Page 3: Important Notes
1 . User Guide. Installation • The Genex AES Expansion Card is installed into either of the two slots found on the back of the Genex GXA8 A/D converter or the Genex GXD8 D/A converter. The card should only be inserted or removed when the main unit is switched off.
Page 4: Layout Of This Manual
Layout of this Manual • Sections in this manual appear in the following order. 1 . A brief introduction to the Genex AES Expansion Card (GX8-AES) and how to fit it into either of the slots 2 . A pin-out of the 25-way connector on the back panel 3 .
Page 5: Introduction To The Genex Gx8-Aes
Introduction to the Genex GX8-AES Description • The GX8-AES™ card provides four AES/EBU inputs and outputs to the Genex GXA8™ and GXD8™ audio converters. This is in addition to the AES/EBU outputs (GXA8) or in- puts (GXD8) found on the converters already as standard. It slides easily yet firmly into the back of the GXA8 and GXD8 converters and uses a 25-way D-type connector for fully balanced AES/EBU i/o.

24-bits in the digital domain and output to a 24-bit digital editor or workstation. 1. Having fitted the GX8-AES card into the GXA8, connect the AES outputs of the re- corder to the AES expansion card via a Genex AES breakout cable. Ensure the channels are connected up in the correct order.
Page 8: Output
• In Pro Tools mode, when the main AES outputs on the GXA8 are connected to a DAC (e.g., GXD8) for analogue output, the GX8-AES card provides a second bank of AES outputs. Alternatively, the GX8-AES card may be used to connect to the GXD8 instead. Genex Research Limited Page 6...
Page 9: Pro Tools ® Digital Outputs
1. Having fitted the GX8-AES card into the GXA8, either connect the AES outputs of the recorder to the main AES inputs on the GXD8 or to the AES expansion card via a Genex AES breakout cable. Ensure the channels are connected up in the correct or- der.
