Description
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
- 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.
- 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)
- 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.
