    1. As a member of the Sigma OctaStream™ product family, it includes the OctaBus™ TDM interconnect. This allows the DA5320 to function as a 64 X 8 channel AES router utilizing a single input connector. Deformatting AES signals into single channel streams along with distinct input/output channel assignment facilitates channel-swapping across AES signals.
