generator products, the 812-OP/M is engineered to occupy any of the five auxiliary slots in LINK'S SPG-812 frame, alongside the potential for five additional modules plus one 812-OP/E audio module.

The GenFlex 812-OP/M Digital Module AES Tone Generator is the professional's choice for a reliable, high-quality audio signal generation, backed by the reputable brand of Link Electronics, known for its legacy in producing top-tier audio equipment. Whether for broadcast, studio, or live production settings, this sophisticated digital module is poised to deliver unparalleled audio performance.
