Appsys Flexiverter AES3 16x16 channel format converter for AES/EBU

ULTRA-COMPACT CONVERTERS + SWITCHABLE FORMAT BOARDS

A Flexiverter is an ultra-compact box with a main format, dual power supply and a slot for a switchable AUX board, which adds the conversion format to the FLX unit. At the moment 5 FLX units and 10 AUX boards are available.

Pick two of these formats and combine them in one 9.5 inch Flexiverter box:

• DANTE
• MADI OPTICAL/COAXIAL/SFP
• AES3
• ADAT 8 x 8
• AVB
• Analog Out
• AES50
• AES67

Format combinations provide the most common conversions with improved features and unique pairings
(e. g. AES50 <> Dante, Dante <> Dante SRC, Dante <> AVB).

3 possible Flexiverter applications

1. Stand alone: A single Flexverter with Aux extension card. Insert and switch any aux board in every main FLX unite and create the converter of your choice.
2. Dual mode: Two Flexverters. AS 1-to-1 converter with more channels (fits in 1RU). Convert up to 4 formats with one pairing (signal splitting to Aux or Flexlink)
3. Multiverter Extension: Connect one Flecverter via Flexlink to the Multiverter MVR-64 to add an additional format conversion, SRC or more channels.

THE FLEXLINK CONNECTION

The FlexLink connection is designed to connect two Flexiverters, or one Flexiverter with the Multiverter. It provides:

• 192×192 channels bi-directional transmission of 24-bit uncompressed audio (fully transparent to AES3 compatible metadata bits)
• Super-low link latency of 4 samples (ca. 83μs)
• Dedicated, high-quality reference clock signal with automatic configuration
• Power supply for connected devices (to reduce cabling), alternatively serves as redundancy scheme when both devices are powered: in case of power failure, both devices keep working from the remaining power supply.
• Uses standard HDMI cables (with locking screws), to provide easy field replacement in case of defects.
