The PSX-100 is essentially two independent converters in one unit: a stereo 24-bit/96K analog to digital con- verter and a stereo 24-bit/96K digital to analog converter housed in a 1U rack unit. It is also a bit-splitting device, a format converter, and has a rich set of features as described below:
Features
- A/D and D/A can be operated and clocked independently or cross-connected in several ways
- Dual Apogee Low Jitter Clocks (LJC) insure high-quality audio in any configuration
- UV22HR – the mastering standard for word-length reduction – allows 16 and 20-bit outputs without signif-icant loss of detail
- Soft Limit provides maximum digital level to your recording system without overs
- High-density 24-bit 88.2 and 96 kHz sampling as well as conventional 44.1 and 48 kHz rates
- Metering of either A/D output or D/A input
- AES/EBU, S/PDIF, ADAT and TDIF I/O
- Optional video card allows sync to PAL, NTSC, or Black & White video signals
- ‘Digital Copy Mode’ allows format conversion between AES/EBU, S/PDIF, ADAT, and TDIF
- ‘Analog Monitor Mode’ monitors A/D output through the D/A converter
- ABS-96 operation allows recording of 24-bit/96kHz audio on 16-bit ADAT or TDIF machines
- ABS (Apogee Bit-Splitting) allows recording and playback of 24-bit audio on 16-bit machines – available onADAT, TDIF and AES I/O.
