    Utah-400 Components Deluxe Output Module The target circuit module, USI 121040-1, is an alternate output module for the Utah-400 digital audio router with capability to modify the payloads of the eight AES-formatted digital audio sig- nals that it conveys. Target Output Module FIGURE 4-24.
  • Page 95 All other signal manipulations are suitable for both synchronous and asynchronous AES sources. This module is substituted for the standard output module in a Utah-400 chassis, on an as- needed basis; to bring these enhanced features to those specific system outputs.

  • Page 96: Dac Output Module

    Utah-400 Components DAC Output Module The target circuit module, USI 121041-1, is an alternate output module for the Utah-400 digital audio router that delivers analog output signals. Like the 121040-1 deluxe output module, it has the capability to modify the characteristics of the eight AES-formatted digital audio input signals that it converts.
  • Page 97 Audio Chassis - Basic Layout Further, these operations are performed in concert with the channel status (C-bit) indications at the AES inputs, with outputs set appropriately, according to parameters from inputs and commanded functions. This module also includes the provisions present on the standard output module (USI 121027- 1), i.e.
  • Page 98 Utah-400 Components This module is substituted for the standard output module in a Utah-400 chassis, on an as- needed basis; to bring the above enhanced features and analog functionality to those specific system outputs. Since it derives two-channel analog outputs from each AES input signal, this module requires a special output adaptor fitted with two balanced audio connectors.

    Audio Chassis - Basic Layout ADC Input Module The Target Input module, USI 121042-1, is an alternate input module for the Utah-400 digital audio router with capability to accept eight two-channel analog input pairs, formatting them into eight AES digital audio signals for application to the routing matrix. This module is substi- tuted for standard input modules on an as-needed basis (as constrained by options for deploy- ment of analog I/O adaptor subassemblies and power).
