Audio Hardware Components

Discreet Native Audio uses the following hardware components, shipped with your system.
Lucid Converter ADA 88192 — Converts signals between the Linux workstation and all
digital or analog audio I/O devices.
AJA Balanced Audio breakout box and AJA OEM-2K board — The Balanced Audio
breakout box is the audio component of the AJA Breakout Box. It provides connections for
audio I/O. This breakout box connects to the AJA OEM-2K board on your workstation. The
OEM-2K board provides real-time input and output of uncompressed SD and HD video signals
as well as audio data at 24-bit resolution. The OEM-2K board handles balanced AES/EBU audio
signals from the Balanced Audio breakout box.

Understanding Remote vs. Local Control of the Lucid Converter

You can control the converter either remotely or locally. Remote control of the converter means
that you adjust converter settings through the audio preferences of the application. If you want
to control the converter remotely, you must connect the converter to the serial port of the HP
xw9400 workstation. Local control means you adjust converter settings manually, using the
controls on the front of the converter. Controlling the converter remotely is the recommended
method as it does not require physical access to the converter to change settings.
Whether you control the converter remotely or locally, you should take any necessary
precautions to prevent inadvertent adjustments to settings via the controls on the front of the
converter. For example, if the converter is one of several in a machine room, you might label
each with the name of the computer to which it is connected, along with whether control is local
or remote.
