Description

Lynx AES16 Audio Interface Details
The Lynx AES16 incorporates a new Lynx technology called SynchroLock that provides extreme jitter tolerance at all inputs, thus offering a solution for jitter problems in AES signals. By coupling statistical analysis with low-noise clock generation techniques, SynchroLock is able to extract a very clean clock from AES signals affected by long cable lengths and other noise sources. The clock output of SynchroLock can also be used as a very accurate word clock source for other studio devices.

Glitch-free recording and playback is assured due to the AES16's large on-board buffers and extremely efficient zero-wait state DMA engine. These features provide tolerance to system latencies and significantly reduce load on the host CPU. Data transfer hardware and software are highly optimized to provide extremely low latencies for ASIO and other real-time applications.

The AES16 includes an LStream expansion port for increasing its I/O capabilities. Connecting a Lynx LS-ADAT adds multi-channel ADAT lightpipe I/O and supports format conversion between AES/EBU and ADAT. The LStream port can also be used for routing data to a second AES16 and increasing the channel count to 32.

The AES16-SRC model offers eight channels of mastering quality sample rate conversion to accommodate studios running multiple samples rates or signals not locked to 'house sync'.

The on-board digital mixer offers flexible patch-bay style routing and digital mixing. Zero Latency 32-channel / 32-bit digital mixer with 16 sub outputs. Multiple dither algorithms per channel.

The Lynx AES16 is available in three different versions:

AES16 - Standard model without cables.
AES16XLR - Includes two 6' balanced AES/EBU XLR cable sets (model CBL-AES1604)
AES16SRC - Eight channels of sample rate conversion. Includes two 6' balanced AES/EBU XLR cable sets (model CBL-AES1604)

Lynx AES16 Specifications

Digital I/O
Number/Type: Eight stereo inputs and eight stereo outputs 24-bit AES/EBU format, transformer coupled
Channels: 16 in/out in single-wire mode 8 in/out in dual-wire mode
Sample Rates: All standard rates and variable rates up to 192 kHz in both single-wire and dual-wire modes
Sample Rate Conversion: Eight channels available with support for conversion ratios up to 8:1 (Dynamic range: 142 dB)
Architecture
Core: FPGA-based core contains custom PCI interface, data routing and formatting, device control, digital mixing, clock routing and control, and DMA engine.
256 Kbytes of on-board RAM for data buffering.
Support for field upgrades of firmware.
Audio Devices: Card is visible to host applications as eight record devices and eight play devices. Each device has two channels and can be used independently for multi-client functionality.
Clocking
Sources: Digital inputs 1 - 4, external word clock (with XLR cables only) on BNC, internal word clock on header, on-board low-jitter crystal oscillator.
SynchroLock: Multi-stage, VCXO-based clock generation system with high jitter attenuation. Wide mode tracks off-frequency clocks, narrow mode generates ultra-low jitter output for standard frequencies.
On-Board Digital Mixer
Type: Hardware-based, low latency
Routing: Ability to route any input to any or multiple outputs
Mixing: Up to four input or playback signals mixed to any output, 40-bit precision
Status: Peak levels to -114 dB on all inputs and outputs
Lstream Expansion Port
Compatibility: Supports Lynx LStream expansion cards including the LS-ADAT 16-Channel ADAT I/O card.
Type: High-speed serial, up to 16 channels @ 24-bits on 14-pin internal connector.
Connections
I/O Ports: Two bracket-mounted 26-pin high-density female D-sub connectors. Can be configured to support eight channel or four channel AES connections.
External Clock: 75-ohm BNC word clock input and output provided on XLR cable set.
Internal Clock: Two 75-ohm board mounted 2-pin headers for word clock input and output.
Software
Windows Drivers: For Windows 2000 / XP / Vista platforms: MME, ASIO 2.0, WDM, DirectSound, Direct Kernel Streaming and GSIF
Macintosh Driver: CoreAudio for OSX
Mixer Application: Multi-window GUI provides complete control of digital mixer and all hardware settings
General
