User manual GRASS VALLEY SONATA DATASHEET

[. . . ] product data sheet Sonata M a d I au d I o c o N V e r t e r B oX to simplify your audio signal infrastructure, consider the sonata MadI converter boxes. sonata supports aes balanced and unbalanced audio, as well as analog audio conversion to and from the MadI signaling interface. Sonata is a MADI conversion tool that allows you to put 64 audio signals onto one single coax cable. [. . . ] Sonata conversion tools support 64 audio channels on one coaxial cable (64 channels = 32 AES streams). Use Sonata to extend the audio processing with Maestro from eight channels to 16 channels. Also use Sonata to support an analog audio master control. Use Sonata with Apex to create distributed audio routing infrastructure as well as mix analog and digital infrastructures. Sample Rate Conversion Sonata AES models support sample rate conversion. They accept input rates from 32 kHz to 100 kHz all converted to 48 kHz. This feature can also be used to cost effectively synchronize a set of audio signals. Signal Formats Supported Balanced 110 AES ­ There is a conversion option to go both to and from MADI with 110 AES/EBU connections. Unbalanced 75 AES ­ There is a conversion option to go both to and from MADI with 75 AES connections. Analog ­ There is a conversion option to go both to and from MADI with analog connections. Integrates with MADI-supported Products MADI connections are supported on the Grass ValleyTM Apex Audio Routing Switcher as well as the MaestroTM Master Control Switcher. MADI is also common on audio switching consoles as well. These integration options allow you to optimize your audio environment. A Tool for Minimizing Wiring One of the values of the MADI interface is simplified wiring. By multiplexing multiple audio channels on to one coax, cabling requirements can be reduced. Minimizing the amount of cable is valuable in OB van applications and especially valuable when interconnecting OB vans. Minimized wiring is also a value especially in retrofit situations where running one cable instead of 32 saves labor and is physically realizable.
