6BUsing the AES16

7.5 AES/EBU Dual-wire operation

The AES16 supports dual-wire AES/EBU

operation in which each physical input or output

connection passes a single channel AES/EBU

signal running at half the system sample rate.

This capability provides compatibility with

legacy devices that do not support single-wire

AES running at sample rates greater than 50kHz.

Dual-wire mode can be enabled independently

for inputs and outputs using the WideWire In

and WideWire Out controls on the Adapter

window of the Lynx Mixer. See Section 6.2 for

more information. When dual-wire mode is

enabled the number of available audio channels

is reduced to eight.

With WideWire In enabled, the AES16 translates

dual-wire input signals internally to input

channels of the on-board mixer according to the

first table to the right. In this mode, input

channels 5 – 8 are not active.

NOTE: Mixer Input Channel selection is

available using the Input Source select buttons

on the Record/Play window of the Lynx Mixer.

See Section 6.3. Record/Play Window

With WideWire Out enabled, the AES16

translates output signals to dual-wire connections

according to the second table. In this mode,

output channels 5 – 8 are not active.

7.6 ASIO Specific Setup

Several control parameters of the AES16 are

accessible from the ASIO Control Panel within

applications that utilize the AES16 ASIO driver.

Specific controls may vary, but most

applications offer access to buffer size, clock

selection, sample rate and number of active I/O

channels. One of the benefits offered by this

inter-application control, is that these parameters

can be saved with a project – allowing consistent

performance conditions each time a project is

opened.

For this reason, it is preferable to initiate these

settings from within the ASIO application, rather

than from the Lynx Mixer Adapter window

whenever possible.

For specific information about the parameters

available from within the most popular audio

applications, please see the application notes on

our website, at:

7.6.1 ASIO Positioning Protocol

The AES16 drivers support Steinberg's ASIO

Positioning Protocol (APP) for users that need

timecode synchronization capabilities and use an

application that supports ASIO Positioning

Protocol. In order to take advantage of this

feature, a Lynx LS-ADAT card would need to be

used in conjunction with the AES16 in order to

provide a sync source to the system. With a valid

sync source connected to the ADAT Sync In port

on the LS-ADAT, sample-accurate

synchronization is possible via APP.
